From Sony:

"New! Open and edit RED ONE™ files on the timeline"

The very idea gives me chills.

at the NAB Vegas party, I had r3d files playing on the timeline in front of the room.

Nice. Thanks, Spot.

What kind of system is required for playback of the files? And I'm curious, with the new focus on AMD products, whether there might be a recommended system configuration for the new version of Vegas?

Very excited to get my hands on the new Vegas....

Hey Spot,

Tantalizing.

What spec was the machine? I7?

Too bad I don't have enough Green to see RED (Scarlet).

And were they proxies of some sort or the actual 4K r3d files?

Were the Vegas project properties 4K or 2K or 1080P?

native .r3d files at project settings anywhere from SD widescreen to 4K project sizes I've seen playback direct off the timeline w/o a hitch (no fx) on a quad core.

The machine I used at the party was a Dell 6400 with 8GB Ram, eSata drives. It can't sustain 24p for long periods, but if you allow for files to be spread out so they buffer better, it works better.
Very impressve, for an off-the-shelf laptop, eh?
