Vegas, Excalibur, Canon XF300 & XA10
I shoot stage events and use 4 cameras for almost all events. Currently using Canon XA10s. Great camera except for the 10X zoom. In some venues it is not long enough. I am considering the Canon XF300 to replace one of the XA10s. Several questions:
(1) The XF300 records to CF cards: are there any issues transferring the footage to Vegas Pro 10 or12? (2) Lighting is usually not an issue, but will I need to color correct these 2 different cameras footage? (3) Will Excalibur MultiCam work well with MXF (XF300) and AVCHD (XA10) footage? (4) Anybody using the same combination with any tips or warnings? I also wanted to highly recommend PluralEyes syncing software. I use 3 or 4 Zoom H1s to capture audio at my events, and PluralEyes has saved me hours and hours of time in the edit bay...works great with Vegas. Thanks for your help. Jerry |

3) There will not be any issue with Excalibur. Excalibur just adds markers and cuts the events. Vegas does the playback.

Re: Vegas, Excalibur, Canon XF300 & XA10
Jerry?
You're probably already aware but Canon's new cams HFG30 XA20 & XA25 are upgrades from the XA10...well, 20 & 25 are - the 30 is upgrade from the HFG10/20. Anyway they all have 20x zooms and if you're using Zooms for audio skip the XA20/25 and go with the HFG30...unless money isn't an issue. :) ian |
