How to open VEG file?
The most common problem when using Vegas Video Project is that a specific VEG is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that VEG files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VEG file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Sony Vegas
The first step is to check if the computer has the Sony Vegas program installed. This can be achieved by typing Sony Vegas into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file VEG with Sony Vegas. Below you will find a list of applications that support VEG files.
Programs to open VEG file
Remember to download programs supporting VEG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sony Vegas with VEG files
If, despite the installed application, the VEG file does not start in the Sony Vegas application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the VEG file with the Sony Vegas application.
Step 3. Update Sony Vegas to the latest version
If, however, after binding Sony Vegas with Vegas Video Project there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the MAGIX AG website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VEG file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the VEG file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VEG file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VEG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of VEG file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VEG file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Sony, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted VEG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the VEG file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VEG to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
