hello all...

I have a client that wants to shoot on a Panasonic HVX-200 P2 camera...and the questions is:

Will the video download to Sony Vegas (I think he has ver8) via firewire from the camera and the P2 cards? wil,l he need to convert the video clips and will Vegas
see the clips....I am a cameraman, not a editor, so this is all new to me.

thanks

I do a bit of both. Last year, I shot the HVX200 for project, and I recall that the clips needed to be converted to use in Vegas. In my case, I converted to Cineform. I remember Raylight was being used by some: DVFilm Raylight Codec for DVCPROHD (http://dvfilm.com/raylight/raylightTutorial8.htm)

Vegas 9 is supposed to support EX1 and 3 mfx files, but I see no reference to HVX200.
