  What’s best HD format for editing same footage in FCPX and Sony Vegas Pro 11?

  The original footage is HDV from a Sony FX-1.

  I’ve tried the free Avid codec but you must use Compressor to convert the FCPX work, compression takes a long time and the files are awfully large. Maybe I used the wrong settings for the Avid codec so please don’t consider it a closed option; it’s just my experience prompts me to continue looking.

  Cineform is supposed to be useable but I’ve been unable to figure out the proper settings to create a compatible cross-platform file.

  As with many posts like mine, a recipe would be extremely helpful. There are so many options available with some of these codecs!
