Hi . Im new to sony vegas an I feel so disappointed with all the issues that are arising. I had no problems with the trial version,but ever since I bought the program I am literally unable to do anything.

First issue I would like to address is the red screen appearing when I open event/pan crop. I am working on a video that I split into 5 shorter clips. The thumbnail in the timeline for these videos show a gray track instead of the video content and when I open the event pan crop on the shorter clips , instead of showing me an image the screen is a red rectangle.

Can anyone please help me out!

Sorry, but which one is it you’re experiencing issues with? Is it Sony Vegas or is it Vegas Pro 14?

Don't know how Vegas Pro 14 would react to this, but...

Do you have the video track muted?

No my video tracks are not muted. Here is what I'm getting

1) no thumbnail on the clip ( not showing its content ,see highlighted purple track)

2) Event pan/ Crop is red

I agree with oldsmoke. Push all windows updates including the .NET updates if they are optional. Verify that your GPU, Sound, Bios, and Chipset drivers are up to date. Maybe run SFC /scannow from an admin command prompt after updates and rebooting, this will verify your system files are unchanged. Memtest86+ from a reboot to verify your system has no memory issues.

what is your GPU anyways?

What is the codec in the .MOV file you are using, where did it come from?

Try changing the format of the MOV file to something like xdcam.mxf, or cineform.avi, and see if the problem still exists.

Unrelated: decompress your mp3 audio to PCM for editing.
