Hey Guys,

Whenever I film a video with my Flip camera and bring it into Sony Vegas for editing, only the audio track appears with no vision.

Any ideas? Is their another file I should be importing?

Thanks,
Dale

      Flip should work with Vegas. I work in Pinnacle and AVS Vid editors. Vegas should open or import your video....

      Flip videos whether HD or regular opens up in .AVI format which is the standard format for editing. Edit while in .AVI and then save the final cut to MP4.

        Also, audio should be, by default, attached to the video file.

        When doing a vid in Flip it generates a .AVI and an index file.

    Probably missing a codec or something. Have you installed the Flip software? That will include the codec.

    I will have a look at the codec. I am using the flip software it's just when I take it into Vegas where I can't see the picture,

    I'll check it out,
    Thanks,

      Yes, if you are missing moving images, you are missing the codec file. For that, Google, "free codecs" for your operating system. Example, codecs for XP, Vista, etc. , Then just download the codec and go open up the vid in your player and you will see the images too.

      I just uploading the codec for a friend of mine this afternoon on her laptop after she couldn't see video but heard sound only. Best thing, is that you can download the codec for free from many sites.

        I had a similar problem a few times and it's always turned out to be due to a missing codec.

        Did you check their support page

          A lot of our clients our having this problem. You can choose to either convert the .avi's from the Flip Cam into an .avi (or other format) that Vegas likes. Or supposedly if you just plug in the camera and run the Flipshare software once, it installs those codecs for you.
