[cootie malamootie] “I made and rendered the video in an animation software”

Well… however you are creating the file… Vegas Pro doesn’t like it. I would suggest you use the QuickTime Animation codec or an MJPEG AVI file.

[Tim Neighbors] “Unfortunately it doesn’t solve my meta data issue. “

What is your metadata problem? In your original post you said, “…It drops my trimmer markers and regions”. I can add markers to ProRes 422 footage in the trimmer and they save just fine. Is that not working for you? I don’t have 4K ProRes files to test with but HD ProRes files work for me.

[Tim Neighbors] “I also inquired with Atomos about it’s compatibility with Vegas before buying and they gave me a green light.”

That’s because it is compatable. The Atomos shoots Apple Prores 422 and Vegas Pro can edit Apple ProRes 422 so they were correct. It does work. The reason it’s not recommended is because Vegas Pro has a limit to how many QuickTime files it can work with. But if you stay within that limit, it all works. The Atmos people would not know about the limit unless they use Vegas Pro because Sony doesn’t document it but when you get upwards of around 100 QuickTime files Vegas Pro starts to lock up.

You didn’t say why you are building proxies. if it’s because your computer isn’t powerful enough to edit 4K? or will Vegas Pro not read these files?

[Tim Neighbors] “Kinda sad to now hear that this product is really for FCP users.”

It’s not built just for FCP users. It’s built for editors who work in Apple ProRes 422. That could be any editor on a Mac using Avid, Adobe CC, or FCP. Normally, Mac editors would convert all of their camera footage to ProRes 422 to make editing easier. Products like the Atmos avoid that step by shooting in Apple ProRes 422 to begin with. A PC editor would never convert their footage to ProRes 422 because it’s impossible to do legally on a PC because there is no Apple approved ProRes encoder. That’s why it’s not an idea product for PC users. It’s providing an optimal Mac-based workflow.

It should be pointed out that asking the manufacturer if something will work or not, is not the same as asking if this is the best choice for your workflow. 😉

Sony DoStudio has been around for years and is in it’s 4th release (i.e., DoStudio 4.0) so this isn’t new.

It is aimed at Hollywood Blu-ray production with dynamic Java based menus and other interactive features most people could care less about.

Sony has certainly priced Blu-ray creation out of the general market. Considering that it has failed to replace the DVD, it really doesn’t matter what they change for it. DVD Architect is fine for 99% of non-Hollywood Blu-ray authoring.

I’ve never seen Vegas Pro do this with MPEG files. Where did they come from?

Can you post the MediaInfo text?

[Rick Hughes] “Just tried it on one video and it does what I wanted to achieve … thanks.”

Great! I’m glad that provided a solution. I know a low of people (including myself) just throw video onto the timeline and start cutting it up and as long as you have a manageable amount of video it works well. But when you really need to weed through good shots and bad shots and catalog what you want to use, the Trimmer is a better workflow.

[cootie malamootie] “When I look at the video, it looks fine. But when I open it and preview it from Sony Vegas 13, some points of the video look glitchy or corrupted or something.”

What codec does the video use? If you don’t know, try using a utility like MediaInfo to figure it out.

It might help if you take a screen capture if your display and post it here so that we can see what you mean by “glitches”.
