I want to use OBS for recording local files alongside streaming. I followed this tutorial for doing so, but afterwards I try importing the mp4s into Sony Vegas Pro 12 and it crashes immediately. I check the "show problem details" box and it says this:

Problem Description

Can anyone help me figure out what's causing the crash?

You might want to check if you used mp3 or aac format for your audio in OBS. I know of problems with both in some cases. So I would recommend to try recording with the other format and then loading it into vegas again.
Oh, and in OBS, CFR should be activated in the advanced settings as most video editors dont like variable framerates.

CFR is enabled and was for my current recordings. I tried changing the audio to mp3 under encoding, and after a test video I got a different message: "None of the files dropped on Vegas Pro could be opened". So hooray for not crashing! But I still can't import anything from OBS :/

I'd definitely stick to AAC audio.

Its gotta be something else if you have CFR enabled. What bitrate or quality setting are you using? I've seen things like this happen when people attempt a constant rate factor that's too low, like CRF=0 or CRF=1.

Post a log file and make a small sample .mp4 (maybe one minute long) that you verify crashes Vegas and upload it to a file sharing site so we can download it and see for ourselves.

Okay, I changed it back to AAC. I have "Custom x264 Encoder Settings" checked and (without quotes) "crf=15" in the box. Here's the sample clip, I figured Mediafire will do the job: https://www.mediafire.com/?0u2uw4hbic2g6nx

You confirmed that file has the problem? I downloaded it and loaded it into Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11 without any issues. Did some messing around like cropping and reverse video. You said it crashed immediately, so maybe there's some problem with Vegas Pro 12. Maybe if someone else has Vegas Pro 12 they can try it out. But for me the file seems fine.

Definitely sure. It crashed about two seconds after I imported the video, and the crash report shows up asking me if I want to send the report or not. I don't think it's my computer or anything, because I can run Vegas Pro 12 just fine, and I've heard of a couple other people with this problem, but no one seems to be able to fix it.

A new thing occurred. I tried the demo of Vegas Pro 13 and I was able to import the video without it crashing. Everything works except the video is green. Audio still works, and I can fully edit all the footage, but the video is just...green.

I guess in a way this is progress, but I think the only way to solve it is to figure out the problem with the video in Pro 12, and I'm guessing it'll work in 13 if that gets fixed.

you could try downloading an external codec, like x264vfw. ull prob need the 32 & 64 bit versions installed, but i believe the installer includes both now. install it, restart, then give it a shot. if that doesnt work, then id recommend running the files through handbrake. (ive gotten in the habit of doing this with every file to avoid compatibility and sync issues in NLEs).

i have/do both of these things and have had no issues for a very long time. if u need help, pm me or msg me on twitter.

(ive gotten my hand smacked a couple times for recommending unofficial fixes and id like to avoid that)

so the codec is for OBS? I have both versions (32-bit and 64-bit). how exactly do i download this external codec (from where)? i'm pretty new to all of this.

He's talking about a general H.264 video codec. A google search for the term he mentioned (x264vfw) takes you to the place he wanted you to go. As he explained, he was hesitant to directly link it.

The Video in Short:
Check which plugin Vegas uses.
Go to vegas folder and rename the plugin folder.
See if Vegas now uses another plugin that works with your mp4.
