Using Quicktime Uncompressed Files from a Blackmagic HyperDeck Shuttle

VideoTech wrote on 12/9/2025, 4:25 PM

I'm interested in using a Blackmagic HyperDeck Shuttle 2 Recorder to capture the SDI from my time base corrector into Vegas Pro 23. It captures uncompressed files in Quicktime. Anyone using this recorder or any of Blackmagic's other recorders to do this? It seems they all capture uncompressed in Quicktime and I'm not sure how well Vegas Pro 23 will work with these files and I don't want to have to render again to use them. I want to do minor editing and then be able to render the timeline out as AVI to render to MPEG2. It's possible I could render to MPEG2 maybe using Vegas. Would have to try that. My other option would be to install a Blackmagic PCIe Mini Recorder card into the PC, if anyone has any experience in doing that. It will capture SDI as AVI files which is what I have always done on an older system that captured from SD component. Any info much appreciated.

There should be no issues accepting and rendering the file. I assume you're rendering to mpeg 2 for DVD purposes? VEGAS can do that, but if not, I'd recommend a more efficient codec like H264 or HEVC.You can test this by downloading the trial version of VEGAS Pro 23.
