And neither of you have posted a shred of information. This is not a support request, and not a complaint, because it contains no information. So what is this?

Start here, otherwise you are shouting at the wind.

I use both premier and Vegas on the daily and I see ABSOLUTELY ZERO reason to purchase Vegas or premier.

Sounds like a self- justification for theft.

This is a poorly written troll post and should be ignored.

@Lerc

You need Shotcut. Theoretically it supports mov, and there's absolutely zero reason to purchase, as it is FREE!

If you use Vegas daily you already purchased it. If you use Premier daily, you are paying a monthly fee for Adobe. If you use cracked (stolen) versions, stop complaining about anything. You can't be sure what code the "cracker" has overwritten, and/or what code that cracker (even malicious) has added, and that can introduce nasty thing to your system.

@tripleflip18

You can rewrap (almost) any .mov to mp4 with ffmpeg.

The command line is so complex:

ffmpeg -i input.mov -vcodec copy -acodec copy output.mp4

If you have Vegas newer than V14, the codecs should just work.

With V13 (and probably before) there were not all codecs working after rewrap, some of them Vegas interpreted just as flat green.

Give it a try!

@klt

Please note that your command line does not work if your mov file contains pcm audio. You will have to transcode to aac or render a new wave file. Unfortunately, FFmpeg does not "allow" pcm audio within the mp4 container. In the newer versions of FFmpeg, you cannot even trim an mp4 file with pcm audio that typically comes from a Sony or Panasonic camera. There have been quite a few complaints on the forums, but the developers seem to be pretty adamant regarding the container specs. Too bad.

Agreed.. It's weird when a person use cracked (stolen) versions and have the face to complain 😲

I have paid for my copy of Sony Vegas Pro 16 and overall i'm satisfied and want to love it, but truth be told, it keeps giving me grief. I tend to agree with the notion of slick marketing and new gimmicks without addressing the core issues. I fell for it with Vegas 14 and the automatic audio 'synchronization' which ended up never working as advertised. I still don't understand why the little yellow render carats that designate the render boundaries in Sony Vegas Pro 16 don't get saved with the project. It's maddening to have to set those, especially after the program crashed during a render. Last week, after rendering, the entire project mysteriously disappeared from my hard drive. Fortunately, i had a backup on an external drive. Now, when i go to render that project, instead of being 830 Megabites like the file whose project went missing, it renders to some astronomical size, basically filling the hard drive (20 gigs free) and crashing the software. I am working around all of these issues, still, I hope the developers will stay on track and try to fix the core issues, many of which seem well documented by users.

Sorry @Fresh but all this sounds a lot like "pilot error." Project files don't mysteriously get deleted unless your system is broken. Render controls are all there for YOU to set - you must have done something you didn't intend.

And it is very easy to save a region: Hit the R key and give it a name (or not). Done.

If you want some help from the forum on other issues, then please make a new thread and post all the relevant technical details. Many here are happy to help!

Thanks @wwaag,

I knew certain codecs possible in mov don't work in mp4. That's why I wrote "almost" :)

But I wasn't aware of this audio issue... So thanks for the warning! 😉
