    Vegas Pro 9.0 Pro is notorious for having the “import freeze” issue. You can either update it or go about the method seen in this video:

    but that is not my problem. when i drag a .avi video into the timeline it simply does not work. a “forbidden” icon appears and i can do nothing with it …

    and i tried this with pro 8 , pro 9 , pro 10 and movie studio premium 😐

    Did you render the video or did someone else?
    If it was someone else, what does MediaInfo (a free download) say about the codec used?

    Try Streamclip (free) and convert it to something Vegas will see.

    I don’t have Streamclip in front of me now but I’m sure there’s a lossless format to render to that’ll work in vegas.
