AVI & Sony Vegas Pro: Import and Edit AVI Files in Sony Vegas Pro

Sony Vegas is a professional non-linear editing system originally published by Sonic Foundry that can be workable with Windows computers.

Although AVI is listed as one of the supported formats by Sony Vegas Pro. When you import AVI to Sony Vegas, you may come across lots of problems, such as nothing shows up on the screen, or there is only image or you only get sound in Sony Vegas Pro:

When ever i try to click and drag a avi file in to Vegas i get a no entry sign and it wont allow me to import it. then when i go to Vegas and press import and find the file and import it says "warning an error occurred whilst opining one or more files" and i cant work out what is going on.

"I'm new to Sony Vegas just saying. When i drag my avi file (which came from the ingame recorder) it comes up with a message of *none of the files dropped on vegas pro could be opened*."


AVI is a multimedia container format which may carry audio/visual data inside in virtually any compression scheme, including Full Frame (Uncompressed), Intel Real Time (Indeo), Cinepak, Motion JPEG, Editable MPEG, VDOWave, ClearVideo / RealVideo, QPEG, and MPEG-4 Video.

An easy way to understand this, is to imagine that an AVI video file is like a book. If the book (video container) is printed in English, then English is the language (video codec) you need to know and understand in order to read the book. However, if the book (video container) is written in an exotic language (less common video codec) that not many people speak/understand, then most people wont be able to read it. Which means you will have to translate (convert the video codec) into a language/codec you can understand before you can use it and import into your video editing program.

In order to successfully import, open and edit all kinds of AVI in Sony Vegas, we had better convert it to Vegas more friendly video format like MPEG-2 or WMV. If you temporarily have no idea about what to do, you can take Pavtube Video Converter (Best Video Converter Review) into consideration which is able to convert all kind of the AVI files in different codecs into MPEG-2 or WMV for Sony Vegas. The conversion is darn easy to be finished with only three clicks without loss of video quality.

Also with it you can adjust video and audio parameters, including the Bitrate of Video and Audio, the Codec of Video and Audio, Video Size, Sample Rate, Frame Rate, Audio Channels... make it more suitable for the Sony Vegas or other NLEs.

Besides Sony Vegas, this program can help you convert then import AVI video to Adobe Premiere ProPremeire ElementWindows Movie Maker, DaVinci Resolve and more NLEs.

The trail-before-purchase is supported, just feel free to try it:

          
If you are running on Mac, and have the issue to import and edit AVI files with Final Cut Pro 7 / X, FCE, Avid Media Composer, Adobe After Effects, etc. please get the Mac Version.


Warm tip: The conversion speed is very fast because it supports batch conversion and NVIDIA CUDA & ATI Stream (AMD APP) acceleration technologies. It converts multiple video clips at the same time, moreover it can shut down computer after the process is complete, so run the app overnight and you could enjoy the created videos next morning when you are up.

How to Convert and Import All AVI Files to Sony Vegas Pro

Step 1. Click the button “File” to add AVI files (or directly drag and drop your files) to the Converter.



Tips: When the AVI files are loaded to the Pavtube Video Converter, you can view the videos from the Preview window. Simply select an item and click the “Play” button. When the video is playing, you are allowed to take snapshoot.

Step 3. You can click “settings” to adjust the output parameters, like resolution, bitrate, etc. Don't forget the balance between video quality and size. 



Step 4. Last, click the "Convert" button to start AVI to Sony Vegas Pro conversion. 

That's all you are required to do. In fact, this video converter can help you do more.

How-to: Edit MP4 in Sony Movie Studio

MP4 & Sony Movie Studio issue

I have many mp4 clips, but they won't open in Sony Movie Studio 11. Is there a way to get them in and work with them in a quick and lossless way?

I'm trying to import footage (.MP4 format) that was shot on a Sony EX1 camera into Sony Movie Studio. Unfortunately Movie Studio won't allow me to import it and an error message comes up saying; "Warning: An error occurred while loading the project file. The file is most likely corrupted or of an unknown format."

Movie Studio is consistently showing a black preview screen and black rendering of MP4 clips after I put a certain number of source files in my project media bins or clips on the timeline, and the program even crashes and shuts itself down. Although the video goes black in the preview and also the renders, the audio still plays perfectly fine.


Why, why, why?

Actually, Sony Movie Studio supports MP4, but it only prefers MPEG-4 codec instead of others. However, MP4 as a container format can include various video codecs. So if your MP4 files are not accepted by Sony Movie Studio, it's probably because of the video codec incompatibility. 

What video format can import into Movie Studio? 

Supported format: AAC, AA3, AIFF, AVI, BMP, CDA, FLAC, GIF, JPEG, MP3, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MVC, OGG, OMA, PCA, PNG, QuickTime, SND, SFA, W64, WAV, WDP, WMA, WMV, XAVC S. 

Yes, you can convert MXF video to Movie Studio editable format.

As I know, MPEG-2 is a good editing format for Sony Movie Studio. So, you can convert MP4 footage to MPEG-2! This is the easiest and most efficient way to make Sony Movie Studio work with MP4 files without crashes or other glitches.

How to import MP4 files to Sony Movie Studio?

Pavtube Video Converter (Review)is high recommended for you, which can help you change MP4 into a different format like MPEG-2 with least quality loss. You should then be able to import the new file into Sony Movie Studio with smooth editing without any trouble. 

Besides transcoding MP4 to Sony Movie Studio supported videos with optimized settings while keeping the video quality, the all-in-one and easy-to-use toolkit can convert all other popular video formats like AVI, MXF, MOV, WMV, MKV, FLV, MTS, VOB, etc. to Sony Vegas ProAdobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Avid Media ComposerWindows Movie Maker natively supported video formats on Windows with fast encoding speed.

The trail-before-purchase is supported, just feel free to try it, it is 100% clean and safe:

How to Get FCP X/7 Work with All MP4 Video files

According to official spec, we can clearly find that Final Cut Pro X/7 support MP4 files although, sometimes still we encounter various issues when importing MP4 to Final Cut Pro X/7. That's because Final Cut Pro X/7 are only confined to MP4 encoded with H.264 currently, if your MP4 video encoded with other codecs which are unfriendly with Final Cut Pro X/7, you'll fail to edit MP4 files on Final Cut Pro X/7.

When comes to MP4 video, Final Cut Pro X/7 can accept most of them, like Flip MP4, Sony bloggie MP4, YouTube MP4, etc. However, this doesn't always work. There are still dozen of .mp4 files can't be imported into the Final Cut Pro X/7.

In fact, weather you can put MP4 into Final Cut Pro X/7 or not all depends on what codec inside the .MP4 files. MP4 is a video container format which may contain different codecs like MPEG-4, H.264, DivX, H.263, etc. Though Final Cut Pro 7 and Final Cut Pro X update to import MP4 video, it only support MP4 encoded with H.264. 

If the MP4 is encoded with other video codec, Final Cut Pro X/7 will still fail to import MP4. We need to find another way to perform the task. As we all know, the most compatible video codec for Final Cut Pro X/7 is Apple ProRes, then transocoding MP4 files to ProRes with a third party program is an easy way to edit MP4 videos in FCP.

Of course, to do the video conversion, you need a professional app. Here the professional MP4 to FCP Video Converter for Mac is strongly recommended. Named Pavtube Video Converter for Mac (El Capitan included). It is able to transcode XAVC files to FCP compatible ProRes 422, ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes Proxy, ProRes 422 LT, ProRes 4444 video.

Plus, you may also encode MP4 to iMovie, FCE, Avid MC and more NLE programs highly compatible formats for smooth editing. Besides, it might help you change MP4 to other frequent formats like MOV, MKV, AVI, etc for playback on media devices.

The trail-before-purchase is supported, just feel free to try it:

          

How to Get Convert MP4 to Apple ProRes for Final Cut Pro X/7

Notes: 
1.When converting video to Final Cut Pro oriented format templates(e.g. Apple Prores), please ensure that your computer has Final Cut Pro installed, otherwise the converted files will have audio only without image.

2.If you are using FCP X, please make sure you have installed ProApps QuickTime Codecs, or you may get files with sound only without video.

Step 1. Click the “Add File” button to select the MP4 videos from your hard drive to this program. To save your time, this program supports batch conversion so you can add multiple files at a time. 



Tips: When the MP4 files are loaded to the Pavtube Video Converter, you can view the videos from the Preview window. Simply select an item and click the “Play” button. When the video is playing, you are allowed to take snapshoot.

Step 2. Choose output format, to edit videos on Final Cut Pro X/7 native codec, you are recommended to choose Final Cut Pro -> Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov), it’s best for Final Cut Pro X editing. 



Read the difference of ProRes. 

• Apple ProRes 422 – Higher quality than Apple ProRes 422 (LT); 
• Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) – Keep original video quality for editing in FCP; 
• Apple ProRes 422 (LT) – Get a smaller file sizes than Apple ProRes 422; 
• Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy) – SD levels – 480i/p and 576i/p. Used in offline workflows.

Actually, different Apple ProRes codec corresponds to different needs. Here you can refer to this article "Differences among Apple ProRes codec".
