Converting H264 .MP4 footage for Vegas Pro 10? Workflow?
Dear all,
I google everywhere and can’t find a solution for my Panasonic HX-DC1 H264 encoded .MP4 video for editing in Vegas Pro 10.I wanted to try Vegas, I used FCP with my Canon EOS 7D H264 .MOV.
I tried edit the footage of .MP4 from the camera directly via Vegas Pro 10. However, it is not smooth. I don’t mind converting .MP4 into Vegas Pro friendly file format or coding.
What are the workflow for H264 .MP4 footage?
Appreciate your help in this.

I shoot 1080/60i, 24p, 60p, and 720/60p with Panasonics (HMC40 and TM700) and more recently, with the Canon 60D.
For a layer or two, Vegas 10 is just dandy on my PC (AMD 1090T x6@3.2GHz, 16GB DRAM, AMD Radeon HD 6970 GPU), Vegas 11 generally a bit faster with the GPU acceleration. For anything more complex, I might convert to Cineform for editing. Though I’ve also used Sony MXF 4:2:2 at 50Mb/s, which is a built-in format on Vegas (Cineform Neo is a $100 extra). Another option is Avid DNxHD, which looks very nice, runs a bit larger than Cineform, but doesn’t render terribly fast.
