Official quote on Canon HDSLR and Vegas Pro 10

"Another change we've made addresses playback of footage from your Canon HDSLR specifically. Our engineers have worked a little magic to develop a much more efficient method of decoding these files than was used in previous versions of Vegas Pro software. I won't pretend to understand the details of that new method, but the details don't matter anyway. All that matters is that the results are nothing short of spectacular. In Vegas Pro 10 you'll experience close to full-framerate playback on most modern computers at all Preview and Draft settings. Now you can really dig in and do some serious editing with the footage from these cameras!"

Ivan,

I was going to post exactly tha tand ask you if you had downloaded a trial to see how it worked with your Canon. Have you tried that?

Eugenia posted on her blog site some comparisons of the performance against Vegas Pro 9, and made mention of the component which has been added to Vegas Pro to provide this improvement.

It turns out that Vegas Movie Studio HD 10 already has this component, but an older version. I am hoping that there will be a patch to Studio to bring the performance up to the same level as Pro 10 shortly.

My sad guess is it won't happen, not until VMS11. VMS is always one count behind, not in numbers of course, but in features. So we'll just have to wait another 8 months at least...

Not so sure about that. VMS 10 had a whole raft of features not in Vegas 9. My guess is that this will be in the first patch, but we'll have to wait and see.
