  • Vegas tga import problem

    Posted by Unzarjones on February 20, 2006 at 3:00 am

    Greets: Trying out the demo of SE. After exporting four test 125-250 frame tga sequences, when I try to import into Vegas as sequence, on three of the tests it could only read the first frame/file then hit me with an error message about not being able to open the files. On one test I got about half way by only selecting half the frames to sequence. The files all show up in the Vegas timeline, but are black(being unreadable of course). Using Vegas 6.0d. Any suggestions appreciated. UJ

    Tried batch conversion to png to see if that format would work, same problem.

    I can’t recall ever having a problem importing pI images into Vegas. Can you open up any of those TGA files in a program other than Vegas, like an image viewer or paint program, or do you get an error too?

    I was selecting ALL the files to be sequenced by Vegas when I should have been selecting just the first. Didn’t know Vegas selected the rest automatically. I’m happy now. Back to the experiment! UJ
