I’m sorry, this rant is totally bogus. Can you spell T-R-O-L-L?
This past March 1, after 10 years, I felt forced to drop Vegas Pro and switched to Premiere Pro CS5. Yes, there was a learning curve, as was to be expected.
If the OP has actually tried to use PPro, there is no indication of such an attempt in his post. Just ranting.
Yes, Vegas has some helpful methods that I miss. It’s audio tools are second to none (for an NLE). However, PPro has one advantage–it works! Vegas was getting bogged by all the bell and whistles they kept tacking on, year after year.
Vegas could be a dream also, but the fact is it isn’t! None of the NLEs I’ve seen are perfect.

You have to have bought CS5 on March 11 or later to qualify for a free upgrade.
I missed it by 10 days.

Open your clip in the Source monitor. At the bottom of the screen are two icons–a film clip and an audio speaker. Select clip/speaker and drag to your video/audio to the timeline.

That seems to be the preferred method, instead of using MXF files.
Thank you, Steve!

Are you importing MP4 files from the BPAV folder or MXF files into the timeline?

It works now. Downloaded latest version and updated video drivers.

Yes, I’ve used it before–many times.

Craig, I’m not here to convince anyone of anything. The point is you’re trying to compare two different classes of cameras. That’s an exercise in futility.
You speak of “ifs” and that could be applied to anything and everything. We aren’t dealing with “ifs,” we’re dealing with reality–what the situation is. You were the one that pointed out, rightly so (and I paraphrase), that just as there are classes of cameras, there are classes of “indy” film production.
So back to the bottom line: If you can’t afford the F3 get the AF-100, stop whining, and get on with your production.

Craig, you too are attempting to compare two cameras that aren’t anywhere near the same class; they’re worlds apart–apples to oranges.
The XF100 has a 1/3″ sensor. The F3 has a Super 35mm sensor, not to mention the capabilities to record with much higher quality codecs.
I dare say if the truth were known, most folks complaining really love the camera, they simply can’t afford it. Hence, their complaining, but that’s just my opinion.

Philip, in this business, you get what you pay for. You’re attempting to compare apples and oranges.
Buy the AF-100, if that’s what you want, and stop beefing. Life’s too short.
