Making Stock Clips Work
So I’m trying to use these stock clips and I’ve fiddled with the file trying to keep it from stuttering on playback but no luck.
The project is;
- 720 x 480
- 29.970FPS
- Square Pixel
The clip is;
- 1920 x 1080
- 30FPS
- Square
As I mentioned I’ve changed settings etc. but no joy. I’m sure it’s something simple.
Thanks in advance,
Ken
Another unscheduled off-world activation…

Ken?
1] What version of Vegas?
2] First off try using Match Media icon in Project settings.
3] Stock footage? From where? What CODEC?
You’ve got some variables that need to be ascertained prior to setting project settings.

Grazie,
Thanks for the reply. To answer;
- Vegas Pro 64 Bit Build 521
- From: https://www.videoblocks.com
- I need to know how I can find out which codec is used.
I will try the “Match Media” setting now.
Thanks again,
Ken
ADD: No joy on the “Match Media” setting. And it’s a .mov file, forgot that first time around.

No worries.
Preview may be rough. I beieve you need to have QT installed on the PC. Try rendering out a small bit.
OK, mixed media projects are tough on processing to Preview. I’d contemplate converting/rendering-out to your Project settings PRIOR to a full edit.
Cheers

I have another .mov clip from a different source (Footage Firm) in the project and it plays fine, smooth all the way. I’ve never used Media Match before and I checked the help file so I assume you must select a known file without issues and match it. This is what I did with the aforementioned .mov that works and I saw no change. I’m going to render now and see if there is a difference.

Well I learned a lesson here, not about Vegas but about “assumptions”. I assumed that because the other .mov clip played smoothly in the project, the one in question should also….WRONG!
After rendering the file plays as smoothly as I could ask for.
Thanks for the input and the lesson Grazie.
