    Panasonic P2 Editing with Sony VegasTM

    Real HD - Real Time - RAYLIGHT ULTRA

    Raylight Ultra is an HD codec for Windows XP, Windows Vista,  and Windows 7 that is compatible with the Panasonic HVX200 camera. It will work with any application that supports Video for Windows such as Sony Vegas, After Effects, or Premiere, and allows direct, native, P2 (MXF file) editing in Sony Vegas. It supports real-time editing of DVCPROHD, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO, and DVNote1 even with an inexpensive computer and older editing software.

    The Plug-in for Sony VegasTM allows you to drag P2 MXF files directly into the timeline!

    The Plug-in for Sony VegasTM requires Windows XP (32/64), Vista (32/64), or Windows  7 (32/64) and Sony Vegas 8.0 or 9.0.

    Raylight ULTRA also comes with a simple application called RayMaker which converts MXF files from the camera's P2 card into Raylight AVI (AVIs can be edited with older applications).

    Raylight can also author a P2 card for playback of your finished movie on the camera, with P2 Maker.

    Raylight Ultra can also be used as an intermediate (editing) codec for HDV cameras.
