RE Go Pro files
I’m looking at Vegas Pro 10 and wanted to know if the program will allow me to drop files such as the GoPro camera as well as other CF and SD camera files onto the Vegas timeline then convert to 50mb / 422 in order to transfer on to disk using the Sony PDW-U1.
Thank you.

Steve: Thanks for the quick response. Excuse my lack of knowledge. So if I would set up Vegas Project for the HD XDCam, then drag the outside file onto the timeline, would Vegas ask me if I want to convert the file? Or would I have to do a conversion by some other means? How simple is it?
I ask these questions because I own the Sony F800,F3,Ex1,GoPros and the NanoFlash. I also have the PDW-U1. I need to convert the non-HD XDCam media to the HD XDCam format to ofload on to the disk. In the past I’ve been moving the alien files to the data storage folder on the disk then letting the folks in post do the conversion. Now they want me convert it and get the material onto the disks in HD XDCam. I’ve been looking for an editing program other than FCPro to do this. Really don’t want to have to purchase a Mac for this, nor do I want to have to purchase new pc in order to run CS5. I was thinking Vegas Pro 10 might be another way to go.
Thanks

You don’t have to convert GoPro files before you drag them onto the timeline, but when you go to export them as HD XDCAM files you’re going to need to render them.

[dusty powers] ” would Vegas ask me if I want to convert the file?”
Vegas will never ask you to convert a file format. If you have the right CODECs installed, then Vegas can pretty much take anything on the timeline. You want your project properties set to represent what our output will be.
