It is officially stated that MOV is supported by Sony Vegas Pro. However, many people still encounter problems when importing MOV files to Sony Vegas Pro for further editing. And there are some frequently asked questions quoted below:
Q1: Problem with .mov files
When I try to add a .mov file to the timeline in Vegas 12 or Vegas 9, I get an error message telling me I need to install Quicktime. Quicktime IS installed. I did a fresh install of the latest version of Quicktime 7.7.7, and I STILL get the same message.
Q2: Vegas Pro 12 won’t import .MOV files
I’m using Sony Vegas Pro 12 Build 770 64-bit. I just did a complete wipe of my machine and a fresh install of everything. Now SVP 12 will not directly import .MOV files. Honestly, I’m not sure it ever did. I previously had both 11 and 12 installed and continued to use 11 for older projects. I don’t frequently deal with .MOV files.
You may say: since MOV is said to be supported, why Sony Vegas doesn’t accept my MOV files? Well, that’s because MOV is a container instead of a codec. If the MOV contains a video codec that Sony Vegas can’t recognize, for instance, DivX, Sony Vegas Pro (including Vegas 13) won’t accept it. Other reasons may lie on that Windows didn’t come with the codecs that were used for those particular .MOV files(MOV is just a wrapper for a large variety of codecs.). To easily solve your problem, you can convert the MOV video to a more editing-friendly format like MPEG-2 for Sony Vegas.
