Clips are not working in Vegas - Help Please? Dont know where else to post...

Ok, so this is the first time I have actually posted on these forums, but I have been making KH AMVs for some time now, mostly using WMM. I recently got Sony Vegas 6 Pro from a friend, but in the last month or so it or the clips have developed a problem.

Whenever I try to bring up certain clips, the preview screen flashes black rapidly. It renders fine, usually, but it makes it hard to sync properly and sometimes it is so bad that it actually DOESNT render properly. I just started noticing this a few weeks after I got Vegas, which leads me to believe it is the clip's fault (no offence tho those of you who spent hours getting them). When it first got bad, I deleted all the clips and re-downloaded them. That just seemed to make it worse.

I am using a 2-year-old laptop with recently added memory, and I rarely, if ever, have anything other than Vegas up (unless Im not making a video, of course). My Vegas is, as I stated, Sony Vegas 6.0c Pro edition. I have compiled a list of the affected clips, if anyone wants to check them themselves. I really cannot think of a solution to this! Help!

Also, if this is in the wrong place, please move it LOL. I am new here, and didnt know where to post this. EDIT: Apparently, this was indeed the wrong place to post, so could whoever can, please move it ti whereever it should go? Thanks!

As you can see, it seems to happen on the longer clips. Please help!

 

They are all .wmv files. For some reason, my Vegas doesnt like .AVIs.

 

oops i dealeted my post because i don't think that was the problem so i can't help you sorry to waste your time

 

Well, if someone else posts on here, could you also message me on Youtube? Cause that's where I am 99% of the time, and I might forget to check this... My Youtube name is childofturin, just search it and you'll find me. I can also be reached in Astro Empires under the name Olorin, and on Runescape as Olorin3000, if that even means anything to anyone on here.

Also, please keep this alive? I would not like my typing to be lost cause I was not online. I dont know how fast these forums move, but please keep this thread visible?

 

I can't bump this thread for you, it's against the rules. I might be able to help, after I read over the problem a couple more times. I don't have Vegas, though...

Are the clips working on WMM? If not, I might be able to help you there. I know you mentioned the WMM clips, but I don't understand you if they are working or not.

I know that sometimes labtops have problems with movie making programs, including Vegas. I can't really help you there.

Maybe you should wait a few minutes after openning Vegas before testing your clips? It may have to buffer (load) for them to run properlly, and maybe the working ones take less time to buffer?

Also, try re-downloading the clips. That may also work. ​

 

Thanks, ill try those things, and in answer to your question, they do work in WMM. God, I hope its not my laptop.

 

Okay, let me know if they work. It (sadly) may be your laptop, but I'm not sure if it is or not. My Youtube, seeing as you said you are on there a lot, is Darkdog862. You can ask me any questions, there, too. I'll be happy to help :D

Gandalf ftw​

 

Thanks. Oh, and, after rereading all the responces, and in answer to your suggestion, I redownloaded them less than 2 weeks ago.
