    I have 89 clips from that camera that contain SMPTE time-code that is sequential. Premier reads it but Vegas sees each clip starting over at 00:00:00:00, no matter what I do.

    Mike and John – Thanks for the replies. I am familiar with how Vegas allows for adding fx at the media, event, tack and output levels. I had already tried adding timecode to my media, both through scripting and individually, but I still do not get the original SMPTE code that my camera generated for each clip as I do in Adobe Premiere CS6. It may relate to the fact that we shot these projects at 60fps, as we had actors in fast motion against greenscreen and the script called for a lot of slo-mo. What is weird is that although Premiere allows for a 60fps setting when applying media timecode effect at the media level, it will only display the correct original code at the 30fps setting.

    Yes I can obviously export it from Vegas, but the client wants to use the original files, and the edit is already a very complicated Premiere project that needs to be finished there. I am simply looking for a codec that could be added to my system that Premier can use to see the file. So far, am finding nothing. The client may have to accept a transcode!

    Well, after a serious case of brain-fade, I figured it out. All is good!

    Dinky sensor? Sensor size alone does not define the final output quality of a particular camera. The final output capability of both the GH3 and the Blackmagic cinema camera easily demonstrates that.

    I just completed a (3)HD cam + audio recorder multi-cam shoot and edit for 4 days of a legal seminar presentations. Had to pull specific sections of various presenters, fine-tune them and then upload to corporate HQ. My work flow was to multi-cam edit in Vegas 12 the entire presentation. Then, un-group and re-group just the pertinent takes, copy and then paste them into another instance of Vegas running at the same time. Finish the specific edit, encode and upload. Have done multicam this way in Vegas numerous times.

    I have progressed through the Panasonic GH1, 2 and now the 3. The GH3 has so many new and improved features, I must say it has finally reached a level of performance that excels in many different situations. Audio ‘Confidence Monitoring’ from the headphone jack, the addition of settable timecode, 50 Mb/sec .MOV setting, AVCHD 2.0, new OLED EVF and OLED LCD, clean HDMI out and the availability of (2) really excellent Panasonic X Vario ‘Power Zoom’ lenses (which I now own and use – yes, some types of video production do require power zooming!), and the list goes on. I owned/used and sold, after a year, my Sony A65 (brother to the problematic A99. The GH3 is a far more-capable camera.
