  • Please Help! .Mov files turned blank!

    Posted by Miles French on April 6, 2010 at 5:26 pm

    Hello all forum users, you are now my last resort. I have tried many things but this problem remains. It started after apple gave my computer a new quicktime and itunes update and quicktime stopped working with error 46. I fixed that problem after hours of researching and finally got quicktime to work again this morning but the problem is still in sony vegas. When I bring media into the sony media bin and also the timeline what comes up is a blank clip. The screen is black but the audio works as if nothing was wrong. The files are mov. and everything worked well in sony up until the software update. Does anyone know what is going on? I have sony vegas pro 9 and a windows vista 32-bit computer.

    Exactly happened to me, damn Apple!!

    What i did was uninstall them both. Download the previous version of Quicktime (https://support.apple.com/downloads/QuickTime_7_6_for_Windows)

    Install just QT 7.6 and do not update it and reinstall Vegas 9.

    Hope it helps =]

    The problem with re-installing an older version of QuickTime is that your new version of iTunes will no longer work 🙁
    You need to also find an older version of iTunes, uninstall the new version and install the old one.
    Make sure you back up your iTunes library first and google this entire procedure as a number of Vegas users have been bit by this.

    Actually, you don’t need to go back to Quicktime 7.6.0… you can use 7.6.4 which supports iTunes 9 and it works fine with Vegas Pro.

    John, you have no idea how happy I was to read that!!!
    I’ve been trying all kinds of things to get iTunes and Vegas to play nicely together.
    Then I read this post, smacked myself in the head (as that’s the standard response which I didn’t try), found 7.6.4, installed it and am a happy editor once again.
    I also made my wife and kids happy too as they now have iTunes back again 🙂

    That was exactly what drove me to try different versions. I use iTunes to buy all of my music and I wasn’t going backwards. Glad I could help.
