When I upload a new media file to sony vegas pro, it only shows the top left portion of the actual video and I can't figure out how to show the full video. Can anyone help me?

Hi Michael! I would love to help! Out of curiosity, what are your sequence settings and what is the size of the video that you are importing? If your sequence is set to 720 x 480 (SD resolution) and the video your importing is 1920 x 1080 (HD resolution) it would make some sense as to why your editor is only showing you the top left portion of the video. If you find that this is the case, you'll want to scale down your video in your timeline until it fits in the smaller 720x480 window or secondly, change your sequence settings to match your footage settings which is probably the best scenario overall. Hope that helps!

By the way...this post wouldn't happen to be yours would it? ;) The guy has the same first name! http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/24/930703
