I get sound, but no video when I render
Hey all.
When I render a video using Sony Vegas 8 Pro, I get sound, but no video. I have followed several tutorials closely but still no luck. I render as a wmv file, change the size to 640×480, but still no video (just sound).
What I think happened is that I had set up Sony Vegas 8 a few moths back and had no problem rendering videos, but yesterday I started the program while holding down Ctrl and Shift (this resets all settings to their original positions).
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get the video to appear?
Thanks,
Peter

Make sure you didn’t select wma instead of wmv. Check that you didn’t mute your video tracks.

Thanks man, but I did those two things. It is something else.

Rendering from what source format to what finished format?

When you set up the render, did you make sure the “Include Audio” was check in the custom box?

Thanks for responding. I render from video using clips taken from a flip mini cam to Windows Media Video V9 wmv. But I have also tried rendering to Main Concept mp4 and avi, but still, I only get sound, no video. However, the inserted pics and text comes through, but not the video. It is so weird!

Yes, I checked the include audio box. I really think that when I returned my Sony Vegas 8 Pro to factory settings, I messed something up. Or, it is my flip video (I just bought the flip). But I never had this problem before.

So I have now tried to render video projects that rendered just fine a few days ago, and now these projects have only sound, no video. So, when I reset my settings (holding ctrl/shift when opening SV8), I must have change something to do this. UGH!
So lost.

uh oh! Sorry I mis-read your problem. You DO get audio but NO video, okay, then back to DSE’s question. Somehow I read it the other way around ;-(
Have you ever been able to get both video and audio from that Flip Camera? Do you get video and audio from other cameras? If not it may be a Codec isue. Some of those small cams use a different codec and Vegas doesn’t have it.
There’s a small free program called G-Spot (Google it). It will give you all the info on a video file.

Thanks Allen,
Yeah, the flip has worked just fine with my SV8. This all happened I think because I hit ctrl/shift when starting SV8 Pro to reset to factory settings.
Any video from any camera I try to render gives me only sound, no video. Graphics, text, jpgs work, but not video.
Very frustrating!

Did you load any other software during the time period? If not perhaps try to re-install Vegas. That might work.
