Like the title said, I just installed Vegas Pro 19 and my older projects all show videos as green ones. I tried reimporting the file and deleting the .sfk companion file, but it still appears green. Any help? The issue: https://i.imgur.com/IeBmatw.png
@Solstice Hi, you can upload pictures using the arrow button next to the smiley at the top of a comment, this is your pic
Hi, you need to read this link https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/important-information-required-to-help-you--110457/ & inc as much of the info as poss, right click on the taskbar at the bottom of desktop - Taskmanager - Performance will give you CPU, GPU & amount of Memory, what Vegas & Windows version,
Check you Graphics drivers are up to date, you can do this in the ?Help tab - Check for drivers.
Also what type of media are you trying to import, in the pic it shows a variety but there's a tool called MediaInfo, download it, it's free https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo
After downloading, right click on the media in your Windows folder, open MediaInfo, choose Text from the View option, select all, copy & paste in a comment here,

My drivers seem up to date from the Vegas Help menu.
VEGAS Settings:
Hardware decoding is on for HEVC files and uses NVIDIA NVDEC
GPU acceleration is on and uses the RTX card
Project properties:
This should be all, let me know if I missed something.
@Solstice Thanks, as far i can tell from my limited knowledge it all looks fine, you don't need HEVC decoder as that file is AVC but it shouldn't make a difference to the image in the project window.,
I don't know what - 'Writing application : Lavf58.76.100' is though apart from the little Google tells me, does other media show ok in the Project Media window,
Also although some have no prob with Windows 11 - VEGAS Pro 19 "does not officially support Windows 11 yet". https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/vegas-pro-19-and-support-for-windows-11--132810/
you can also try reinstalling Graphics drivers,
go to C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local\VEGAS Pro\19.0, delete everything, Vegas will take a moment when opening next time but will rebuild al those files,
& if you want to do a deeper clean, on your PC - Settings - Storage - Temporary files - delete everything,
@Gid Tried these, project's still broken. Guess I'll stick to VEGAS Pro 18 till 19 is confirmed to work on Windows 11. Thanks again for the help.
@Solstice If you want to you could upload the file to Google Drive or dropbox etc & someone with W11 will try it out, I searched OBS Studio but i don't use that so can't try it out, i have seen a few posts about that tho, https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/faq-what-obs-studio-settings-work-well-with-vegas-pro--109925/
I'd love to be able to upload the raw file, but while recording I didn't ever take into account that I should have to upload it somewhere, and had some private stuff on my screen, sorry... I will try the things mentioned in the link you sent though, hopefully new recordings won't have this issue.
