I agree with you not agreeing. If you're going to the trouble to convert for editing, the output should be an editor-friendly format. I no longer have a Phantom drone and this isn't an issue shooting Prores on my Inspire 2 and editing in Final Cut Pro X.
However, I would like to know what editor-friendly format that Vegas Pro likes the best (i.e. which format is the smoothest for editing) and convert the H.265 files to that format. Prores is great for editing and has great quality but archiving those huge files is costly. For most of my needs I could just convert H.265 for editing then delete the converted files when done. That way I would just be archiving the original H.265 files.
As I said earlier, I use Quicktime Uncompressed YUV 422 10 bit. It converts into huge files, but as it is nothing more than an intermadiary, I erase them after I finish the project.
Conversion of anything should in theory introduce distorions, but the above format does limit the damage and it means you have a good quality base to convert to another output format. |
