    PLEASE HELP! I cannot edit Apple ProRes 422HQ files in Vegas The Sony website says Vegas supports ProRes 422 as long as you have the Quicktime codec installed. Previous posts indicate others are editing ProRes files in Vegas with no trouble. I have the latest version of the QT codec installed yet I keep getting error messages! What am I doing wrong? Is there another plug-in needed to perform this function?

    You might want to try an older version. I have QuickTime player 7.6.8 installed on my home and work machines and can import and play ProRes 422HQ files with no problems at all.

    Upon import, I get an error message that says Vegas doesn’t recognize it as a supported format or the file may be corrupt. The files were recorded using a Panasonic HPX500 via HDSDI on a Black Magic shuttle. Could the fact that there are (4) channels of audio be an issue? Out of a dozen or so files, only a couple will import. However, the video stutters and the (4) tracks of audio have been combined into one mono track duplicated (16) times. Yikes!

    Thanks for the response! I have tried several previous versions with no success. I currently have version 7.7.4 installed. I switched from FCP to Vegas in 2004 and have NEVER looked back. I guess I must establish a new work flow as many of my clients are now giving me ProRes 422 files recorded on AJA KiPro or Black Magic units. I wonder if Cineform could be an option?
