Vegas can't find clips when I open my saved project?

For help and discussion concerning the Sony Vegas software.

Vegas can't find clips when I open my saved project?

Postby Paty Punk » Sun Sep 16, 2007 4:27 am

I have this weird problems for some time already and lost lots of the stuff I was working on and I really want to get this problems fixed.

Anyways, When I work on a Video and save it, close vegas and then open it when I want to continue the Video, a box appears that tells me that vegas couldn't find my clips (even though they are still in the same folder and nothing changed there). Now when I close that box, it shows me still my timeline and I see where I set cuts and FX and all the stuff I edited, but the clips are just replaced..with "black nothing"..

I hope anyone can help.

First question is - in what codec are you rendering your file?

Second question - could you please quote full message here?

Thrird question - what codec you using for your footage?

That doesn't matter in this case, since it doesn't have anything to do with the rendering. The clips are all black right in the program after opening it.

I'm currently not on my computer, so I can't quote the full message, sorry, but I think it said something about "video stream not found"...

I'm editing with Xvid footage (FourCC changed to DIVX so they work in vegas). My computer has extremly low space, so there is no way I could edit with a losless codec.

M-JPEG (depending on the quality level you set, it can be large, and can introduce slight to significant quality loss, however it is very fast)
AVISynth (doesn't involve making a large file, but can be slow and is not supported well by all editing software)

I can't find this one anywhere in the avaiable codecs...

From what I know is, that vegas doesn't support avisynth..

Then buy a new HDD. In fact,I've noticed that using XviD/DivX files is even slower,than editing with lossless files. And there's no other way around it. I've bought a new HDD,because I couldn't take editing with XviD/DivX anymore.

.. alright-alright, enough already .. hehe . geez . òó .

.. there are plenty of ways around low Hard Drive space including what I do; which is, Edit what I need and save it as .VOB files "on a blank DVD R/W" and then combine everything from "those DVD's" later.

.. Hard Drive Space is not that expensive at 38¢ a gig. ( based on a 330gig WD HD )

.. just about any Video Editing System out today can handle DVD RIPPED inputs. They are quite a bit smaller than Huffy Codec's and merge together quite well in Editing Systems 8-)

.. Hard Drive Space is not at a premium these days, so save yourself a lot of head ache's and use some common sense. You didn't make it out of Jr. High and into Sr. High because the teachers liked you -- you got there because you could Solve Problems On Your Own.

I didn't understand this one.

It's quite expensive over here in Germany, usually a 100GB harddrive costs about 100€, at least thats the price I usually see it for.

I have about 4 GB free..I don't even have the space to save the VOB's, that's why Kev saves me the Xvid's and puts them on CD, so I can get them on my comp ><

There was something that just came in my mind..

Try to re-install Xvid on your computer, that might work O.o


if anything fails...

Try to save the project as uncompressed or losless file before you close your project and next time you edit, you put that file back into your program and keep on editing..but the suck would be that you wont be able to change anything on that part then..

so try to do all the other stuff before doing that...
