HVX200 to Final Cut to Vegas
I was asked this by a Mac user and, since I’ve never worked with footage from this camera, thought it was time to ask the experts here.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.———————————————
Here’s his question:A local rental house sent us a Panasonic HVX200 that was used by a lady to shoot her wedding . All of the footage is on a Firestore FS100 .
We use Final Cut in-house here so putting the footage on that is not problem … however, here’s the situation.
The lady wants to keep the footage in HD because she wants to edit it in HD. Her brother has Vegas. Any tips on the best mthod to transfer the footage to a medium that would allow her to ingest it into Vegas?
I’m thinking that I’m going to need to suggest to her that we can dump everything onto a portable 160G hard-drive and send it to her but I want to make sure that it will be Vegas-friendly.

I am no mac expert either Mike,
But my two cents…would be to port everything to a hard drive as
you are thinking of doing…..If this is done, there is no way their
can be any stumbling blocks when its being imported in Vegas.Steve Rhoden

Thanks Steve.
It looks like the Raylight HD codec ($195.00) or the Raylight decoder ($95.00) from DVFilm is the answer. -
Yes, the Raylight HD codec is an excellent codec format to use.
Did you get confirmation from your client? Because she will
need to have at least the $95 raylight decoder installed
on their system.Steve Rhoden

The original question came from a friend of mine who was hired by this woman to transfer the footage to a format that Vegas could handle as her brother uses Vegas and she wants to do the edit herself – in HD.
I told my friend to have her call me if she has any questions at all about this process. -
OK..Hope she complies and makes your workflow as easy as just porting
to a hard-drive.
(rarely clients make my workflow easy…but i am used to it by now)…laughSteve Rhoden
