Re: 1st and last time I'm editing ProRes in Vegas for a major project

To be honest I never even tried out ProRes because I didn't think it was possible to get it into Windows let alone a Vegas timeline! Avid's codec is touted as cross-platform so it suited me perfectly. I believe that visually the codecs produce comparable results. |

Re: 1st and last time I'm editing ProRes in Vegas for a major project
I have always used avid dnx in vegas until recently i bought a pix E5 and started to use prores. On my latest project I created subclips in the trimmer and started to work on my project. When it was finished it was always crashing when I tried to render it. Very frustrating.... Tried everything, deleted the reference files, saved as a new project, nothing seemed to work. I had 200+clips in the project and my computer is a 36core 72 threads Multi cpu so processing power wasn't the problem as vegas probably doesn't use half of it :-). I love vegas but I have often wanted to go to another editing system. I think prores in vegas is ok as long as you don't use to many clips. Now with sony putting no more effort in updating, I think we are stuck with vegas as it is. I hope for an update on the pix E5 so I can go back to dnxHD and still use vegas.

It's a shame the E5 doesn't support DNxHD because in all other regards it looks pretty good.

Re: 1st and last time I'm editing ProRes in Vegas for a major project
In my opinion, and it's only opinion, this is less to do with Vegas than it is to do with Apple's QuickTime player for Windows, which is the only licensed way to decode ProRes on PC. It's not very good. Apple would like us all to migrate to the "creative" platform. That's how I connect the dots.
I wonder how ProRes/QT works in Edius? Having said that, this nuance doesn't mean much to someone in Jurgen's situation. Or, in the situation of someone who has to collaborate in a Mac-centric community. Sometimes you gotta' do what you gotta' do.

That suggests that Canopus / Grass Valley are connecting up with QT-Windows better than Sony. I wonder how well ProRes/QT works in Catalyst?

Re: 1st and last time I'm editing ProRes in Vegas for a major project
I've been using Pro Rez with Vegas Pro 12 for a little over a year now. I bought an Atomos Ninja I that only records Pro Rez to get some longevity out of my Sony. I've had no problems. I record in the LT mode because I don't need more than that. The only issue that seems to come up is it looks like the blacks are crushed a little.
