Vegas 9.0 & Quicktime 10 compatibility

[Mike Kujbida]

“So i’m working with both Quicktime 10…”

You must have a super secret inside track with Apple as the latest version of QuickTime is 7.6.9 (or something close to that) but definitely nowhere close to 10.

On a mac running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) Quicktime is at version 10.0

Post snow leopard quicktime and quicktime pro have been rolled into a single product called Quicktime Player X. It has all of the features of Quicktime Pro.

I’m currently testing the capture capabilities of it but am having trouble figuring out how to make the output files open and playback properly in Vegas.

Quicktime X or Quicktime 10 –

This is just a guess but because the Mac is using a much newer version of QuickTime, Vegas won’t be able to open it.
Try rendering it out in ProRes and see if Vegas can open it that.

I’m actually looking for a capture solution that won’t require me to have to transcode my original capture assets into a different format just so I can edit properly. I need a scalable solution since I do a significant amount of capture, adding a step to my process where I have to re-encode my original assets would add too much time to the process to be a tenable solution.

I’m actually a little surprised that more hasn’t been written about Quicktime 10 since it has been in circulation for over 18 months.

What format are you capturing?
Is there a reason you aren’t you doing this with Vegas directly and avoiding the transfer hassles?
Why aren’t you editing this on your Mac?

“I’m actually a little surprised that more hasn’t been written about Quicktime 10 since it has been in circulation for over 18 months”

I’m not.
Vegas is a PC app, not a Mac one so I personally wasn’t aware of the existence QT 10 as it doesn’t affect me.

I’ve used Vegas Vidcap in the past to do capture but in the last 6 months I’ve developed a problem with dropped frames using Vidcap. I’ve since switched my PC capture over to Adobe Premiere Capture and have cleared up my dropped frames problem. I’m currently exploring capture on a mac. I’ve also had some interesting problems capturing to FCP and then attempting to open up the output .mov’s in vegas but that is a separate problem I’ll be working on later.
