Quicktime file making SV crash
Hello,
I have a bunch of quicktime clips (.mp4) and when I try to import them into Sony Vegas Pro 13 it slows it down so much to the point it becomes unresponsive and I have to force end it.
Is there any way to make SV accept the files or should I convert them? If I have to convert (already tried), what should I convert into for the smoothest editing experience? I use Avidemux, but I can’t figure out how to handle these files. Before Avidemux got changed a bit, I used to convert all my video files to MJPEG video, PCM audio and AVI output. Now I’m a bit lost, not sure how to get that format again. MJPEG encoder, PCM and AVI Muxer does not work. -

Actually QuickTime clips would have a .mov extension. You probably just have AVC/H.264 clips.

If they are not performing well you should convert them.

If you can load them one at a time in Vegas Pro you can convert them to Sony MXF. This should edit smoothly. You can also try converting the to CineForm AVI with GoPro Studio (which is free).

You should use AviDemux 2.5. The 2.6 version does not create files that Vegas Pro can use for some reason.

Thank you for the fast reply! I will try rendering all clips in mxf or getting an older version of Avidemux.
