Timecode in source file doesn't appear in Vegas

James Moore wrote on 2/7/2018, 6:17 PM

I'm dropping clips into Vegas Pro build 216 that have source timecode embedded in them. Quicktime sees it, Resolve sees it, After Effects sees it but I can't get Vegas to see it. I've done this in the past and it worked. Am I missing something? Is it broken? This is causing great difficulties in exporting an XML for final finishing in Resolve.

Do you see same issue in latest build 261?

Holy smokes batman, I feel like I've tumbled down a rabbit hole. I can't even figure out how to update the beast. Nothing in the about window for checking for new updates, no link easily found yet....

Just check "My products" in your personal Magix web account and download Vegas Pro from there. This is latest build.

Sorry 'bout that. I confused myself with having built new machines. Seems I had upgraded the other machine but not this one.

Anyway, got Build 261 going and, yes, the same problem.

I have the original Pro Ress 444 file with timecode in it and neither Vegas 14 or Vegas 15 sees it. I made a proxy of the file (mp4) in Resolve and Vegas 14 sees the timecode but Vegas 15 doesn't

Turn off SO4. This is known issue.

ProRes is not decoded by So4.

The original client supplied footage was Pro Res 444. I used Resolve to create MP4 proxies of the original footage.

Build 261 did not see the timecode in either file.

I disabled So4 and Vegas was able to see the timecode in the MP4. It still can't see it in the Pro Res file.

Will disabling So4 cause problems for me elsewhere?

It will cause you calm and peace because of much lesser bugs) But if you'll experience problems with sound with ProRes, turn SO4 ON for Prores/HEVC audio.
