What are /r/VegasPro's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

One question is whether you want to make soft or hard subtitles. Soft subtitles are stored separately from the video and displayed simultaneously - SRT, SUB/IDX, ASS, etc. Whereas it sounds like you are wanting the subtitles to be part of the video picture (ie hard subs).

If you really want to keep using the Vegas text tool, realise you can copy and paste clips - even generated ones. So you just create one text clip and copy and paste it a couple of hundred times. Then go and edit the text. It treats each one as a separate entity, so they can all have different text. That'll save you changing the text preset 200 times.

What other people have suggested here is tools for making soft subtitles. But you can at least use them to make the text, saving a fair bit of time. I tried otter.ai recently and was very pleasantly surprised by the accuracy of the text. Free accounts can do 6,000 minutes of transcription per month.

Sometimes it's hard to decipher why a type of media is acting the way it is. Your best bet is to update all your codecs here: https://ninite.com/klitecodecs/ninite.exe

If that doesn't work, how are you getting your footage?

Well your specs are good so it shouldn't be that. It sounds like the video player you're watching the video on is not playing the video correctly. Either that or you added a TON of FX and VEGAS messed up rendering it.

1. Download and install MPC with K-Lite codecs. This allows your computer to understand more types of videos and play them in a very lightweight program.

2. In the 🙌 💉 The 'Scrapyard Films Molotov Cocktail' 💊 🙏, try doing steps 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

I also asked you what format the video is inside the container file. That's why I wrote all that text and illustrated it with a screenshot.

Even before you answer though, I'm now pretty certain that it's the source files. You can't just throw any file at Vegas and have it work fine. I can see from your video that it's a different aspect ratio and probably a different frame rate. Digital video is really tricky at the best of times, even when it looks pretty straightforward. Mixing video types is often a guarantee of trouble.

I would suggest that you might want to convert that video to a different format and container in order to have it function better with Vegas. Handbrake is the most widely-used good tool for that. It's free and it's pretty easy to use, despite being very powerful.

Vegas is touch and go with .mov files and I have never heard of it doing well with .mkv files. Use Handbreak (https://handbrake.fr/) to transcode them to mp4 and they should work just fine. Handbreak also does batches so you only have to set it up once and you could transcode all of your old videos.

OBLIGATORY It could be that the cracked version of VEGAS is currupted and is recommended to get Vegas 15 for only $25 as there is onlt 1 day left on the sale.

How was this footage recorded? Could be an issue with the codec of the source.

Try downloading Handbrake, watching a you tube video on how to convert to a high quality MP4 (even if your video is an MP4 already), and convert it. Once done, reimport it to VEGAS ans see how it looks.

The video file sure sounds like it's been damaged in some way. It's unlikely to be Vegas that did it - it doesn't write anything to video files as it works with them. There's a few things you can try though.

If you don't have it already, get hold of VLC Player. VLC can play many files that are damaged. So try playing the file in there. VLC can also try to repair files that don't work. Method 2 and Method 1 (in that order) from this guide will talk you through it.

There are a lot of utilities out there that claim they can fix video. Most of them are junk. Even the ones that do work will not be able to rescue a completely destroyed file. So have a go with VLC and see if you get on okay.

If you aren't able to fix the file, can you remove it from the project? You can at least drag the file out of the folder Vegas is expecting it to be in. Vegas will start the project and complain it can't find the file. Tell it to ignore missing files and leave them offline. The project should load just fine.

Some people have had luck with creating a new project and copying and pasting the old one into it. I've never tried that myself though.

As for what caused this in the first place, it's very difficult to say.

YouTube. That's almost certainly the problem. How are you downloading them? I'd guess through a website. Those can often prove to be problematic, because they often create malformed video files - they may well be okay for playing, but editing requires a lot more from a file. Although you're using AVC in an MP4 (generally the best format for Vegas), I'd be worried about malformed files. For instance, they often use a variable framerate, which Vegas (and other video editors) does not like - or they don't encode headers properly, meaning they clash with the actual data.

There's a very good tool for downloading from YouTube (called youtube-dl), but it is a command line tool that involves opening a command prompt and controlling it through typed commands. It is terrifically flexible (you can convert, extract audio, resize, etc) and works with far more sites than just YouTube. It's free and makes proper files that will work properly in video editors.

If you'd prefer something more visual, there is a very simple GUI version (called youtube-dl-gui, funnily enough). That just involves pasting links to videos in and setting them going. It's not quite as flexible as the command line version, but it works just as well. You can still download from multiple sites and ever download multiple files at a time.

Not in Vegas, but I've used something like this in an Android app called ez glitch. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3dteam.zglitch

It has a "3d" effect, where you can choose "scan lines" to kinda create a LIDAR effect.

• What version of VEGAS Pro are you using? (FYI. It hasn't been 'Sony' Vegas since version 13)
  • VP 19 Pro from amazon
• What exact graphics card do you have in your PC?
  • RTX 2060
• What version of Windows are you running?
  • Windows 11 Pro
• Is it a pirated copy of VEGAS? It's okay if it is just abide by the rules and you won't get permanently banned
  • Last time i pirated something my hard drive got locked ☠️ so no
• Have you searched the subreddit using keywords for this issue yet?
  • Yes to no avail
• Have you Googled this issue yet?
  • yes, but results also were not relevant to me, or way out of date, or not close to my primary issue

The case is good enough, otherwise, no one would buy it and Apevia would have gone bankrupt long ago. Take a look at the reviews on Amazon:

Great case. Good airflow and plenty of space

As a first time builder, this case was great. Came with ties and plenty of spare screws. Lots of room for cable management so I had no issues. I was worried about airflow given the glass but the fans work great and the case stays cool.

Sorry for the late response. I took a self care birthday weekend and am now coming back to help today.

You got an odd issue. VEGAS naturally allows .mp4 and .avi so something is either wrong with how you're creating/obtaining these files or VEGAS 13.

1. I'd install K-Lite Codec Pack + Media Player Classic from ninite.com. This is a butt ton of video codecs that allows your PC and VEGAS to understand more file-types. Download Here

2. Then install MagicYUV Codec which allows your PC and VEGAS to understand even more unique .avi files. Download Here

3. Try going to File > Import Media > and manually finding your file. If that doesn't work, try step 4.

4. Try [downloading OBS]() studio, then [follow the instructions in this video to properly record your screen to a 100% compatible .mp4 format](), and finally try importing that into VEGAS.

Install this codev pack: https://ninite.com/klitecodecs/ninite.exe

It contains the .MOV codec and should work. After you install these and for some reason it doesn't read still, try uninstalling quicktime and reinstalling it

1. Correct. Magix bought Vegas Pro and the first version they came out with was version 14. Starting at V14, you'll see Magix Intermediate.

2. Sound about right with old rendering styles. Remember V13 is now very old and outdated compared to V16/V17. With each version that comes out, everything gets better and faster including render outputs. Quicktime is old, officially unsupported, and outdated but that's all you can use with your version.

3. Windows built in video player is trash. I use Media Player Classic. It's EXTREMELY lightweight and plays everything. https://ninite.com/klitecodecs/ninite.exe

4. Old version of Vegas doesn't know what new cards are so therefore can't utilize them or support them for hardware acceleration.

I truly recommend upgrading to 16 or 17. So many reasons to upgrade. Once VEGAS 17 is released in a couple of weeks, I'll be posting a TON of V17 videos and maybe they'll help you pull the trigger on an upgrade.

/u/Razertex, it sounds like the video player you're watching the video on is not playing the video correctly. Either that or you added a TON of FX and VEGAS messed up rendering it.

1. Download and install MPC with K-Lite codecs. This allows your computer to understand more types of videos and play them in a very lightweight program.

2. In the 🙌 💉 The 'Scrapyard Films Molotov Cocktail' 💊 🙏, try doing steps 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

Okay, so bitrate is fine.

Framerate is literally all over the place. (36 to 145!)

You might try a tool like Handbrake to re-encode to constant framerate (60fps) before bringing into Vegas and see if the resulting file looks and edits acceptably. If it does, problem solved (though you really need to figure out better capture settings). If not... maybe someone else has an idea.

Okay, variable framerate is your problem. Minimum of 2.4 and ma of 300(!) That's a wild swing.

Convert existing media to constant framerate with Handbrake or other software and try to find a way to record constant framerate media to begin with.

The recording software you are using determines whether you can set it to Constant Frame Rate or not.

In this thread, the OP was recording from an XBox Series X. Sadly, the software for that doesn't allow for CFR - all the recordings are VFR only. In that case, all one can do is convert the footage over (slow) or use an external video capture device (expensive).

I don't know how you're capturing game footage, so I can't make a concrete suggestion. If it's using the built-in Radeon Record and Stream, I'm afraid I have no experience with it and it does seem difficult to look it up. Or is it ReLive? I'm sorry, but I just don't know anything about Radeon capture.

You could alternatively use OBS, but I would caution against rushing into it. OBS is designed for streaming. Although it does record too, the defaults are based around streaming and you can end up with some problems if not careful beforehand. The OBS subreddit can give proper advice on the right settings though.

As far as your existing footage is concerned, you're going to have to convert it if you want to use it without lag in the preview. The utility of choice is Handbrake, which is free and fairly easy to use. It looks tricky at first glance, but you're actually not going to use most of the settings. It's pretty much a case of drag a file in, choose a preset and render it out. It will be slow because it is re-rendering the video.

PS Sorry OP - I know you'll be getting notifications because of these extra comments on the thread.

Make proxies of this footage or use a program like Handbrake to re-encode to easier to edit AVC before you bring it into Vegas. The original game encode might be optimized to minimize CPU use or bandwidth but as a consequence not be easy to edit.

I'm afraid I cannot find any way to restrict your Xbox to a constant frame rate. It seems to only record in variable frame rates. That's really bad news for editing and definitely the cause of your lag and stutter. Sadly, the only solution to that is to use a utility like Handbrake to convert it from VFR to CFR.

Really? That's very odd...

Is there something with the video files that causes issues with editing software? Did you try just inserting the SRT to a project with no video files?

Otherwise I'd try re-encoding the videos with Handbrake using x264 in case long GOPs or other problems are giving decoders fits. It happens.

Probably faulty metadata or Vegas doesn't fully support the video format.

Consider re-encoding if you have issues editing it as well or just set project properties manually (don't have it automatically set based on the first media added).

Some VFX have issues with variable framerate media. If you are using footage from phones or similar sources try converting to constant framerate before bringing into Vegas.

Handbrake is a free tool I use to do this.

For a final render I'd probably do MagixAVC/Mainconcept or x.264 through Voukoder to get maximum quality. It takes longer but after editing a project for days I don't mind. You shouldn't have to disable any GPU features to do a CPU encode.

On Windows 11 there are known issues with default graphics drivers- try finding OEM drivers from NVIDIA and your CPU maker (if there is an iGPU) and see if that helps. Vegas isn't yet tested with Win11 so you're a bit on your own.

Well, instead of doing proxies you could just re-encode to AVC using x264 and not use the originals at all. Pretty sure Handbrake (free) can do batch conversions.

Otherwise tools like Happy Otter Scripts (paid) have an import assistant and other proxy building tools.

Not specific to the subscription- the editing software is the same. If you need help, provide some details as to when it happens.

Does a crash window appear with details about the error?

For general advice try updating GPU drivers in help/driver update.

If your media is variable framerate (phones) or very long GOP (zoom, etc.), convert to constant framerate AVC before importing into Vegas.

It's the media x GPU decoding. What media is this? You can try different decoding settings (including off) under preferences/ file io.

As a workaround you can highlight a section of timeline and do a ram preview (shift b).

You can also try re-encoding media with a program like Handbrake.

Some decoding issues were addressed later in VP 18 or now in VP 19.

There is no way within Vegas. You could try to use one of the many macro utilities available to make your own. You'd have to use one of the more advanced ones (like AutoHotKey) because you need it to access a menu and pick an item, but this is possible. You'd have to write a short script that generates a right click event, then a couple of arrow key movements. It's not hard, but it's more than just a couple of clicks to set up.

I use a Logitech G13 keypad as a macro controller for Vegas. I've programmed the 22 keys to various Vegas functions and use the thumbstick as a jog/shuttle wheel. Logitech's own software is enough for me to program the macros of my choice. Many of them just replicate keyboard shortcuts, but some are novel.

I can't say for sure that it's the ripped video that's the root cause of this, but it is by far the most likely. And that goodness you're not using ReelSmart Motion Blur - I don't know why people love using it so much, because it eats system resources and slows everything to a crawl.

Generally I recommend not ripping videos - there aren't any professional tools for doing so. However, there is youtube-dl which does an excellent job. It uses FFmpeg for its video handling - which is a set of programming libraries for handling video on a variety of operating systems and is used by a number of video programs. But I suspect you won't like the command line interface of youtube-dl, so I'd instead direct you to youtube-dlg, which is the same thing with a user interface on it. It lacks access to a lot of the more advanced features of the command line version, but I suspect it's more than enough for your purposes. It'll also download from a heck of a lot more places than just YouTube.

Well. The video codec looks completely standard, and the "YUV 4:2:0 P" is a reference to the colorspace in the video, which I assume Vegas 12 also supports.

However, DTS audio has never been supported in Sony Vegas Pro: http://www.vip-video-converter.com/articles/sony-vegas-pro-14-supported-formats-convert-video-audio/ (Couldn't find an official source with this documentation)

The process you're doing with xvid4psp is commonly known as remuxing. Try to do it again, but only remux (aka. stream copy aka. passthrough) the video codec. For the audio, try to convert it to a supported audio codec like FLAC or AC3.

Handbrake isn't a good option, because it doesn't support video passthrough, and it would be a shame to re-encode the video if it's not necessary. But if the above suggestion doesn't solve anything, you

That's new to update 3 of VP 19. It's possible to disable in internal preferences (hold shift and head up to the menu and you should see an internal tab appear). Not sure what it's called exactly but it's in there. Expect update 4 to make the "do not show again" box work consistently.

That said the warning is a good one- for me Zoom files trigger this flag. Rips may as well. Use a tool like Handbrake and re-encode the file to regular constant framerate AVC before bringing into Vegas and you'll have better stability and fewer errors.

I see that it's part 2, did you change your recording settings after part 1? Because it looks like your files are corrupted. Try re-encoding the original videos with handbrake or adobe's media encoder.

Well that's an entirely sensible format that Vegas ought to recognise just fine - MP4 container with AVC/h.264 video and AAC LC audio. That's pretty much the ideal file and video format to be using with Vegas.

OBS can be a problem though. Sometimes it doesn't close out recordings properly. If you can, would you try re-encoding one of the rejected videos in Handbrake to see if that works. The settings aren't terribly important at this time - just encode as an MP4 AVC/h.264 (even though it already is) and try taking that into Vegas. If Handbrake throws up an error, make a note of it.

Maybe it's a codec problem. Sorry, I know it's a lot of work, but maybe you should try running one of your files through Handbrake to see if that works. Then, if it does, maybe you should look into the way that you're recording your files.

My suspicion is what you're seeing is a font that comes with Gimp.

I'm getting the same results you describe. Monospace in Gimp but visible nowhere else.

The kicker is that if you go into the windows control panel and look at the available fonts, Monospace doesn't show up. Which means it's not installed in the OS.

Try this...

Clips sourced from YouTube. That's what's ringing alarm bells for me. And how were they sourced from YouTube? Through some online site that rips video?

When I asked how much RAM, I meant how much RAM your computer has. However, I suspect you've watched a video that tells you to mess with the RAM Preview value. That really isn't too helpful. It's often portrayed as a magical setting that can fix failed renders, speed up everything, make effects smoother and quicker. In reality it's just the amount of RAM that Vegas keeps spare for previewing your clips during editing. That's all it does!

Okay, so if you're ripping videos from YouTube, the number one thing you can do is use a proper tool to do so. One of the problems with ripping stuff from there is that YouTube makes regular changes to the way things are coded in order to break these sites and tools. Most of the online rippers don't do a very good job and they often produce malformed videos that break very easily. The same with most of the YouTube ripper programs. It's a hassle keeping up with all the YouTube changes, so most of them are not programmed well enough or updated often enough to be reliable means of ripping. The ones that are, tend to be the ones that get sued by YouTube.

The best tool for ripping YouTube video is youtube-dl. Because it's a command line tool, that tends to put most people off. There is a GUI version of it too though (and it does a lot more than just YouTube). I would suggest you try grabbing a couple of videos using this tool and see if that just makes all the difference.

Here's the solution, I can guarantee you this will make editing a lot smoother. Download the free version of davinci resolve 17. (You will still be editing in Vegas) https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/?gclid=CjwKCAiAkan9BRAqEiwAP9X6UWBozQG_perfqOAtmAjNKDzhWIeNHeRRm26U3fBIJme8EYVNpvhVFRoCb4sQAvD_BwE

Create a new project, put your clips into the media pool, go to file>media management>transcode. For the format, select quicktime. And for the codec, select DNxHD. Select "entire project" and then click "all files". Choose a folder for the transcoded clips, and then hit "start" at the bottom right corner. And there you go! Let the transcoding do it's thing and your new transcoded footage will be 1000x smoother to edit and playback. Note that doing this will make the file size multiple times larger. I'll explain the reason for this. Video playback in an exciting software is done through a process called "decoding". Cameras and screen recording softwares compress footage into the encoding format of "h264". This format is super compressed and complicated so it has a small file size, so it can only be decoded by the CPU. DNxHD, however, is far less compressed. Your gpu will be fully leveraged, and playback will become far more smooth.

I said variable frame rate, I meant variable bit rate. bit rate is basically the amount of information sent over a period of time. In video that is usually mega bites (or bytes, I honestly don't know here) per second or Mbps. Most video has a constant bit rate. It's simpler that way, easier to use, and honestly has just always been used more. Variable bit rate or VBR is really only commonly found in two places that I have found. Twitch vods (because VBR isn't detrimental to live streams) and Nvidia Shadowplay (because whoever runs the damn thing is an idiot). I am yet to find an editing software that actually just works with VBR. The easiest fix for it is to use a video transcoding software called Handbrake (https://handbrake.fr/). Using it is easy enough, literately just drag and drop the footage. Just make sure that you have the "Align A/V start" box checked. That is the first part that will fix your audio sync issues. Then make sure that you don't mess up your video dimensions, add any filters, or mess up your audio tracks. Finally make sure that the quality setting is set to constant quality and the framerate is set to constant framerate. And that is the quick way to fix audio sync.

Makes sense. Here's what I suggest.

1. Use these OBS settings to record the highest quality, lowest file size, and most compatible MP4

2. Use Handbrake to converthe mkv file to a high quality mp4. It's better at that than VLC.

Minus all of the comments below, I made this video explaining the best render settings for all versions of VEGAS.

Change the resolution to 1080p, frame rate to 30, bit rate to 30Mbps and you'll be good to go. If it's bigger than what you want, recompress it with Handbrake a LITTLE BIT and it'll shrink the file and not lose any quality.

That's unfortunate that you are recording in MKV because converting MKV's to anything else if not reliable. I recommend not doing that and doing all your recording in MP4. It supports multi-channel audio and is instantly editable in VEGAS. Here is my tutorial for the best recording settings for OBS

Best advice is try converting the original file to mp4 using Handbrake (if you didn't use this program)

Ah. I record using OBS for 95% of my videos and I use these settings. They're perfect and I never get any glitches so I recommend these: https://youtu.be/GThJUyncUcE

And as for the footage you've already recorded, you can try recoding it in Handbrake and it may play nicer with VEGAS: https://handbrake.fr/ YouTUbe search how to convert a file to an .mp4 (even if your files are already mp4's) and that could help

Use Handbrake (https://handbrake.fr/).

1. Import the clip (or fold if you have many clips you want to convert)
2. In the "Open Source" tab choose your preset (I usually go with "Production Max" since I think it gives me the best quality)
3. Check that the format is MP4 (same "Open Source" tab under "Summary")
4. Choose a folder to save your clips (it's at the bottom of the window)
5. Hit "Start Encode" at the top middle of the window
6. Wait until Handbrake is done

Instead of converting it to a WMV, convert it to an MP4 using Handbrake. You can choose a high quality and high frame rate mp4 preset that will import just fine and look great in VEGAS

Then render using these settings and you'll get an awesome, fluid animation.https://youtu.be/rcQgLlCyIVA

Put them all in a new folder. Inside that new folder, create ANOTHER new folder and call it 'converted' or something like that.

You can then download Handbrake and install it.

Load it up and tell it to find the folder (batch scan) full of videos. Then choose one of the genera very high quality 1080p presets in the drop down menu above the tabs. you can go through the tabs and change settings as needed. The 'Video' tab allows you to change the frame rate so match it to what your source frame rate is.

Once you've chosen settings you like, SAVE the preset!

Once you've saved your custom preset, you'll have to give your first video a name and tell it where to save at the bottom.

After that, click 'Add To Queue' at teh top and then you're finished with the hard part.

Next, click the drop down near 'Title' at the top and you'll see the list of all your videos, click each one individually and make sure you choose your saved preset, name it, then add it to queue.

Once you've done that with all your videos, click 'Start Encode' and it will convert all of them for you.

Gotta be some sort of confusion with the codec of the second file.

1. Download and install K-Lite Codec Mega Pack. and then try rendering again. But this time just render about a30 second selection when it's transitioning from the first video file type to the second file type.

2. If that still doesn't work, download Handbrake and convert the second file type to one of their MP4 presets (even if your video is already an MP4). To make sure you're doing it right, watch a youtube video on it first. Once converted, open back up VEGAS, go the the "Project Media" tab, find the video file that's making it crash, Right click it and select "Replace Media". Locate your newly converted file and select it. Your project will be using the new file from now on so try to render again.

h.264 is the compression method and it's 100% compatible with VEGAS. Something went wrong with however you converted it.

If you have the original file, download Handbrake. Once installed, drag and drop the MKV into it. Choose one of the ''Fast' format's on the right. Press browse at the bottom and choose the folder where you want to convert the file to. Then rename the extension it automatically tags on from .m4v to .mp4. Convert that. Import and try again.

Usually audio getting out of sync is due to the original file's codec. The most common solution is to download Handbrake and recompile the footage to a high quality MP4 preset. Although for a 35 hour long video, this may take a very long time.

Try downloading Handbrake and converting your source video file to one of the high quality MP$ presets that Handbrake has. Put it back into Vegas and try rendering again and see if that helps. It looks like a Video Bit Rate issue usually caused by Capture cards or screen recorders.

Lossless in OBS gave me issues too. Vegas doesn't have a problem with the size of the video but it gets confused with the codec OBS creates with the 'Lossless' format. I fixed it by recompiling the video into a different .MP4 preset in Handbrake

Also in the future try recording using these settings. Works perfect for me now.

Looks like something to do with the video codec maybe?

Try downloading Handbrake, loading up your source footage in it, and converting it to one of their high quality MP4 presets. Plop that into vegas and see if it does the same thing.

WMV's can produce a pretty low file size. You can give that a try. The settings in this tutorial are for V14 and should be similar to 13 on how to render a .wmv. Play around with the quality settings and see the file sizes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4miuS5qZE4k

But other than that. You can try compressing your initial rendered file in Handbrake and see if that lowers the file size enough while keeping the quality.

Next thing I can think of is recompiling the clips to a high quality mp4 format (even if they're already mp4) using this program Handbrake.

Try it with one video and see how it handles.

Very weird. Have you try this:

Try doing these 5 things:

1. Download and run CCleaner. It's a PC cleaning program I love. Clears out temp files, cashes, etc.

2. Try converting your file using a high quality mp4 preset using this program Handbrake and re-importing it into Vegas.

That's extremely weird. What about uninstalling using Geek Uninstaller and reinstalling the latest updated version: Download Here

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're talking about needing help installing VEGAS Pro 17 that you paid for. Because if you were asking this subreddit how to install an illegal version of the program, that will get you banned very quickly. So below are my tips.

If you have the latest installer, you shouldn't be experiencing this problem. You can find the latest installer in the Wiki of this subreddit or on your product page on Magix' website. Make sure you have all versions of VEGAS pro uninstalled by running the Geek Uninstaller. This erases all traces of VEGAS. Log in to MAGIX web site and go to your product page. Make sure you deactivate all instances of VEGAS 17. Then run the latest V17 installer. Once installed, double click the icon, it will prompt for your S/N to activate it. Enter your S/N. Then it should work as normal.

Best thing I can say is use Geek Uninstaller to uninstall VEGAS because it erases 100% of the program unlike windows uninstaller and then reinstall it.

Also try using this program to uninstall your drivers then download the latest ones from NVIDIA's website and installing them.

Still doesn't work after that, download a free trial of VEGAS 17 and see if it's your illegal copy that's messing you around.

Best thing I can say is use Geek Uninstaller when uninstalling VEGAS because it erases 100% of the program unlike windows uninstaller.

Next is that I had a similar issue and it resolved once I uninstalled and all my 3rd party plugins. It then started up just fine. Then I reinstalled my plugins and was good to go.

But since this is happening on 2 different version of VEGAS, logic point the blame at your computer. Try using this program to uninstall your drivers then downloading the latest ones from NVIDIA's website and installing them.

Lol not normal at all. If I were you, I'd completely uninstall this software using Geek Uninstaller. This removed all files, folders, and registry entries that pertain to VEGAS. Once done, log in to your MAGIX account, navigate to your products page, Find Movie Studio 16, just to be safe deactivate the license from the PC, download the launcher for MS16, install it, launch it, re-activate it with your S/N, and try again.

Dang that sucks you're going through that. I bought, V14 and two copies of V15 off Humble Bundle and haven't had any issue at all uninstalling, reinstalling, activating, deactivating all between 3 different PC's. I also get a copy to a friend so 4 different PC's.

Typically when I want to reinstall, If i need a clean uninstall (registry included), I use Geek Uninstaller. This is the best uninstaller ever. Then I head over to Magix site, log in,, go under my products, and deactivate my key. Then when I reinstall somewhere else, I use the official installers from Magix, go through the setup, give my key, and I'm good. Done it multiple times, with multiple copies, on multiple types of machines.

Very odd issue. Try uninstalling it using this program. GEEK Uninstaller. It scans for registry remains of a program. This will fully remove all traces of Vegas from your PC.

Then download and run CCleaner and run that to clear out any temp files.

After that, log into magix.com, navigate to your products, find V14 install download link and try installing that.

If you tried 2 separate installers then is seems like it's a Windows issue or possibly a hardware issue preventing it. Some basic things I can think of are:

• If you have any old versions of VEGAS installed, uninstall them using this tool, Geek Uninstaller. It fully uninstalled programs then then deletes EVERYTHING that was associated with them on the hard drive and in the registry: https://geekuninstaller.com/geek.zip

• Right click and run as admin

• Update windows fully. Try again

• Uninstall your graphics drivers with this tool: https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

• Then download the latest graphics drivers and reinstall them and try again

Yep, same problem. None of the ytmp3.cc mp3s work for me in Vegas. Either the ytmp3 devs messed something up or YT changed their encoding or something? Youtube-dl works tho.

Use this command:

youtube-dl -x --audio-format mp3 your_link

Footage from screen recording software tends to be vfr (variable frame rate) which is problematic for editing software. You'll likely have to convert it to get a file that will play nice in Vegas. For future recordings, I would test different settings in bandicam or try this: https://www.bandicam.com/support/tips/sony-vegas/

Convert MKV TO MP4 in SECONDS - THIS ACTUALLY WORKS! - YouTube
XMedia Recode - Video Converter (xmedia-recode.de)

it takes SECONDS to change from MKV to MP4. I did a 111GB mkv in 2 minutes, most 30ish gb files are done is seconds though.

I've used Voicemeeter in the past. I'm unfortunately having issues with it now so I've stopped using it. You can tell it to record 2 audio inputs at the same time and it will output one tack.

Many comments, but there what I'd do:

I'd convert the file to an audio format via a different software, import it into vegas and try to re-sync it with the video.

I go with the AIMP, (an awesome free audio player) that has a built in converter that's very straight- forward and fast.

(Yeah mkv's and Vegas is like 50% failing :\)

Cheers!

I have a 144hz gaming monitor and it absolutely affects VEGAS. Water cooling is super easy now since they have all of it pre-made and all you have to to is attach it to your cpu. Very easy and totally worth it.

The Steam version can't have multiple instances open at once, so no copy and pasting between projects (which can be very helpful).

Although that is 70% off, it's discounted from the original price from years ago. At that price, I'd say that it isn't worth it.

Vegas Pro Edit 16 from Amazon (both sold and shipped by, legit) is currently $89. It's a newer version and won't have the only 1 instance limit as the Steam version. That's a better deal.

Does it have to be from Argos? You can get the Hyper X Cloud 2’s from Amazon for under £100. They’re probably not the best on the market, but they’re the best and most comfortable affordable headset that I’ve ever had. Three years on and they’re still going strong.

This is a legit deal for a physical copy of Vegas 14 and is approved.
