Has anyone used Raylight with Vegas? I'm looking at the HVX200 camera and am considering a switch to FCP, but I *really* don't want to leave Vegas if I don't have to. Considerations are speed and ease of use. Any thoughts are appreciated!

Do not hesitate one more second. Go buy Raylight, Install it and work seamlessly with your P2 footage. I am in the process of writing a review of this plugin but for a sneak peak at what I'm going to say, read my first sentence. I can't say for sure, but if Sony is paying even the least bit of attention, they should be incorporating RAYLIGHT into the next iteration of VEGAS.
Raylight isn't just GOOD, it's AMAZING! Try saying "SEAMLESS"

I've used it with FCP and it saved me two days of work not having to import footage into FCP in order to export mp3s for transcriptions and timecode burns.

I use Raylight with Vegas 7e.
It allows you to drag a P2 DVCpro MXF file directly to the Vegas timeline. Without RayLight you would have to first convert all your P2 mxf files to avi. Raylight will do that too but I prefer to drag the raw mxf to the Vegas timeline. Yoy couls alos opt for HD Rack HD and that will allow the p2 mxf files to be converted during the actual capture to your PC's hard drive.

true, but Raylight is far less convoluted and virtually instantaneous. It's invisible to the user except for the fact that all your mxf files become instantly editable. I can't imagine working with P2 without Raylight.
