Sony Vegas native codecs?

I am trying to send my Color Grader video from Final Cut Pro, I had exported a quick time but he cant see the video in Vegas.

The Quick time for mat info:
Apple HDV 1080i60, 1440 x 1080 (1888 x 1062), Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz

The the question is, what do I send him? I want as little compression as I can manage naturally, so what are the native codecs I should convert in to for him to use?

What about Prores? That should work, right? I mean if he doesn’t have prores he can always download the decoder. The decoder is free. The encoder is not.

Discalimer: I really, really, don’t know what I am talking about. I am not an editor! But hey if you want to know about bee keeping you just let me know. LOL

Dallas, have you tried the free Avid codecs? Should work with any NLE.

Once you download the free prorez codec for windows from Apple, Vegas can read/edit but not output prorez. On the other hand, DNxHD from Avid allows any NLE that can read quicktime format to read/edit/encode. It’s free on both windows and Mac. DNxHD 220 is very similar to ProRez HQ.

I ended up sending crazy high quality H264 files, sounds like I should download that Avid codec, might prove useful on the next project!

But vegas could use prorez footage and oput to a different codec, right? I mean it could read the files just not make a new prorez file, but could use the prorez footage to make a different file when doing the final encoding.

On My Vegas I can render a quick time 7 (*MOV) file so Vegas should read this file as well
