Video looks weird in Sony Vegas?

So I was recording some Battlefield 4 for the fun of it, and I was replaying it in VLC media player to check it out and it was perfectly fine, but when I put it into Sony Vegas 14 to do some final editing it was all distorted. I cant tell what the problem is much less solve it.

Those red circles show some color, but for the most part the rest is just completely grey, in VLC it has no problem showing its colors. When I use Shadowplay to save some of my footage, I can put it into Sony Vegas no problem.

So it leads me to say its OBS doing it, but in OBS I have 3 tracks, one for my mic, game audio, and general desktop audio, unlike in Shadow play which just has one video and one audio, so I can't actually be sure.

I use OBS version 19.0.3 for recording, Sony Vegas 14 for my editing.

I could really use the help guys.

General Specs:

i5-7600K CPU @3.80GHz

NVidia GTX 1060 6gb

16gb of RAM

2TB HDD

256gb SSD

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

You might try Xsplit and be sure to enable the constant frame rate setting.

OBS records in a variable frame rate that most Professional editors do not edit well. Video Pros want constant frame accurate recording, and vegas is inflexible with this. Vegas will attempt to convert the variable frame rate footage on the fly and conform it, but I believe this introduces errors.

So have suggested running the OBS footage through Handbrake 1st, then editing the result. You do drop a generation with this however.

I've been toying around with XSplit since I saw this, I quite like it, I might make the switch once I get all my settings set up, thanks for the idea

In my experience OBS Studio records in constant frame rate (verified with MediaInfo) and the files work very well in Vegas. These are my usual settings:

Try disabling GPU acceleration. See #4 in this post.
