Make sure you are using the Movie Studio Platinum, and your project properties are setup correctly (the right frame rate, resolution etc, as the source footage).

How is the video previewing, is it choppy too?

Thanks for your response. I am trying to help my 10-year old son with this, so we need some hand holding. How do we know what project properties to use? Where do we enter these? Video is fine. Audio is now non-existent.

Thanks for your response.
We are using Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum - Version 10
For Quicktime - we have version 7.6.9

Sony Knowledgebase article 4233.

Quicktime 7.6.9 is brand new and not thoroughly tested on VMS10. Have you tried it with 7.6.8 instead?

Also sounds like your system might be a bit low on performance.
Specs please?

On Vegas, it’s very important to have the right project settings before you start editing. From the main menu select “Project Properties”, and a new dialog will pop up. In there, click the right outmost icon, the one that reads “Match Media Settings” when hovered with the mouse. From there, select one of the files you will be editing with, and click “open”. Vegas will now automatically fill up most of the project settings for you, after analyzing the video file you picked.

After it does that, you need to do a few changes manually to that dialog: For the de-interlacing option select “interpolate”, and for the Quality option select “Best”. In the “Audio” tab of the dialog, you can set “resample and stretching quality” to “Best”. You can save a new template with all these settings, so each time you start a new project with the same kind of footage, you can just pick it from the list! So, after your project settings are set, click “Ok”, and edit as you would normally do. Save often.

How fast is your PC btw? Which CPU model exactly, how much RAM?

Tried changing the project settings as you suggested, but still no sound. Video is not quite regular speed either. Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks

Install the trial of Vegas PRO 10 in parallel, it won't overwrite your own Vegas version. Setup project properties. Please tell us if the audio and video are still still choppy with Vegas Pro 10. If yes, you might need either a faster PC with more RAM, or it might be a Vegas bug. If not, then you need to wait for a new Platinum version.

Can you e more seecific re: computer processor? Is it a core 2 Duo or core 2 Quad? If it is a pentium or celeron class, it may just be a case of lack of computer processing power.
