  • Vegas 21 cutting off last few seconds of imported OBS files

    First, I am a 25-year user of Vegas for video production so not a newbie to this. Second i have been using Vegas Pro 21 since its release. On a everyday basis i record zoom video depositions to a laptop using OBS then import those files into Vegas and render them to mpeg-4 without a single issue. Now i have a big issue with Vegas cutting off the last few seconds of files. So, the question is why is that? What changed in the recent release to screw this up? The issue is Vegas cuts off the last few seconds of the files. Sometimes it cuts off the entire audio and video clip in the timeline and sometimes as it just did today the video and audio appear at the end of the clip in the timeline complete with the audio waveform, but it will not play back the last few seconds of audio. What the heck did they screw up with the program to cause this? No other editor i own has this issue, i can use the same exact OBS files in Resolve or Masteringworks and no problem, no issue, both of those programs display the entire clip and render it perfectly. Finely It doesn’t matter what laptop i try it on, same problem, same problem in windows 10 or 11, same problem rendering with the GPU or not. When importing Panasonic camera generated clips such as mpeg4 or MTS files no issue with this and again never an issue previously with vegas as in the previously released versions of 21 or 20.

    Yeah that is pretty strange since I also record screen footages using OBS, I even then convert my OBS MKV files to MP4 to be compatible with Vegas PRO. I pass the clips and I am using Vegas 20, I get the whole video clip there no problem. Not sure if you had to convert MKV video files to MP4 from OBS, probably your settings are different from mines if it gets you MP4 format straight from OBS but maybe try what I did and record videos as MKV files and then convert it to MP4 using YTD Video Downloader or other mp4 conversion websites and pass it to your Vegas Pro 21 to see if that helps. Best of luck! If not, perhaps a glitch is happening on your Vegas Pro, both computers, did you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software, then trying again if results change? Let me know.

    Like you I record in OBS in MKV. I use to import those files directly into Vegas and never had a issue. V21 started cutting the files off for some reason or doing other strange things like not playing back the last few seconds of Audio. Anyway like you after some folks here suggested i convert the files to mp4 before importing to V21 i tried that and that seems to have solved the problem. The only difference is i am remuxing the files right in OBS, i am not using a 3rd party software to convert them to mp4.
