No video, just sound
I am trying to create some fanmovies for TV shows. When I import the file, I can’t see the movie in the preview.
Some other files work, but these won’t. Do I need to convert them to some other format? (They’re just .avi files, but you need VLC, i.e. special codecs to play them)The files are downloaded btw.
When I import them and drag them to the timeline I don’t get the ‘Building peaks’. I don’t see a preview. When I cut in it and save the project all I get is a file with sound.
Idk how I can fix this, I’m really looking forward to making some clips. -

You can use a program like GSPOT to determine the codec of these videos. Which codec is it?

First of all thank you very much for replying.
I downloaded the program, and I’m not completely sure how to use it, but I’ve just added the file and at the top right of the screen it says:
Codec: XVID
Name: XviD ISO MPEG-4At the left it also says Avi v1.0
The rest is unrelated to codecs -
Are you working on Vegas-64bit? Then you should convert the files to files with the Lagarith codec. Otherwise you can also convert to e.g. DV-avi.

edit:
Fixed!
I had to install the XviD codecs. Guess that was pretty logical.
Thanks a lot for your help!
