Ok I must admit that at times I have run into a stubborn session. The way I resolve it is to start fresh. Start a new project and import one clip in a nested project. Try cutting and so forth, See if that works. If so export an the old nested project as an edl text file and import it to a new empty project. That way you will retain your edits at least. Then try nesting the new version in a project and see if you can continue to work.

Hi,
No Quicktime is the standard apple media player and by no is it premium softwares. Quicktime Pro can be purchased at the Apple store for around $30.00 US. Quicktime Pro is a media player that can also be used to do very basic editing such as cutting and splicing, inserting or removing audio tracks or recording audio.The point being, should the file open in Quicktime, it can then be saved as a “hinted Movie” which can be brought into Vegas without further encoding saving both time and disk space. There are limitations though. Apple has deemed to withhold licencing of the 64 bit version of Quicktime for Windows based machines. This results in the limitation where Quicktime can use up to about three Gigs of ram hence diminishing the performance of the softwares.
Anyway back to the problem at hand. If possible return to the author of the file and request an image sequence and a audio file. png or exr files work well in Vegas. The reasons for image sequences are too numerous to explain here but let’s just say it is the prefered method of transferring files by production houses.
Should it be impossible to get a image sequence of the file, installing DaVinci Resolve Lite a premium software that is absolutely free may allow transcoding of the file.
Here we happen across the main issue and that is one of the audio portion of the file. Since Vegas ingests the video portion, all that is needed is to extract the audio track and import it to Vegas. From there simply place it on the timeline.

[Debbie King] “What do you look for when you mix?”
Everything depends on what it is I am attempting to convey in the production. First and foremost the dialog takes precedence. I mix the dialogue first. Next I add special effects and background sounds. And lastly I add a score if needed to emphasize the emotions of the scene. It is rare that the score and the dialogue are ever at the same level. For that matter the score and the dialogue rarely ever meet. I use the music score to emphasize actions , dialogue must be strong enough to stand on its own. Any part of the score must be below, way below the dialogue with a few exceptions such as if someone is yelling and screaming the level of the score can then of course be raised.
Forget about the numbers all the specs and everything else, this is art.
Choose your level set your dialog , then choose a score that fits the scene. Unless your doing a musical or a music video , the music is a supporting actor nothing more nothing less.
Whatever you do don’t let the Supporting Actor steal the scene.

[Art taylor] “It was created with After Effects and FX sound effects were added.”
Ok, if you have Quicktime Pro installed see if you can open it with Quicktime.

Like what Steven says there are many different types of avi. The avi format is but a container. The question is what is in the container. If it is divx then it is very unlikely to come into Vegas. The avi must conform to a editing format such as dv and the audio must be compatible with the video format.
