Sony Vegas is video editing software that supports various file formats. A common complaint that many people report is the software’s incompatibility with MOV files. To understand this, MOV files are container files and may contain different codecs. So, if a codec that is used in a MOV file is not supported by Sony Vegas, then the respective MOV file cannot be opened.
In such cases, your best bet is to convert the MOV file into a more generic format such as MP4. This can be done using the VLC player. It is an open-source media player that is available for free. It has the ability to convert to and from a variety of formats.
How to Convert a MOV File to MP4?
Download and install the VLC player on your system and follow the steps below to convert your MOV files to MP4.
- Run the player and click on the Media menu
- In the drop-down, select Convert/Save
- Click on the Add button to select your MOV files to convert
- Now, click on Convert/Save button at the bottom
- A window opens where you can choose the destination and output format
- Select MP4 under the format menu
- Select a destination folder where you’d like to save your file and assign a name to the converted file
- Click on Start to start the conversion process.
This will convert your MOV file to MP4. Once the conversion is done, you can play/edit these files on Sony Vegas.
Now, if any interruptions or errors occur during the conversion process, your file may get corrupted. Other reasons for corruption are playing the video in an incompatible media player or interruptions when the file is being transferred to a storage device.
