Hello All,
So recently got My GoPro Hero 6 and I've run into a interesting issue. I can import the files as normal but after I've let Vegas 15 build the peaks it I try to preview the footage. The audio is just a bunch of noise/crackling. The video format is the new hevc format GoPro has for their 4k 60FPS recording. The video is fine except its difficult for the preview window to keep up (this is normal for the most part). it's just the audio that I can't live or work with.
Please post MediaInfo and Vegas file properties so we can see which codec is getting used.
Also it would be great if you could share an example file (e.g. on Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, mega.nz, wetransfer.com or mediafire.com) so the developers can take a look. I don't think we've had a Hero6 HEVC issue reported on the forum before.
Make sure you are on the latest VP15 build 216.

I am running VP15 build 216
Link below contains the video and audio in .mp4 file and a secondary .wav for raw audio
Yes it's quite odd that my phone and everything else I've tried has no problems editing or viewing it. I tried it on a friends premiere pro and it worked fine too. So not sure what the culprit is.
The Magix developers are probably not sure what the culprit is either, but they are likely the only ones that can fix it in Vegas Pro. Have you tried converting the media to a different form such as Cineform using tools from the GoPro site?

I have not. I will try it and if it works I will use it for the time being. That being said I hope to not have to continue to convert to edit in Vegas because it would add much more time to my editing time. I hope they find a fix or at least state the problem and a time table for a fix soon.
@Deth52 Thanks for the info and the sample.
A straight FFmpeg re-wrap fixes this and leaves both the audio and video untouched.
Re-wrap one file:
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -c:v copy -c:a copy out.mp4
Convert all in one folder:
for %%a in ("*.mp4") do ffmpeg -i "%%a" -vcodec copy -acodec copy "%%~na.mp4"
For usage and background see this thread about iPhone footage.
If you normalize the first 2 channels of the WAV file, you can see that the stereo audio is in them. So another alternative would be to bring the MP4 and WAV files to the timeline > Delete the MP4s' audio track > Delete the 3rd and 4th tracks of the WAV > Group the audio events on the 1st and 2nd channels of the WAV file with the corresponding video event > Normalise audio if necessary.
Another alternative is to right click the audio event of the MP4 files and choose Channels > Right Only. You'll only be getting one channel but at least it's correct.
Please leave the sample online so I can alert the developers to it.
Now I'm highly surprised.
I'm now on my laptop and there also I tried the downloaded GOPRO 6 file...
@Cornico That is surprising. Is mxhevcplug.dll still being used? Which GPU acceleration mode do you have set?
Well the HEVC codec in VP15 is called "Intel HEVC". *Maybe* it's using the graphics in our CPUs, if there are any, regardless of your other settings, and without us having any knowledge of that. And *maybe* your Intel graphics support these files better than others, or none.
Hi.
I experienced the same issue...
I can open and read my file under win7 with MPC-HC reader ( I have the video and sound and working 100% )
When I open the file in sony vegas pr 15 ( build 216 ) : I have the video but sound is horrible, crackling and so one... I need this sound to be able to syncho the one I am recording with my zoom H5 ( as the sound from the go pro is bad ) but I need a reference ;-) and for the moment, it is impossible.

I made a test and used Handbrake to reencode the video into H.264 without loosing any quality and opened the new file into Sony Vegas Pro 15 and ho miracle sound is working...
This is fixed in VEGAS Pro 15 build 311. "Audio from HEVC video shot with the GoPro HERO6 is now properly supported".
