***Issue solved
Turns out on my new computer I had not loaded Cineform’s Neoscene program and the associated codec. When I tried to create a new project with a single cip created using Neoscene Vegas gave me a warning about the codec not found. Loading an old project created with many clips that needed the Cineform codec, Vegas didn’t say anything about the codec not being found.
I’m not sure of Sony monitors this forum or not but this issue sure used up a bunch my time trying to figure out what was going on.
