Re: x70 XAVC-L codec and Vegas Pro 13 news
yeah I am with Paul here. I had the feeling that the xavc-l was a bluff right from the start, and now I have this other feeling that it will never work , not with vegas and not with FCP.. and I also remember that when I said that I wasn't even sure that the xavc-l was real .. well... looks like it's not (real). the mystery of this X70... never had the pleasure to see 4:2:2 50mbps (for real). it DOES look exactly like the "regular" avchd . so be it.

Re: x70 XAVC-L codec and Vegas Pro 13 news
So did you test ingesting XAVC-L on the new VP13 timeline? Asking cause the Readme only mentions added render-out template for this format...

Re: x70 XAVC-L codec and Vegas Pro 13 news
OK - just loaded a HD XAVC-L clip off the X70 without probs. Has anyone tried a 4k XAVC-L version?

Re: x70 XAVC-L codec and Vegas Pro 13 news
Yes both HD and 4k xavc-L I placed on the timeline. Works. HD is very smooth no problems. 4k is too processor heavy for my current setup. I was getting 2fps playback 4k in the draft preview. Need to upgrade my PC :/

Re: x70 XAVC-L codec and Vegas Pro 13 news
There is a new (March 24th) CatBrowse now.....maybe they fixed the batch transcode levels issue.

Re: x70 XAVC-L codec and Vegas Pro 13 news
Well it's here everyone, or so we hoped. Vegas 13 XAVC-L support for the X-70 and other XAVC-L cameras. Vegas 13 build 444 can be downloaded here:
Sony Creative Software - Download: Vegas Pro 13 I am having an issue with it right now as I have just tested it with various XAVC-L 50-mbit 50P files. It WILL IMPORT XAVC-L files from the Sony PXW-X200 but IT WILL NOT IMPORT XAVC-L files from the PXW-X70. At least that's my experience today. If anyone else can confirm this ASAP I would love to here back. I have contacted Sony SCS and have sent them files and media file breakdowns on the differences in the file structures of the two cameras in question. I've only just done this so no response as yet. The ONLY difference I can in the file structures between the two XAVC-L 422 50-mbit 50P files from the two different cameras is in the file 'Transfer characteristic' readouts. See below: Sony PXW-X200 Color primaries : BT.709 Transfer characteristics : BT.709 Matrix coefficients : BT.709 Sony PXW-X70 Color primaries : BT.709 Transfer characteristics : IEC 61966-2-4 ?????? What's with this? Matrix coefficients : BT.709 Why the difference in the PXW-X70 having IEC 61966-2-4 characteristics as opposed to the PXW-200 and the other XAVC-L cameras which all show BT.709 as the transfer characteristic? Either Vegas needs more work on this XAVC-L codec to bring the X70 into the fold or the X-70 needs a firmware upgrade to bring it in line with the other XAVC-L cameras that all show BT.709 as their 'Transfer characteristic' as opposed to this IEC 61966-2-4 that shows up on the X-70. If I hear anything I will update the post. Chris Young CYV Productions Sydney |

Re: x70 XAVC-L codec and Vegas Pro 13 news
I wonder if that transfer thing is why there are incorrect levels when bulk transcoding X70 footage through ConBrowse.

Re: x70 XAVC-L codec and Vegas Pro 13 news
This will make the post longish but here are the file specs in full and yes you read correctly when I said PXW-X200. The interesting thing is the Codec IDs are exactly the same so by rights I should be able to import the X70 files. As I say no problems with the X200. Its XAVC-L files come in no problem??? both camera files show bit depth as 10-bit which is correct. Will try 1080i and 720p just to check!

Re: x70 XAVC-L codec and Vegas Pro 13 news
Figures that I'd be away having to shoot AVCHD when this came out.
Got to wrap a large project so not even going to be able to test this for awhile. |

Re: x70 XAVC-L codec and Vegas Pro 13 news
VP13 444 and the xavc-l of the x70 is still a mystery. I see that Piotr was able to put the mxf into the timeline? how? the only way I see that happening would be to pre-transcode with catalyst because it doesn't work straight from the camera in my world. guys I don't know but I'm about to give up on the mystery of the so-called 50mbps 422 of the X70 now.....

Re: x70 XAVC-L codec and Vegas Pro 13 news
Same issue here. v13 (444) will not load -L files from my x70. they show up in the explorer, but will not move to the timeline. Some on the Vegas site say it works for them. Vegas does now say it will render to-L but that's not much help.

Re: x70 XAVC-L codec and Vegas Pro 13 news
Ricky, John ~
Yes Ricky I see what you mean. What that means I'm not sure. I have got back to Sony SCS and uploaded clips from both the PXW-X200 and the X70 for them and they think they have detected something and reported back that they are looking into the issue. Asked me for the firmware version of the camera in question and exactly what settings were used and how the file import was attempted etc. Just wait and see I guess :( John. Not good news for you but at least your post lends some credence to my claims to SCS that the import of the X70 XAVC-L files is at this point broken not just for me but that there are others experiencing the same problem... sad to say.
