Hi Steve,
My use of this camera is for training shots underwater of GUE Fundamentals type issues, and some tech dives. If I really need sophisticated effects, I can use Sandra's Canon 5d mark2 with the lens that is most optimal.
I have a Sony PD170 I used to shoot a lot of topside video with, and edit with Vegas Video....but the version of Vegas ( 5) is not going to handle the 1080p.
I just put the trial of Adobe Premeire on Sandra's Imac, and it edits and runs the 1080p great...unfortunately, premiere works in a very non-intuitive manner, compared to Vegas...I will just have to learn it I guess.
Did you download the FREE trial of vegas 10 yet? If you already know vegas, then 10 would get you in the fast lane immediatly, and It is designed to drag and drop those codecs right into the timelime.
I wish I could afford the software/hardware sharksdeilght is getting and using. ...but since I learned in the vegas style of editing , the others seem a bit clunky to me anyway. You Definately have some more power with After Effects, but If you had to - you could use it with vegas as well.....just not as efficiently as with CS5.
