[Resolved] Can't add mp3 to Movie Studio Platinum 13

joe-deshon wrote on 1/27/2017, 8:43 PM

I just upgraded from Vegas Video Pro 11 to Movie Studio Platinum 13.0.

Now, mp3 files don't work with the video editor.

When I try to add audio, mp3 files don't show up on the list.

When I manually drag an mp3 file to an audio track, it appears to accept it. but when it plays back, it sounds like garbage. A high-pitched screeching sound.

All the old project files that have mp3 files are doing the same thing when I try to open them in v13.

Rendering in mp3 is no longer an option.

Wave files appear to work fine. But I don't want to have to convert every mp3 file to wave.

I've already deleted v11 from my computer. I need to be work with mp3 files in v13.

Any help?

Great Cobaltmotari, to hear your mp3s are now okay.

I had a similar problem to previous poster. I had installed v14 (148) of suite with full set of add ons (more of a dog's breakfast than a suite IMHO). Appears that the various apps have some internal conflicts. upshot is that once you go through the install process faithfully and try and load mp3 media, you won't be able to, even though the mp3 dll is in the program file directory. the simple fix is to then uninstall the main app vegas movie studio, and reinstall. you should now be able to import mp3 files into your project. Hope this helps others.

I got a new laptop and transferred movie studio platinum 13 to my new computer. I'm having the same problem where audio files won't show up. How do I fix this? Because I just transferred it over I didn't get an email that lets you download an audio editor or DVD editor. I mean maybe I did when I first got the program two years ago but that's long gone now.

audio files won't show up

Do you mean you get no audio on the timeline? Use MediaInfo to help identify the properties of your media and how it was encoded. (A FAQ)

an email that lets you download

Another FAQ, points 3. and 4.

Did you try the pulldown menu to find "MP3 Audio [*.mp3)"?

Choose a preset template from the right to see mp3.
