Can you please tell me if Pro or Platinum versions support Panasonic AVCHD video formats yet. I know the Sony version is supported, but do you have Panasonic support yet for editing files?
Someone else asked about this, and the ForumAdmin said:
"Current versions of Vegas Movie Studio PE 8 and Vegas Pro 8 support just about every current variant of AVCHD (- the common types from most mfrs-1440, interlaced)."
Footage from the SD5 open fine in Vegas, as do files from Canon's AVCHD camcorders and Sony AVCHD camcorders.
Files from the SD1 were converted, so I don't have raw footage any longer (We returned it for lack of quality). The files would not open in beta versions of Vegas 8, whereas Canon and Sony would.
What does not work up to now, is native footage from the upcoming AVC 720 50p Samsung SC-HMX10. But that is brand-new.
A first testclip could be imported in Vegas without an issue - but the playback does not work up to now. I assume that Samsung will deliver a converter with the camcorder, what will allow to convert that to a more AVCHD-similar material. But up to now nobody have been able to test that, as far as I know.
