Vegas and Y’CbCr/YUV
I have always been under the impression that Vegas has been internally RGB (up until version 8 at least) as I had read it in some trade publication some time ago. It’s never bothered me as I’ve not personally done too much video editing in Vegas anyway (I mostly use it for audio) but not too long ago I was involved in a production that is insisting on cutting strictly in Vegas. Since I will be now using Vegas in a professional production environment, I wanted to set the record straight once and for all.
Is Vegas indeed internally RGB? When importing native YCbCr and exporting with the Sony YUV codec, does the footage get converted to RGB and then back to YUV?
Is Vegas 9 any different?
Thanks to all in advance.

Check out the various excellent articles on Glenn Chan’s site as he gets into this in a fair bit of detail.
