Importing MOV files

jkerry wrote on 3/30/2022, 11:42 PM

I am having problems with import MOV files from NewTek Tricaster TC1 for our Vegas Pro 14. The recorded file is a QuickTime file. I have installed all of the NewTek Codec but still will not let me import the files. This is happening on a new system running Windows 10 Pro. It does import into an old version of Vegas 13 on a machine running Windows 7.

Any assistance would be great.

@jkerry - Firstly check you have QT checked under Deprecated Tab in Preferences. Try that.

Unfortunately, I don't think that Vegas Pro 14 has a Deprecated Features tab in Options/Preferences, that tab not being introduced until Vegas Pro 17.

Did you install QuickTime?

The Deprecated Features is not available in Vegas 14 like Dexcon said. And yes QuickTime is installed to the last version available.

Are you sure this device produces mov files in an old format that Quicktime uses? Did you check MediaInfo for the files?

This what the MedeiaInfo shows

Container and general informartion
MPEG-4(QuickTime): 61.4 GiB, 1 h 22 min
1 video stream: SHQ2
1 audio stream: PCM()

So it appears that this is a QT format video, unless I am reading it wrong. Never used this program for the info.

Looks to be a codec by NDI, Try installing drivers. If given an option install just the drivers

Thanks for the info. But I already have NDI Tools installed on the system. Also the NewTek Codec Installed also. Neither of them help with the MOV files.

If nothing will open this, consider re-encoding for use in Vegas. Handbrake can make standard AVC files (try the production preset) or Shutter Encoder can do that or convert to lightly compressed ProRes.

You can also try the NewTek forums (I see a thread suggesting to re-encode for FinalCut): https://forums.newtek.com/

SHQ2 used to work with VP14 with codecs and Quicktime.

Try shutter encoder to trandcode, based on FFMPEG it most likely is compatible as FFMPEG does have NDI support. Some codecs or all? Not sure.
