Converting 60FPS MOV. to 60FPS MP4? (Vegas 14)

skedrc wrote on 5/26/2019, 12:34 PM

Hello, my first post here.

I recently shot some videos with my Iphone 7S (yes I know..) and I totally forgot that vegas doesn't like MOV. The video is in 60FPS 1080P, because I would like to slow some of the video down and put music over it. I attempted to use one of the cheesy online converters but it would only do 30FPS MP4, is there any way I can get the MOV into vegas while maintain the 60FPS?

Try Import Assist from Happy Otter Scripts.

Your iPhone material is Variable Frame Rate.

Vegas Pro 16 will handle it, but follow j_d's advice for earlier versions.

I think it is described in FAQ with enough details (I'd use ffmpeg CLI or Happy Otter Scripts)

I"M not familiar with happy otter, but you don't want to re-encode. you want to change containers. As an example vegas won't import MKV files, so it's normal to change the container to mp4, but you don't convert persevering original quality without having to create a huge intermediate. If you are having same problem with mov. just do the same with copying the audio and video into an mp4 container.

It's possible that's what Happy Otter Scripts does, and it's still free for now

(You never re-encode AVC unless you have to)

I think Happy Otter can do both transcode and rewrap into another format.

HOS can do both rewrap and transcode. First try a simple rewrap to an MP4 container.

If you have VFR footage, there is also an option to rewrap to a constant frame rate. The video is unchanged--only the timecode is altered. I have used this successfully with Samsung Note9 4K 60P footage for elimination of duplicate frames caused by VFR. Here is a link to a demo I did awhile back https://tools4vegas.com/variable-frame-rate-demo/

And finally, if all else fails, you can do a transcode to pretty much any format you like including lossless. Lots of options.
