Cant open an MP4 file from a Canon R6
I’m trying to edit in Vegas 13. I’ve never had this problem before, but the camera is a new version and maybe my old Vegas cant recognize it’s file format, even tho it says its an MP4?
Any ideas on what I can do?
Thanks,
Rob

I still use VP13 and it has no problems with MP4 files from my Canon EOS-90D, even in 4K. Try re-coding it with Handbrake.

Hi Rob
I just checked the specs for the R6. I’m confident that your problem lies with the file having a variable bit rate (see pic taken from Canon web site) Vegas doesn’t like variable bit rate. If possible, use constant bit rate when recording. As TOM mentioned, re-coding the file with a constant bit rate should do the trick.

Hi Rob
Ignore my previous post. It’s the variable FRAME rate that Vegas doesn’t like. Sorry mate. ( I think my cold medicine is finally having an effect…)

Thank you, Tom and Francois. It seemed to be the 29.97 fps that choked my ol’Vegas 13. 24.9whatever is going down better.
Now for the next issue: When palying back footage from the camera in Vegas and in Windows, when using the in camera IBIS, very ugly “frame tearing” was visible whenever I panned or moved the camera. This was freaking me out since I have to shoot tomorrow. After many tests with and w/o camera and lens IBIS and with IBIS digital off, I finally tried to render a clip. TG, that did the trick — no horizontal tearing. What in the world is going on with this camera?
