We usually saw Vegas users encounter prolems when attempting to import MOV files to Sony Vegas Pro (including the Vegas 13). Let's see some frequently asked questions on this.

Q1: Vegas won't play video for .mov!
I know this has been a problem for years, but I am hoping someone has found a workaround. I have a 1,000 gigs of video in .mov format and I don't want to spend a week converting it all and losing quality. Any chance Sony has figured this out yet?


Q2: Vegas 13 only import MOV files with audio
I'm trying to import .mov files into sony vegas pro 11 64 bit but all I get is audio. I've tried changing the extension of the file to .mp4 but that didn't work. I've done some research and it seems like the only other solutions are codecs, which I read could be bad for editing software, or converting the files themselves outside of vegas.
