Going one better: RED editing and Vegas 9
There's a substantial history of camera technology being released to
the public before the technology of post-production has caught up. HDV
springs as an obvious example where the long-GOP structure was
fantastically efficient for image acquisition and recording but
presented considerable issues for non-linear editing systems
traditionally reliant on individual frames and not groups-of-pictures.
AVCHD presents the same issue where shooting is easy but timeline
performance is less than stellar. And Sony's XDCAMEX is a great balance
of quality and efficiency but it's wrapping in an Mp4 format initially
gave many NLE's considerable trouble.
And of course at the top
of this heap is the RED ONE camera. No doubt a paradigm shift in
digital cinema - 4k resolution, RAW metadata and all kinds of digital
flexibility and power - but wrestling with a brand new format, uncommon
resolutions (particularly the RED unique 3k) the new headspace of RAW
workflow and tapeless ingest, has made post-production of RED far from
simple. All the major NLE developers have moved to accommodate the
RED's unique format but to date few filmmakers would attest that any of
the available editing options are as good as they could or should be.

Fabulous article about Vegas Pro 9 and RED editing! (And no, I won't spam you about shoes.)
I'm going to be trying my hand at RED editing with Vegas Pro 9 in the coming weeks.
