.veg (Sony vegas project file)
Yes! Sony Vegas is a good program for editing movies. I have bought this program during Christmas. I had trials for Adobe Premier, Corel Video Studio, and Sony Vegas. In the end I chose Vegas. My school has bought Corel Video Studio and it was not a good decision. I say get Sony Vegas.
Sounds to me like your camera's video file format is not compatible with Sony Vegas. Check out the file name extension (format) of the camera video. You may need to convert the file to a format used by Sony Vegas. The same thing happens to me when importing media from my camera. I have to convert the file first if I wish to use it in Windows Movie Maker. Though I am able to import camera video into other programs I use, Windows Movie Maker is a totally different story. Since I don't use Sony Vegas, I can't vouch for this 100%, but I suggest you check this out first.
Sony Vegas movie studio hd platinum suite is better! You get the DVD authoring program, sound editing software plus extras!
I think that Sony Vegas is just a Windows download. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Why not try converting the mp4 to another file name extension(format) to see if it opens in Sony Vegas Pro? Can't hurt to try.
Sony Vegas "Movie Studio 8" does not let you mask. A Easy Solution That Is Free!, is To download "Inkscape" ( free adobe InDesign/Photoshop Cs3 Program) there you can easily create a lightsaber then import it into Sony Vegas. "Sony Vegas Pro 8.0" however will allow masking
Yes
MP4
Try Sony Vegas Movie Studio
yes
Sony Vegas accepts most file formats. However, some people have had difficulty with mp4 formats with Sony. I've always suggested converting them to another format you are sure is compatible with the program instead of enduring the frustration of trying to figure out why certain ones don't work.
You have to use a keygen to unpatch sony's security systems. Use digital insanity's sony keygen.
