Wanting to get a new camcorder that uses MOV 10 bit

I'm looking at a Panasonic camcorder that records in MOV 4.2.0 & 4.2.2 10 bit.

It also has AVCHD as well but in 8 bit.

I was wondering if VP22 can handle the MOV 10-bit versions.

Is it HEVC? 10 bit media is supported in VEGAS but few GPUs decode 422 so consider staying with 420 for better performance.

Yes, it is HEVC

Not sure if my GPU would or not at this time.

@ChasMc This is a 10bit 420 .mov from an iPhone, if my RTX3090 works ok I'm sure your 4070 would. (I don't have a 422 to test).

Your GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super can only decode 10-bit 420 HEVC.
Your CPU has a Intel UHD Graphics 770 which can decode 10-bit 422 HEVC. I have a similar iGPU but don't find the performance all that great in VEGAS.

My suggestion would be to find sample footage from this camera or a similar one online and test it before you buy the camera (or if in the store they let you shoot a sample onto your SD card do that).

OK, I'll check that out. Thanks.
