hello friends, I have a problem in Vegas PRO 18.0.
When im improting videos from my iPhone 12, i can drag them but it doest show the video but i can hear the audio .
I had to reset my pc because i had an issue with it, but before the reset i could import the into Vegas PRO 18.0 and it would work fine ..
I tried to enable the Quicktime Plugin and also the legacy HEVC decoding it doesn't work.
Please help !
My setup :
Intel core i7 9700K
16gb ram 2133 mhz
Amd radeon rx 570 4GB Gaming
Please provide the media info from your media file

Vegas generally does not like 'variable frame rate' media. It has been suggested more than a few times by the forum's in-house experts to convert / transcode using Handbrake or HOS (Happy Otter Scripts).
The problem is that you are recording in HDR which uses the proprietary DolbyVision. Vegas cannot currently decode such footage. Switch to recording in normal HD or 4K and it should be OK. This issue has been raised in a number of other recent threads.
Vegas Pro 18 can import DolbyVision HDR files from the Iphone. I have it working here. Vegas can't use the additional Dolby metadata but it does work as a HDR HEVC file (if you are editing HDR set that in the project settings to switch to 32-bit full range mode).
Under File I/O, do not check enable legacy HEVC decoding or it won't work. QuickTime plugin does nothing for this.
I just tested and it works with the Intel decoder (if you have an Intel integrated GPU). Before it wasn't working with hardware decoding= off, but I think it is working now. Can you share a screenshot of your file i/o tab?
This is what I have from Filmic Pro. Happy to test your file if you can upload a short clip somewhere.

okay ill do that
Oh, can you upload somewhere other than here? For example Google Drive, a file sharing service, etc. I can't download the original video from the forum.
Forum video attachment will convert the format. just like RogerS said, please upload on Google Drive / Dropbox / etc.
Vegas18 won't load Iphone12 dolbyVision files using any external GPU decoder or software decoder. It only works with intel GPU decoder apparently which makes editing with a AMD cpu impossible and and only available to intel people if the integrated GPU is available. Often turned off in laptops, doesn't work without a monitor plugged into motherboard video port on older cpu's , Often turned off by Vegas users due to incompatibilities when running an external GPU. Some intel GPU's don't have the integrated GPU.
So by rogers saying "Vegas Pro 18 can import DolbyVision HDR files from the Iphone. I have it working here." it should be true for you, but not true for the majority of vegas users.
Based on what you've said when you reset your file io setting probably changed from using the intel GPU for decoding to use Nvidia, or the other problem early VP18's had was not using your GPU decoder at all.
I believe it should say auto (intel), if it says auto Nvidia, or Auto off, see if you can manually change to intel
I was given a tipoff that other Magix products played the Iphone12 videos just fine. Problem is just with Vegas. Sure enough Magix Video ProX is seen playing an Iphone12 DolbyVision 4K60 HEVC file in HLG HDR with an Nvidia GPU decoding.
Magix this is really disgraceful. VegasPro should be the premier product and get the best and fastest support, but 4 months after release of newest models of most popular phone Brand on the US market, it's still not supported. 5 months after the ground breaking Sony a7S III and latest release rtx3000 series video cards there is still not full support. I get the feeling Magix are deliberately killing off this product but the official reason for it being discontinued will be lack of demand. Outrageous!
I don't know if this is relevant but the latest build 204 of Vegas Movie Studio 17 Platinum broke the Quicktime plug-in so files that need it don't play. But mov files that can open using "so4compoundplug.dll" are okay.
Could this also be the problem with Vegas Pro?
I rewrapped to mp4, but the identical problem appears. It looks to be a programming fault as vegas seems to be forcing decode by intel IGPU , even though I am using an AMD cpu and is why people using intel IGPU as GPU decoder are able to view the video. They are experiencing the same bug, but luck is on their side
I think the forced decoding is intentional. I tried to set to off and NVIDIA but found that it still used the Intel decoder, presumably as they are the only one that supports this file type. Hopefully that will expand, especially software decoding so anyone can use it.
I remember seeing this before with certain HEVC videos. Nvidia set for GPU decode, but intel igpu was doing the decoding. An interesting thing to observe and thought nothing more of it, but now I realise on my AMD cpu I would have got the black screen seen with dolbyVision files. I can see why the Magix staff recommend Intel decoder, now that the AMD cpu market is so huge for home desktops and laptops Nvidia should have equal support. Amd gpu's too, but they're always the worst and last supported
I also saw this with 10-bit HEVC from the a7sIII. I think it is intentional as the Intel hardware decoder is the best developed at this point.
I'm sure software decoder support will broaden going forward. We did see AMD GPUs getting at least basic hardware decoding support in Vegas somewhat after NVIDIA did.
