AVIs won’t load in 8.1 but will in 8.0c
Hi all,
I searched but didn’t find:
When I load an old project into 8.1 I get the expected “can’t find Wave Hammer” error but everything else seems to load fine; however the AVIs on the timeline are red in color and nothing shows up in the preview…any ideas why?
TIA,

What codec do the files use? Vegas Pro 8.1 can only use 64-bit 3rd party codecs so if you only have the 32-bit version of the codec, it would explain why it plays in 8.0c and not 8.1.

Sorry for the bother but it’s somehow fixed…..I noticed on a track above there were working avis so I dragged the red ones to that track and all seems fine….still curious though if anyone knows what happened.
Thanks,

Did you open Vegas Pro 8.0c in the mean time? I have noticed that after a reboot, if I open 8.1 it can’t read any of my HDV media. If I open 8.0c first then 8.1, it can read them just fine.

I had 8.0c open just prior to opening 8.1 (without a reboot)
When you say “it can’t read” do you mean it can’t find them when trying to open or nothing plays in the preview?
I should mention, in all fairness to Vegas, this may all be due to a bad OS hard drive issue (have another on the way) because I have several programs that just lock up and won’t respond… although this hasn’t happened in a few days V8.1 just did it.
I should probably wait until I get the new HD installed before I do any more whining and just try to make 8C work until then.
Thanks JR,

If I drag and drop an HD file on the timeline (either HDV or AVCHD) Vegas complains that it’s an unsupported format.

Oh I see…well like I say once I drug the clips to another track they turned from red to normal.
It’s probably an isolated deal and should not be an issue after I get the new hard drive (tomorrow).
Thanks for your time JR,
