I can`t import some .mov videos on VEGAS 23

LUCAS-OLIVEIRA wrote on 12/29/2025, 9:52 PM

I can’t use this video https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f3S5Bo9rxmjuKNsKH9O1Gjc2T7_LtfJh/view?usp=sharing in Vegas Pro 23 (it works in version 22).

I’ve already tried:

Reinstalling the QuickTime plugin

Disabling GPU acceleration

Enabling and disabling legacy AVC decoding and experimental HEVC decoding

@LUCAS-OLIVEIRA The Quicktime plugin has been deprecated in Vegas Pro for a long time. It is now gone for good. See this thread: Where did the Quicktime rendering option go?

Options:

  • Convert to Apple Pro Res 4444XQ in Vegas 22 or Shutter Encoder.
  • Convert to MagicYUV.
  • Render to Image Sequence in Vegas 22
  • Stay on Vegas 22

This is the media in question.
While there is no rendering pipeline using the Quicktime plug in in 23, the decoding support should still be there. I don't have that plugin installed so was only able to get the audio to work.

We still do decode some old formats with the QuickTime plugin

I have the QT plugin installed. Only the audio will show up in VP23.

yes, the same happens here when I disable legacy AVC, but I need the video.
I can’t use VP23 because of this issue. This is just one of more than 10 files where I’m having the same problem.

Reyfox wrote on 12/30/2025, 10:12 AM

@john_dennis suggested using Shutter Encoder (highly recommended to have in your video toolbox) to convert to a file format that Vegas can handle. It was quick and easy and does batch work.

Here is the file showing up now in VP23

Interesting. In Vegas Pro 22, you need both the Apple Quicktime Player installed and the VP deprecated QuickTime plugin feature enabled.

Yeah... I think Vegas should be supporting QT videos natively. Magix Video Deluxe and Video Pro X support the file.

AFAIK Vegas only supports Pro Res natively. All other QT unique codecs need QT installed.

My experience with VP23 Trial is identical. With QT player installed and the deprecated QT plugin enabled my old mov files (which are jpeg encoded and need QT) open perfectly with video and audio.

@Robert Johnston I have VPX14 where it loaded, albeit slowly. But once on the timeline, it played back smoothly. MMS2024, the same thing.

I can not comment on VPX17 though...

@Reyfox Video Pro X17 complains that QuickTime Player needs to be installed.

Which appears to indicate the Magix products don't support RLE encoding natively. They need QT Player or the QT Alternative to be installed.
