Some guys I've been doing a bit of work for just bought a Red camera. The first test was a music video shoot the other night. My job was dumping the footage from two CF cards onto an external hard drive whilst checking the footage. The clips looked very impressive! There's one Red Code file that contains the actual video, and four proxies that go with it at different sizes, all Quicktime. All the proxies are only 20kb or so in size, very small. The director of the video will be editing in FCP (he has no idea ;-)), but I was just curious if Red clips could be edited in Vegas, providing the codec could be recognised? If so I'd assume it would only be at 8 bit?
But yeah, what a nice camera.. If I had a spare $20K, I'd definitely consider placing an order, but only if I knew there was compatibility with Vegas.
