I captured a widescreen mp4 from my webcam at 17k bps.
So do i need to set vegas at the same 17k bps?
There does not seem to be an option to select bps in production in vegas.

Just so i undertand, it’s ok to import trim then export an MP4?
(not that i have a choice because webcam creates an mp4 to start with)
