SURVEY: What camera and codec are you using?

NickHope wrote on 1/24/2011, 10:24 PM

Recently I find myself recommending things that Vegas can do without ever having tried them myself (because my camera is pretty old). So I thought I'd ask what everyone here is actually typically doing.

I'm particularly interested in what codec you vidSLR and AVCHD shooters are actually editing with in practice (e.g. native AVCHD, Cineform, Sony MXF, DNxHD, proxies etc.).

For "Happy with editing responsiveness?" please keep it brief. I'm thinking of smoothness of preview etc..

Please follow my format and let me know if I've left anything critical out.

OK, I'll start...

Camera: Sony Z1P
Typical Resolution/Framerate: 1080-60i
Computer: Dell Precision M6300
OS: Windows XP 32-bit
CPU: Core 2 Duo T7800
RAM: 4GB
Capture Method: HDVSplit
Vegas Pro Version: 32-bit 10.0c
Editing Codec: Native HDV
Happy with editing responsiveness?: Yes
