I updated Vegas to 22 and I can no longer open my project

Hi!!

It says that some media files have been modified enough that the project file's media stream properties are not being applied. The default media stream properties were used. I'm desperate because I need to deliver this project on Sunday. I just tried reinstalling, but I had no success. Maybe I should downgrade? If so, where would I get the previous version? Thank you very much!

Unfortunately, the error text is not in English and the text cannot be copy/pasted from the uploaded image for translation into English. Could you please translate into English the error messages which is the default language on this forum. Otherwise, you'll probably be relying only on those on the forum familiar with your local language (Spanish?) for a response.

Olá, @Dexcon!

I live in Brazil and didn't realize my mistake. Sorry!

But the translated error is:

""The media file "X" has been altered sufficiently that the project file's media streaming properties are not applied. The default media streaming properties have been used.""

The same error occurs for about 30 different files, all of which have the same format and codec as the other 300 files that don't appear in this list.

My project appears completely black, and I can't see anything in Preview.

@Lucas-CURY6377

My advice for you...

If you think that Vegas 22 is implicated, it would be simple to open the project in 21 if it still resides on your machine and you have not saved the project in 22. If Vegas Pro 21 is no longer installed, you could log on to your account on the Magix Service Center where you can download the installers for old versions.

What I do...

I would restore the system image that I took before I installed a version upgrade to a mission-critical piece of software.

@Lucas-CURY6377

Could you provide a MediaInfo readout of one of the files you are having issues with...and possibly a sample file that is not opening in VP 23?
