  • editing Sony HDR-FX7 footage with Vegas 5

    HI: I’m thinking of buying a Sony HDR-FX7 camera. I curently use Vegas 5 to edit. Will Vegas 5 handle this?. If so, is the process the same as importing footage from say the old VX2100 or is there more to it. THANKS!!!!

    No, No, You are gonna have to upgrade your current
    version of Vegas. And the importing process is somewhat the same.

    OK, upgrade meaning get the latest version (version10)or is there a way to modify my Vegas 5 so it will handle the footage. Also I thought the HDR camera also films in standard def anyway.

    Yes, upgrade means getting the latest version.
    It also films in standard Def, So Vegas 5 can still handle that.
    but you don’t want to limit yourself, trust me, That is why
    i recommend upgrading….Vegas 5 aint gonna handle HDV workflow efficiently.

    OK, thanks for your time with this, just one more question. Right now I can get my hands on version 6 to use for the time being. Will Vegas 6 handle this footage?. From what I see it should, I just wanted to verify.

    Yes, Vegas 6 can handle things.
