Running into an interesting problem. I'm following Eugenia's proxy instructions and the proxy files work wonderful in Platinum 9 BUT get the following errors when imported to Vegas Pro 9:
None of the files dropped on the Vegas Pro could be opened.

When importing the proxy file thru File>Import Media, generates the following error:
! Warning: An error occurred while opening one or more files. The file is an unsupported format.

The following settings identical in Plat 9 and Pro 9.

Platinum 9 Project Properties:

Vegas Pro9 Project Properties:

What am I missing in Pro 9?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
