  • Converting VEG files to VF files

    Posted by Natan Katzman on October 2, 2010 at 6:36 pm

    I’ve been using a very old version of Vegas Video (3.0) and am considering buying Movie Studio HD. Is there a way to convert my VEG files to VF files? Or is there a way to import or open VEG files with Movie Studio?

    You can open .vf files in Vegas Pro, but you van not open .veg files in Movie Studio versions.

    I was aware of that. Thanks.
    My question is whether there is a utility that will convert VEG to VF so that I then can open the new, converted VF file.

    Open up the Vegas 3 project.
    Start a new instance of Movie Studio.
    In Vegas 3, select all and copy.
    Switch to Movie Studio, paste and save under a new name.

    Half of that works. I Select All and Copy from Vegas 3; but when I open Movie Studio and start a new project there is no Paste option – neither the icon, the menu or Control C.

    It seems to need one more step in Movie Studio.

    Try doing a Ctrl A and then a Ctrl C in Vegas followed by Ctrl V in Movie Studio.

    That does not work. Select and Copy (or Ctl-A and Ctl-C) work fine within Vegas 3 and I can then Paste (or Ctl-V) into the Vegas 3. But with the copied material still in memory Movie Studio does not accept any form of Paste command (Ctl-V, icon, or Edit menu). Are you able to do this? If so, what is the configuration of Movie Studio that allows Paste to happen?

    Natan, I have no idea why this doesn’t work.
    I’ve only used Pro, never Movie Studio so I can’t even test it out for you.

    Thanks for trying, Mike. I’ll use a clumsy workaround (render fragments of the Vegas 3 work to AVI and import to Movie Studio) or ditch Movie Studio.

    I Appreciate your help.
