  • Video in saved project has gone black?

    Posted by Mark Lynch on December 6, 2010 at 6:13 am

    As you can see in the screenshot, one video source that I’ve been editing in the project is now entirely blank:
    https://i56.tinypic.com/2j3mo87.jpg

    When I take the raw, original video file and open it in Vegas again, the audio is fine, but the video is still all blank.
    I haven’t opened this project in months, but I haven’t done ANYTHING to the folder all the files are in. And all the .sfk and .bak files are intact.

    I’m confused. What can I do?

    What version of Vegas and where did the files originate?

    Vegas 8.0, the files are in a folder where every other video audio and project file is. It’s on my external hard drive.

    Upon start-up there is no prompt asking to find a new location for the files, because it seems to be a problem with the way the video file itself is being read, since even when I open the original video file in Vegas again by itself, the audio works, but the picture is blank the too.

    I’ll assume you have updated your Itunes at some point and that is what caused the problem. You need to roll back to 7.6.2 or older.

    That worked perfectly! I uninstalled my current Quicktime and found an older version of 7.6.2. That was very intuitive of you to guess that the files that weren’t working properly were .MOV files. Thank you!
