I believe Vegas already supports it. Vegas is very much format independant and will work with almost anything you load into it.

Panasonic engineering has a copy of Vegas 3 and they claim you can capture, edit, render, and print back to 24p DV with the cameras. We have not tested with this camera type at SF.

If anybody has one of these 24p cameras, or has access to one, please post results on this forum-

I assume you have to set the NTSC DV template to 24 frames progressive to work with AVI files coming from the camera ?

If there was a 24p DV format, that's what you'd do.

Unfortunately, there isn't one.

From what we know so far, these cameras capture in 24p, do 2:3 pulldown, and record 30i. So, Vegas, and any other NLE, sees the video as regular old interlaced DV.

With no software updates, on a regular NLE, you can edit this video in 30i and print it back to tape.

When played on an interlaced monitor, it will look just like telecinced film (well, ignoring the color and dynamic range issues, I'm just talking about the presentation of frames).

When played through a "film mode" line doubler, it will get converted back into 24p and displayed as such.

And...

if you're going to use a mix of these 24p cameras with regular 30i cameras, check out Dr. Dropout's "intercutting film and video" tutorial. It will help you keep a consistent 24p (telecined to video) look throughout your project.

I'm surprised more people didn't buy 25p progressive PAL cameras to get the same effect. Vegas would take those files just as well as anything.
