  Black screen when I add hd-movies

  Posted by Stefan Ljungström on October 20, 2010 at 12:11 pm

  Hi.

  Im new to Sony Vegas and I think it seems like a very good prog.
  I have tested SV-8 on Windows xp.

  However:
  Why does the clips from my camera gets black…I can´t see anything but a black screen, but the sound is fine.
  It is a HD movie made out of my Canon 550D.

  I also have problems to get HD-movies from eg: youtube to work…it crashes so I have to find a more low-res move to work with.

  Any help is highly appreciated
  Thanks
  Stefan Sweden

  My guess is that you updated the version of QuickTime that is on your computer.
  If you don’t need it for iTunes, uninstall it and install 7.6.2 which you can find on the Avid site.

  Hi thanx.

  I have the latest Quicktime 7.6.8 installed.

  If I doubleclick the movies i made with my camera it automatic opens in real player. the same with movies I have download from youtube.

  I cant see anything but a black screen in Sony Vegas.
  Do I need some kind of codec or?

  Is there a reason you installed the newest version of QuickTime?

  “Do I need some kind of codec or?”

  You need to do as I suggested and that is to get rid of the current version of QuickTime and install version 7.6.2 that will work with your version of Vegas.

  Ok thanks.

  No I just happend to have that version of QT installed…probably because of Itunes as u mentioned.
  However…I downloaded the latest version of Sony Vegas trial (10), and will probably buy it, coz everything works fine when I use it.
