Hello all people, when we can import the video FFV1 on Vegas Pro please ? In the next Vegas Pro 23 ? Because the codec FFV1 is very good codec lossless

You need to convert it for use in VEGAS. It's not really used for editing. Try AVC, HEVC or AV1.

@aaronstanley75 If you don't want to throw away any of your FFV1 archival detail, you would need to convert to another lossless format Vegas can read. Lossless hevc works but is very processor intensive. There's also a 3rd party lossless codec with Vegas support I've tried that is inexpensive and edit friendly... MagicYUV.

Thanks for your feedback guys, it's a shame that Vegas Pro can't import FFV1, do you know if in the next version 23 we will be able to import this format? It would be really great if we could.

Just encoded a 23 min 4k video with 8bit 4:2:0 YUV = 163GB, the stunning AV1 at 53Mbit/s 7GB. The yuv is fast to render 112fps 5 min.
