HVX200 and Premier Pro
Hello,
I know this question must have been asked a hundred times,
but I can’t seem to find a good answer. I am considering buying
a HVX200 and wonder what the workflow with Premiere Pro is.
The main use would be indie filmaking.So… Cinefore? Some software from MainConcept? Native?
Any ideas/experiences or suggestions would be very helpful.
Thanks
MBW

Suggest you look at Raylight, see https://dvfilm.com/raylight

Marcus,
Thanks for the link. So do you use Raylight? What about
the Cineform with Raylight decoder? What are your experiences?Mark

I’m the author of Raylight.
Interestingly, you can bump back and forth between the Raylight decoder and the Panasonic decoder by switching back and forth between Raylight Blue and Raylight Green (Raylight Green in the new release of Raylight uses the Panasonic decoder to do fast previews). The extra noise in the Panasonic decoder is very apparent in, for example, dark areas with horizontal lines. For that reason you should only use it for a preview, never a final render of your program.

The author… Wow… Thanks for taking the time to help me out.
So if I understand correct, when using the Raylight decoder,
there is less articfacting than the Panasonic viewer decoder. I
must have missed the link on workflow for Raylight. Need to go
back an check it out again. So, how does this all work with the
CineForm AspectHD. I see mention of it on your sight, but I’m
not clear. The Cineform site seems to indicate that there
intermidiate format is great… Hmmm.. I think there is more to
learn…Thanks again!

What might be confusing is that there are two separate products:
The Raylight system allows you to bring MXF files directly into Premiere (or Vegas) and edit native DVCPROHD. Premiere+Raylight is all you need to edit with the HVX200.
The other product is Raylight Decoder, which is a set of decoder plugins for CineForm and Quicktime. It replaces the Panasonic decoder in CineForm HDLink and improves its image quality. The link for the decoder is here: https://dvfilm.com.raylight/decoder

Marcus,
Ah ha…. Now I get it. The raylight decoder is used
with CineForm, but that flow allows conversion to CineForm
intermediate, where as just using the Raylight interface
allows editing directly the MXF files. Okay so no matter
what, the actual P2 card files need to go through some
sort of conversion before being usable in PPro.Thanks for the help Marcus!!!
