I can't import more than two video clips in Sony Vegas Studio Platinum

Hi.

I'm just trying to use Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10.0 again after a long time of not using it.

It only lets me import two video clips, then this error report box comes up, then vegas shuts down.

I know this is a fairly old programme, but surely it should still work ok?

I recently had to re-install this from disc on a new Win 11 machine

This is not so slowly driving me crazy. All I'm trying to do is very basic editing of several videos into one, with very simple transforms, and one video split/repeat/ enlarge, and to add a very simple title.

I've been at this for several days now, first trying to use Adobe Rush -- which is in my paid photography plan, but apparently doesn't allow me to save anything unless I upgrade!!

Please, any help/suggestions/whatever very gratefully recieved.

Cheers.

Steve.

@Steve-Marsh3386 Hi, your image doesn't show the full info of the media you're using?

If this is recent footage that you're using it could well be MP4 HEVC, this is a newer version of MP4 AVC, your VMS 10 won't be compatible with MP4 HEVC, you'll need to upgrade Vegas or convert your footage to MP4 AVC.

Of course it could be something else but more info on your video media would be helpful -

There's an App called MediaInfo, download it, it's free & a fast download with no added adverts or any of that rubbish https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo.
After downloading, right click on the media file in your Windows folder, open MediaInfo, choose Text from the options at the top, drag the edges of the window that pops up so it shows all the information & screen capture that page, post that image on here using the arrow button next to the smiley at the top of a new comment 👍

Or Copy & paste the information in a new comment like this -

PS..Your project is 29.97i & your footage is 120fps.. ?
