I thought that would be quite a challenge but not so at all.
Save As AAF out of Vegas, import in AE, scratch balding head for a while and hey presto, Vegas tracks become layers, neato. Wrangle incorrectly flagged 16:9 files, tad harder to get right in AE than Vegas but not that difficult.
Rendered out of AE but first go no alpha in Vegas. Discover default renderer in AE doesn't have alpha channel, fix that, fix media in Vegas (it never seems to see alpha channels) and presto. All works as it should. I could even have V8 and AE open at the same time.
I take my hat off to SCS and Adobe, cats and dogs can live together.
Now the only fly in the ointment is that when you Save As AAF you save the whole project so what you open in AE is the whole project from Vegas. Probably way more than you might want. Would be nice if just say the Looped Region could be saved as an AAF.
On a larger scale seems to me this kind of functionality really enchances Vegas. AE will read and render just about anything. Piece of cake I would think to render a set of DV proxies out of AE, edit that in Vegas (OK maybe cuts only), take that into AE and do a final grade etc in there and render out whatever from AE.
When I have some more time I'll play / test this some more.
I know, I know. All of the above should work and in reality I should only be posting this if it didn't work as it should but after all the dramas I've had with EDLs and the general doom and gloom around here of late a bit of good news wouldn't go astray.
