Why Sony Vegas can not read XDCAM files? Follow this tutorial to convert Sony XDCAM files to MPEG-2 for Vegas Pro to achieve your goal smoothly.

It should come as no surprise that Sony Vegas Pro supports all versions of XDCAM(XDCAM HD, XDCAM EX, XDCAM HD422) natively. However, users still encounter some problems during importing Sony XDCAM to Sony Vegas Pro for further editing:

“I have a client who gave me an XDCAM EX .mp4 file to add to his project, but Vegas Pro 12 doesn't like it.”

To bypass all issues while editing Sony XDCAM videos in Sony Vegas, first please make sure you copy all the files in the media card folder to your source footage drive, keeping the folder name and structure intact. If it still doesn’t work, the easy workaround for you is to encode Sony XDCAM MXF/MP4 to Sony Vegas most compatible MPEG-2 format so that Sony Vegas Pro can afford the videos directly without any issue.

To achieve the goal, the program Brorsoft Video Converter can give you some help. Well, this XDCAM Converter allows you to convert Sony XDCAM to MPEG-2 for Vegas Pro 13/12/11/10 with zero quality loss. Plus, it also supports transcoding Sony XDCAM, XDCAM HD, XDCAM EX to DNxHD for Avid Media Composer, MPEG-2 for Adobe Premiere Pro/After Effects, WMV for Windows Movie Maker. Below is how.
