Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Problem with an introduction for my video

  • Problem with an introduction for my video

    Posted by Jake Loggie on May 25, 2015 at 3:25 pm

    Hello there, I am a You tuber that has just recorded my first video. Its all edited up to a high standard but when i go to put my intro in (using sony Vegas pro 13) it gives me the error ‘File C:\Users\Mr Jake\Desktop\Intro.avi could not be opened.’ Why would this be? I have looked online and cant seem to find a similar problem. If anybody can fix this problem for it would be most appreciated.

    How are you trying to put this file into your project? Are you using “File -> Import -> Media”, “File -> Open”, or some other command in Vegas?

    I’m doing it with File > Import > Media > Intro

    What did you use to convert the Intro, and what was changed by your conversion? What file format did you convert it to?

    If we just forget the conversion because the problem occurred before it was converted. When i was sent the file it was an mp4, after trying to input it it came up with the error i posted earlier.

    I noticed dvdvideosoft in the comment line. My success in importing videos that utility produces ranges from slim to none 🙁
    You said that you got it from someone. If at all possible, have them send you the original file and not a converted one.
