YouTube video in Sony Vegas 7.0

[Steve Rhoden]

No, its not possible.
You tube video you are gonna import will be in
the flash format….and Vegas does not work with this format.
So your best option is to use another software (video convertor)
to convert it to a format vegas reads well, example AVI, DV,
Quicktime etc…Then you can import it in vegas to do your edits.

Actually that’s not entirely true. It’s real easy to drop youtube videos into Vegas, the problem is sometimes you get mixed results. You can use a site like https://www.keepvid.com to save an mp4 file and then just drop them into Vegas. Every once in a while I’ll get a bunch of green pixels and errors, in which case I use Sorenson Squeeze to recompress the mp4 which fixes the problem for me. Steve is right that Vegas will work better if you dump it to a DV formatted avi or quicktime though. It’s handy when people want to share clips and things but please be mindful of any copyright issues.
