  Sony Vegas wont let me import a 1080p mp4 video but a 720p video is fine?

  I have tried converting it to .avi, reinstalling quicktime and finding a different file, but nothing is working.

  As for it being to do with the file size, the problem was with much smaller files too.

  A very unhelpful error message is given upon putting the file in. (Just the generic “File ____ could not be opened”

  Hi Abi

  Is your 1080 file and your 720 file the exact same thing ?

  You have to remember that an MP4 is just a container, just like a box. What’s inside can be different from one file to the other .

  Hers’s a technical read about that = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-4

  Cheers !
