Choppy video in Vegas Pro 11

Hi

I have ski clips taken with my GoPro HD Hero 2 camera (at 720p 60fps) and I want to edit them in Sony Vegas Pro 11.

When I previewed clips in Splash Lite software, everything looked perfectly fine.

I opened a GoPro .mp4 file in Vegas 11 and the video shown in the preview box within Vegas programme was choppy.

So, I converted the video into .avi file using GoPro Cineform Studio. Unfortunately, even the .avi file was choppy when opened in Vegas 11. Furthermore, even Splash Lite could not play that newly created avi file (only could hear the sound).

Anyone has any suggestions regarding how to play a stable file in Vegas 11? Is there a codec that I need to install? My PC has good specs and should not be a problem.

Thanks,
Vlad

Try this:



If you're still choppy, set your preview to Preview (Half):

Thanks Jerry.

Unfortunately, these solutions do not help.

I just tried to run the same AVI and MPEG-4 files on Vegas Pro 8, which I still have on my PC and the quality of the AVI file playback (but not of MPED-4) was much better - i.e. any delay was almost unnoticeable.

It would be disappointing, however, if I had to use the older product for editing.
