Sony Vegas and Windows Movie Maker are two different video editing software applications. You can't import a Sony Vegas project file into Windows Movie Maker (or vice-versa).However, once the Sony Vegas video is exported to a Standard file format that is compatible with Windows Movie Maker it can be imported.You can import files with the following file name extensions into Windows Movie Maker to use in your project:Video files: .asf, .avi, dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, .wmv
No unfortunately. Looking for a patch. Russ
Yes.
Yes, it is Windows-only software.
I think that Sony Vegas is just a Windows download. Correct me if I'm wrong.
No, Sony Vegas supported to import follow video formats: DV, AVCHD, HDV, SD/HD-SDI, and all XDCAM
not at the moment it just supports windows.
yes
Yes I would because in Sony Vegas, you can crop, turn and a lot more stuff. I use Sony Vegas for all my videos.
Windows User: On Sony Vegas click File, then Render As, click on the drop down menu and save as .avi then go to windows movie maker and import it. Then publish it so that it goes to .wmv file. Then go to youtube and upload. Mac or Apple or Linux User: On Sony Vegas click File, then Render As, and save it as .avi. Then google "media converter" and choose the converter of your choice. Click on Browse, find your file, then select your output as .wmv and upload on to youtube. OR ON WINDOWS YOU CAN JUST SAVE IT AS AN AVI FILE AND UPLOAD IT.....
Sony Vegas (and other video editing software effects/transitions) are not compatible/interchangeable with Windows Movie Maker.The only way to use effects produced on Sony Vegas (or other software application) is by importing the finalized/exported clips which already include the effects on them.
