This document provides three options for editing Panasonic GH5 10-bit footage in video editing software:
1. Adjust the luminance level settings to avoid import problems when editing directly in software.
2. Transcode to ProRes on a Mac for easier editing in software.
3. Use a free tool to remux 10-bit MP4 or MOV files to the MXF format for compatibility with Vegas Pro editing software without reencoding or quality loss. The tool requires downloading and setting up FFmpeg on Windows.

OPTION ONE
This appears to be related to luminance settings (thanks to JustinJohnson @ Eoshd). For all 10bit recording (except Vlog-L) you can avoid the import problem if you set:
Movie/page2 Luminance Level change from 0-1023 to 64-940.
This will not work with Vlog-L or footage already captured. In that case use the following tool which can take the mov or mp4 files and rewraps them into a mxf container.
OPTION TWO
If youre using a Mac then you probably want to transcode to Prorez anyway. Best option: http://www.divergentmedia.com/editready
OPTION THREE

Here is a tool to make GH5 422 10bits files readable in Vegas. There is no reencoding, and no quality loss that I can determine.
1. You must download ffmpeg . I would advise to use the last release version (version 3.2.4) even though it will work with beta builds.
2. Save ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe to C:\ffmpeg (create the folder if it doesn't exist) and add this folder to your environment variable (explanation here ). Ffprobe is hiding in a subdirectory. So should probably add c:\ffmpeg\bin to the environment variables as well.
4. Copy both cmd files in the folder containing the files you want to convert.
5. Double click mp42mxf.cmd if you want to convert mp4 files or mov2mxf.cmd if you want to convert mov files.
6. The converted files will have the same name as the original one with a mxf extension.
Limitation:
All the mp4 or mov files in the folder will be converted. Make sure that only the files you want to convert are there.
Right now, only stereo audio is supported.
Timeline playback might be slow on some computer. I can't do anything for that. Setting the path and variables in Windows 8 and Windows 10
1. From the Desktop, right-click the very bottom left corner of the screen to get the Power User Task Menu.
2. From the Power User Task Menu, click System.
3. Click the Advanced System Settings link in the left column.
4. In the System Properties window, click on the Advanced tab, then click the Environment Variables button near the bottom of that tab.
5. In the Environment Variables window (pictured below), highlight the Path variable in the "System variables" section and click the Edit button. Add or modify the path lines with the paths you want the computer to access. Each different directory is separated with a semicolon as shown below.
C:\Program Files;C:\Winnt;C:\Winnt\System32
Note: You can edit other environment variables by highlighting the variable in the "System variables" section and clicking Edit. If you need to create a new environment variable, click New and enter the variable name and variable value.
To view and set the path in the Windows command line, use the path command.
