Hey gang,
I need some immediate advice in regards to Sony Vegas 9 Platinum Pro. I copied one of the videos for my chapter for Storms of 2008 off the DVD one of my contributors sent me. The video, which is a .avi file, plays completely fine in Windows Media Player. But when I open it in Sony Vegas, half of the video stream disappears! The audio is still there, but I get nothing but a black screen in the Preview window.
I've tried deleting the file from the project and then re-importing it into the program, but the exact same thing happens every time.
I even deleted the video off my computer, recopied the .avi file from the DVD onto my hard drive and then re-imported it into Vegas, but again, the same parts of the video stream are missing.
I'm freaking out, as it is absolutely critical that I get my chapter submitted, but the missing parts of the video stream are the ones I need to use in the chapter! I know the video stream is not corrupt, because it would not show up in Windows Media Player if it was corrupted, but I can't figure out WTF would cause half the video stream to vanish, but the audio stream for the missing video to remain perfectly intact!
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this and/or how to fix it?
This is extremely important and time is of the essence - PLEASE help me if you can! Thanks!!!
