Video Not Showing Up In Timeline.
When i import this .mp4 clip only the audio shows up. No video track is even created. The clip plays fine in WMP or VLC. The clip is recorded with Elgato Game Capture and I have never had this problem before. I am using Sony Vegas 12 build 770.

It may be something about the way the file is written that Vegas Pro doesn’t like. You might try using a tool like AviDemux to copy the streams to a new file.

You said you never had this problem before. Does that mean it usually
opens videos captured from Elgato Game Capture with no problem?If not, keep in mind that not all mp4 captured from different sources
are the same and you need a converter at times (as John recommended)

Yes Vegas usually opens recorded files from Elgato Game Cap fine. This has been my first problem with it and Vegas. I dont really want to convert the video because it is almost 2gbs. But if that is the only way to fix it, i will.

You updated anything on your system recently?

Nope. I just recorded a video after recording the one i cant edit, and its fine.

The screen shot John showed you does not convert the Video. It simply remuxes the video into a new file. The video and audio data is copied, as is, into a new fresh file container with fresh meta data.
If there is a problem in the file meta data of that particular file, this would fix that problem.

Ohhhh sorry im stupid. I read it wrong i will try that and see if it works.

When using the output format as “MP4 Muxer,” it wont even work. It says the video is too short and only does a few seconds of it. So I had to use the “MP4v2” one and I had the same problem with that. Should I just use the “video only” and use the audio from the original clip?

You can try that but it sounds like the file format wasn’t he problem. I’m not sure why one file would not work and others will unless that file is corrupt in some way. You may have to re-encode it.

Ok. Trying “video only” wouldn’t even work. So i converted it to .wmv and now it works fine in Sony Vegas. I dont know why that happened.
