  • Sony Vegas Pro 13 support of Canon RAW or DNG?

    Posted by Shane Etter on May 29, 2014 at 4:41 pm

    I’m looking to do more Canon MagicLantern RAW video shooting. I’m just wondering if the new version 13 will allow for direct import of RAW files (almost 4k) into it for workflow ease?

    For those who don’t know, you must convert Canon RAW files into DNG via a piece of software RAW2DNG and then import them frame at a time into the timeline.

    It’s the same situation as Vegas 12. Vegas uses the Microsoft Raw API to import raw photos. So if you have the latest Microsoft Camera CODEC pack installed, you can drop supported raw files on the Vegas timeline. Don’t recall if DNG is supported, but I believe it has all Canon DSLRS covered. Works for me (6D, 60D).

    Shame they didn’t add direct support for CinemaDNG, which would certainly be handier than dealing with thousands of raw files (in my case from time lapse shooting, haven’t tried the Magic Lantern raw hacks yet).

    I am in the exact same situation, except I shoot with a Canon 6D
