Hello Folks, i have a big problem. I wanted to edit a new videofile, which i imported in Vegas Pro (final edition). The problem is, it occurs only in monochrome. I can edit it and so on, but were are the Colors gone? Ive tested to play in VLC and Windows Mediaplayer without problems and in Color. What can i do? The Videofile is still in Black/White Monochrome. Pleas help! Thank you in advance! (VEGAS PRO 1.50 Build 216) iam using Windows 10 64 bit with all kind of updates. Nvidia GTX 980Ti and I7-Hexacore processor.

That can be a result of a number of YUV mismatches; kindly post MediaInfo properties for the source.

There is a YUV colorspace mismatch in your source file. Vegas expects 1080p Mp4 to declare Bt.709.

Yours says Bt.470, which may be legacy SECAM.

Try Handbrake to convert first, otherwise there is likely a way to do it in ffmpeg, since it plays for you in VLC.

Hi and thank you! Ffmpeg isn’t that easy. I need a controlwindow and a windows Program. I will try to convert with Vegas pro into other colorspace I found the number that you posted me.

Try Handbrake.
