Vegas Pro is a popular video editing program on Windows. When you got some 4k files from Phantom 4 Pro, you may wanna edit them in Vegas. However, some users complained Vegas Pro is unable to ingest Phantom 4 Pro 4K video files properly. Don't worry about it! Let's have a look at how to edit Phantom 4 Pro 4K files in VEGAS Pro without any problems.  

Based on our testing, we know that working with 4K files can be taxing on your computer, especially if you don't have the most powerful machine to edit on. Based on our tests, it looks like Sony Vegas Pro has to create a lower resolution proxy file to display in the NLE while you edit, so you have to wait for the proxy file to be created before you can edit any 4K footage. In this process, it will cost some time. What's more, the H.264 or H.265 encoded files from Phantom 4 Pro as a deliver format can't be supported well by Sony Vegas. The best way we've worked out yet is to convert Phantom 4 Pro 4K video with Brorsoft Video Converter and then import to Sony Vegas Pro directly.
