HDV veg Import From Vegas 12 only 4 x 3 Aspect.

When I import an HDV veg project (Windows 10 Pro) from Vegas 12   to Vegas 14 edit the 1440 x 1080 is permantly reduced to 4 x 3 . I have the latest Nvidia driver for my Geforce 8800 512 video card. The project has HDV footage and a mixture of stills. There is also no video card listed in the GPU acceleration box listed as it was in Windows 7 in either Vegas 12 or 14. With an empty timeline I also tried bringing in through media import an HDV file and it still will not apply the proper aspect even I set it manually in properties. So now do I have to redo the whole project again in Vegas 12?

Welcome to your new role as a paying beta tester.

Nick hope has already logged that VP14 cannot handle m2t files well which I suspect you are loading via the veg file.  With luck this will be corrected with the first update but you might have to wait until early 2017 if my experience with VP11 is anything to go by.

I know tape is regarded as somewhat 'old fashioned' which probably how it got missed by the 'beta' testers.

But it beggers belief how Sony/Magix screwed up such an established feature.

I forgot to mention that Cineform/Neocene captured files are the avi's I am trying to import. They work well on Vegas 12.

That is strange. You're choosing "1.3333 (HDV 1080)" from the Pixel aspect ratio menu, right?

What was the source of your HDV files? I have found in VP14 that it doesn't like HDV files captured with VidCap but it's OK with files captured with HDVSplit or rendered out of Vegas. See https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/vp14-bug-hdv-files-and-projects-hanging-or-crashing--103590/?page=1#ca642366

If you post some or all of this info it will help us notice if something's not right:

  • MediaInfo text report
  • Text output of the [right click on file] > Properties > General window showing the codec used
  • Screenshot of your project properties
  • An actual sample file somewhere

I have the latest Nvidia driver for my Geforce 8800 512 video card... ...There is also no video card listed in the GPU acceleration box listed as it was in Windows 7 in either Vegas 12 or 14.

I think I've read of people having some success with that sort of issue by reinstalling the video card driver after installing Vegas. Also there are some big and nasty Windows updates knocking around and causing trouble at the moment. If one of those has been applied to your PC recently then it might be worth reinstalling the video card driver after it.

When I check the properties settings it is locked solid on 1 x 1 and if I change it nothing happens. I will try the

video card driver again.

I did find a work around my problem. If I right click on the clip on properties it shows 1 x 1 ratio. So I changed it to 1.33 and it worked. So I set the properties menu under file t0 1.333 then after loading click on the clip and select 1.333 and it goes to full screen 16 x 9. Never had to do that before. So it looks like something got left out of Vegas 14 with the auto loading of the Cineform clips properties
