Video clip only imports as silent audio?
A really weird thing is happening to me. I rendered out a video using FFDSHOW – HUFFYUV compression. It plays fine with both video and audio in my media player, but when I try to import it into Vegas, it only imports as an audio file, a silent audio file at that. It’s like Vegas can’t see the video portion or something. Does anybody know a reason why this might be happening?

Might be worth checking which version of Quicktime you have installed. I had a similar problem after upgrading to Quicktime 7.7.4 When I rolled back to QT 7.5 the problem was fixed.

The format then is not compatible with vegas, render the
content out in another format like avi or something and you
should be ok.Steve Rhoden

Yea, render the audio as PCM and it should import fine.

Well I just switched the codec over to FF1V, re-rendered it, and then it imported fine.
Still it’s weird that this happened at all. The audio was rendered in PCM, and the whole clip that I was trying to import was rendered out from Vegas in the first place. Seems odd that Vegas could render out something that it couldn’t re-import, but I guess that may be possible.
There does seem to be something weird about my quicktime setup. When I go to the official apple page to download the newest version, it won’t work. The dialog window comes up where it asks you where you want to save the file, and it all seems to work fine, but then after the file downloads, I can’t find it. I told it to save the file to my desktop, and it seemed like it was doing that just fine. I go into my downloads on Firefox, and yes, the file seems to have downloaded, but then I check my desktop for the file, and it isn’t there. I had to find an older version of quicktime (7.0 I think) just to get quicktime to install at all. Anybody else have this problem?
And why would it make a difference if I’m not using any kind of quicktime or mpg4 codec in the first place? Why would the FFDSHOW FF1V codec import back in fine, but not the FFDSHOW HUFFYUV codec? Just all seems so strange.

I’ve seen problems with Vegas Pro 64-bit and HUFFYUV. Try using Lagarith and see if that works better.
