Yup… should drop right on the timeline.
I have the same camera for personal use and it edits like a charm.

If you are tempted to go the render-route, you can also just save the project and import each project as an event in a master project. (Vegas 6)
It’s just like rendering – only without the rendering.

Perhaps masking with a carefully-placed clone of the section that you want to hide? (I hope I am reading this right) In other words, make a new layer in photoshop that has covers the button with a snapshot of the background.

Once I understood the question, I THOUGHT I had the answer, but it appears I do not.
Under the track-motion header, one can specify compositing modes, and I always ASSUMED the changes were keyframe-able. Now that I look closer, I see that it’s not(?) Hmmph! Ya learn something every day.
Now I wonder if I, too am missing something.
Sorry I could not help in this case.

If I am understanding you correctly, you want to apply effects to indifidual clips? no problem my friend! Simply click on the effects icon on the individual clip OR drag the desired effect from the FX tab to the event on the time line. Done and done.

I see. Well here is what I would expect from Vegas: (Pulled directly from my backside, so buyer beware.)
It SHOULD work similar to realtime DV preview via firewire. Those who work with Vegas would know that means that you will get a surprising amount of realtime preview until the computer can no longer handle the load, at which point Vegas begins to dumb-down resolution and/or frame rate in preview depending on your settings. So yeah, it’s RT, but it’s not always perfect. But like I said, I think you will be amazed at what it does all by itself.
The grace with which your computer handles the tasks are mostly a function of your memory, processing power, and the speed of your storage. Vegas 6 is reportedly much more able to take advantage of HT and Multi-processor environments, but the jury is out on this one. (Give us all a few days to deliberate.)
I do a lot of SD work on a 2.8 HT machine with IDE raid and a gob of RAM – and I often sit and render sections to get a good look at my work. Other times I am perfectly happy letting the machine drop to 15 FPS, or with trickier sequences scrubbing the TL to see my changes and letting it all render out when I’m through. I’m due for an upgrade pretty soon, and am hoping for strides in multi-processing with the new rev of Vegas.
That’s my best guess.

I think the answer is a qualified yes. If my understanding is correct it works very much like the firewire-to-NTSC previewing you are already used to.
This is just a barely-informed guess, so I’d suggest before you make any decisions you call a Blackmagic dealer like Promax and see what they have to say.
I’d be interested in knowimg more too, so post your findings.
