Thanks Kristian. Nice to know it should be fixed eventually.

Exporting a .PNG image sequence from Vegas to AE (and bringing same back into Vegas) works well- you won’t have any framerate rounding errors, you’ll be able to roundtrip an alpha channel with each frame, and if you need to make changes to a limited number of frames in AE you can do that (alleviating the need to re-render the entire file as would be the case with .avi)

Thanks for your reply. Exporting to another format is not really a problem. I was hoping I could capture directly to a format that would be readable in several apps. Unfortunately AfterFX is the main concern. And vegas was the prefered choice for capture. Like others have pointed out, this is really an Adobe 8 bit yuv compatibility problem.
A workable solution is to use premiere pro to capture 10 bit blackmagic AVI’s that AfterFX has no trouble reading.
