  RE: Audio hardware you use.

  RE: Working with CinemaDNG and ProRes 4K files
  You can handle CinemaDNG files using Blackmagic's Resolve, available as a free download. It is also the best colour correction program around, so you can kill two birds with the one stone.

  RE: Working with CinemaDNG and ProRes 4K files
  CinemaDNG -> NO. ProRes in MOV files -> Yes. You need Quicktime installed. Due to how Vegas interfaces with Quicktime you will have a limit of about ProRes 50 files open in a project. You will know when step beyond the limit. Vegas will

  RE: push the envelope, bleed on the edge.
  In BlackMagic Design and AJA products - you do have hardware passing 10bit precision - but not creating it. It's likely that with a good monitor you are able to see some improvement over not using this preference setting. This means the hardware is

  RE: push the envelope, bleed on the edge.
  color depth = 8 bits per channel - x 3 = 24 bits of display on a typical monitor. In fact the video card can display your transparency files which carry the xtra 8 bits in that alpha channel. This is a typical monitor that 99% of us all

  RE: push the envelope, bleed on the edge.
  You can be using 10bit YUV for digital intermediates - but the question for you does it maintain any real increased precision over the source. The answer would be no for an 8bit source - but then a 10bit source - what about that? Well, absence any

  RE: push the envelope, bleed on the edge.
  Rendering Cineform as an output codec (for digital intermediate - its not a distributed file type) will give you essentially a 9bit result out of Vegas - Of course people call it 10bit - but it is not quite true in Vegas case. To get around the

  RE: push the envelope, bleed on the edge.
  Just like I said, all processing of Vegas timeline will utlimately net 8 bit. You can shove in more, you can manipulate more in some digital intermediates and 32bit activity - but your outcome always in the distribution/preview is utimately 8bit.
