Imported Video Audio
I have imported a video into Sony Vegas but I can only see the video and there is no audio but there should be. How can I fix this?

What version of Vegas do you have and is it it Pro or Movie Studio?
Where did the video come from? -
The video came from a SDHC card. I have Vegas 7.0a. I’m not sure if it is pro or movie studio.

> The video came from a SDHC card.
And how did it get on the SDHC card? In other words… what is the make and model of the camera that you used to record the video onto the SDHC card?

When you click Help | About what does it say? In version 7 it didn’t say Pro. So it will either say Vegas 7 (which is the pro version) or Vegas Movie Studio or Vegas Movie Studio Platinum.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that this is a brand new h.264 camcorder and you are trying to use it with 3 year old Vegas 7 software. This is most likely not going to work. The video industry has been introducing new video formats almost every year and if you want to edit video from the latest cameras, you are going to need to use the latest software. Vegas is currently at version 9.

The video came of a SONY video camera. I do not know the model or any other information. The camera doesn’t belong to me. Video I have tried to work with in the past also will not work as far as the audio goes.
I am running Vegas Pro.

Amanda, download and install Gspot codec information appliance, drop the file on it and tell us what it says is required for a video codec.
This information will be under the Video section on the top right of the screen. -
I suspect that the video is h.264 which Vegas 7 does not support. We’ll see after you get the GSpot results. In that case, you’ll have to convert them to a format that Vegas 7 can handle.

GSpot results:
Video Codec: MJPG
Name: Motion JPEG -
Download and install the demo version of the MainConcept MJPEG codec.
As long as you’re not using it to encode, it won’t put the watermark on the output. -
Also I would venture to guess that the camera came with a MJPEG codec so that you could view the videos on your PC. If the camera came with a CD, chances are there is an MJPEG codec on their waiting to be installed.
