You will need something like this.

You forgot to add the link, marks27.

Vegas doesn't include a codec to handle it, and Panasonic has never just given codecs away freely so you usually have to purchase something. Raylight is what people seem to use most for P2 footage.

my apologies, indeed I did.

I meant to include: http://dvfilm.com/raylight/index.htm

Hopefully I got that right. Otherwise, search for raylight; should pop up quickly.

Ciao,

Cineform NEO for Vegas will do the trick too.

Raylight is ok, but Vegas can't seem to figure out how to preview Pan/Cropped MXF files which essentially makes Raylight semi-worthless. I don't want to waste time rendering to intermediate AVI's, that's what P2 was supposed to fix.

dirtynbl,
http://dvfilm.com/cgi-bin/board/main.cgi?board=rayvegas;action=display;num=1177959007

does the trick.

Also, raylight ultra is around the corner, sometime soon I hope, and I think its supposed to fix this and an audio bug, as well as give us all four channels on the timeline and access to metadata.
Can't wait!!
