I’m not certain but I think Resolve 12 has a 5D setting. But if your serious about grading in Vegas, the ACES approach is what the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has set down as a standard. There is a really good tutorial by Jacob Balazer who not only shows you how, but also supplies you with what is needed in Vegas to achieve correct results.
At the very least you should be familiar with the standard set down by the Academy. The tutorial can be found at https://www.jbalazer.com/aces-in-sony-vegas#TOC-ACES-and-ACEScc-Intro-and-Tutorial-for-Sony-Vegas-ProRuss Froze

[Matthew Jeschke] “windows doesn’t have codecs to play them otherwise”
Windows Media Player does not have access to the Quicktime Player codec. If Quicktime is installed then quicktime will play the prores files. Media Player will not and it is doubtful it ever will.

Ok, I’m sorry to say I have not upgraded to Win 10 for the reason that many of my peers have issues on the Win 10 platform. So until a stable version is released I’ll stay with win 7. That said it begs the question of the Quicktime player installed on the Win 10 machine. Mov files are readable by windows via the Quicktime player which is problematic by Apple refusing to grant the 64 bit licence to Microsoft or perhaps Microsoft is not willing to pay the price for the licence to Apple, some information I am not privy to. The point being that I too had issues with prores before installing Quicktime. I began by installing the free Quicktime player being careful not to install ITunes.

Well if the intent is to procure employment as a freelance editor, then one needs to be proficient in all NLE editors. That is if the intent if to go to existing production houses. This would include Vegas, Grass Valley Edius, Open Shot, Lightwave and even Resolve. But knowing how to use the tool at hand does not replace the feeling of timing and pacing. The act of cutting is easy, pick a tool, any tool will do. Know when to cut what to cut when to place in or take out. When to withhold or show information to the viewer, that is the art of editing. If you have the sense of timing then you can dictate the tools you use. What those who follow you feel is the correct tool is entirely up to them.

Hi, I have been editing prores hq 422 and dnxhd 422 both 10 bit from atomos recorders in vegas Pro for some time and even now I’m editing 4k from a Samurai recorder on an older 6 core AMD chip. It’s far from the lightning fast but it works. And yes DNG or CDNG from Magic Lantern natively in Vegas Pro. Download and install BlackMagic Design Desktop Video you will have to do a search for it at the site. This will install a BMD codec that reads prores and DNXHD

As for Cdng you will need to install Adobe DNG Codec 2.0

Although Vegas will open dng files after install of the Adobe DNG Codec, it is cpu intensive to edit raw files on a timeline unless you have a really super machine.
Any questions, feel free to ask.

Ok so in that case, I have more success in importing Final Cut xml into Vegas but as I mentioned before, bringing anything across other than basic cuts is problematic. Even the multi host BorisFX does not come accross from different NLE, in my experience anyway. And as John Rofrano pointed out the softwares are generations apart and likely are not compatible. Unless Premier can export the makers in a language that Vegas can understand, it is unlikely that the transfer would be successful. You might try exporting the maker timeline without the audio video files from Premier and see if the markers come across. Vegas can read the beat mapper from Sony Acid. Unfortunately the Beatmapper is not included in the free version Acid XPress but at $59.95 ACID Music Studio does. Vasst Ultimate S, co written by Jon Rofrano, correct me if I’m wrong. Loads and saves marker in Vegas. Now all that is needed is to get the maker info out of Premier but I can offer no assistance in that task because Adobe and I parted ways when Adobe chose to go the ransomware rout.

HI,
The project sharing function / script is not at all infallible. It allows for very basic cutting to be successful. No effects either audio or video will be transferred and the audio does need to be straight ahead. A solution might be to export several versions such as Final cut for Davinci or Avid. I have had success with those in Premier. It is strange though for in my case there is no issue with importing into Premier or After Effects.
A thought occurs, is the video / audio file compatible with Premier? Is the file supported natively in Premier? So try importing the raw file into Premier.

Well Nick perhaps this is dumb question, Do your files live on the same drive as your OS? I mean I have an old AMD Phenom Hex Core and edit cinema 4k 10 Bit 422 mov files. I won’t tell you that it cuts like a hot knife through butter but it is workable and not near as horrific as others tell me but my media is on a different drive from my os and temp files.

You could of course download the trial of Vegas Pro. See if it helps the issue and determine if the software is the root of the problem, At least If you work fast you can finish the project before the demo runs out.
