RAYLIGHT is an HD codec for Windows that is compatible with the Panasonic HVX200 camera. It will work with any application that supports VfW (Video for Windows) such as Premiere, After Effects, or Vegas, and allows native, real-time editing of DVCPRO-HD DVCPRO50, DV and other formats, even with an inexpensive computer and older editing software.
Plug-ins for both Adobe PremiereTM and Sony VegasTM to allow you to drag MXF files directly into the project!
RAYLIGHT also comes with a simple application called RayMaker which converts MXF files from the camera's P2 card into Raylight AVI.
Raylight can also author a P2 card for playback of your finished movie on the camera, with P2 Maker.
