Sony Vegas Pro 9.0e – Track Frozen?
Of course, I have run into yet another problem with my Vegas project.
Now whenever I try to open the project, it almost seems as though the project doesn’t finish loading; the entire bottom half of Vegas (the track window) is completely empty, when my project has about 11 tracks of video and audio. However, the preview window seems to still work, as I am able to click to different spots and even play the video, even though the the entire track window is frozen. When I play the video, though, the frame indicator does not change from the original frame that I clicked on. Here are some screencaps of my issue. I’m really getting sick of this.

Final image is what occurs when I drag the track bar up.

Also, I have tried other projects and they have worked fine. I did NOTHING before I exited out of Vegas last to cause this.

Sorry for yet another post, but I was rendering pieces of the broken project (quite difficult when you can’t see the tracks/timeline..) to put into an old backup file, and of course when I attempted to close and then re-open this backup file it was also broken. I figured it was a problem with the footage until I attempted to open a VERY old backup file and it didn’t work either, and I hadn’t touched that one for a long, long time. What is going on..?
Oh, hah! I just discovered that projects not even related to this one are ruined as well..
Please, someone know how to fix this.

It looks like a display driver issue because the screen doesn’t seem to be painting properly. Does it do this if you start a new project?
I would check to make sure that you have the latest display drivers for your video card. If you have Microsoft auto updates enabled, it is possible that Microsoft could have downloaded different drivers or changed something on your PC to make this happen.

I’m pretty sure that’s spot on. I recently received Windows updates, and I’m pretty sure that’s what caused it. I then downloaded the newest video driver and it seems to be working.. for now.
Thanks again, I truly appreciate your time.

Glad that was all it was. I would NOT have windows automatic updates turned on. This is an accident waiting to happen. What you should do is turn off windows automatic updates. Then once a month, make sure that you have a complete backup of your PC and then apply all the updates for that month. This way if anything goes wrong you can restore to that known good backup.

Hmmm.. I was forced to reboot and now the same issue is present again. Any idea what I can do, or should I just wait it out like last time?
I have the most recent display drivers, so i’m guessing that wasn’t my problem.

I also noticed that all my .veg files were not recognized by Vegas after the reboot..
Gonna try a reinstall and see if that helps, it didn’t last time.

I just went through a variety of checks, such as removing all recent Windows updates, system restoring, re-installing graphics drivers and Vegas multiple times, etc. Nothing seems to work. This issue is sometimes present on other project files, but never as much as my current main one. New projects seem to work fine, but I haven’t gotten far enough to see if they’ll eventually have issues too..
I know something happened that I missed to cause all of this.. This issue is quite close to ending my entire video editing hobby as a whole. Nothing makes sense.
Please help – as many times as i’ve asked that and as many times i’ve received said help..
Gotta be something i’m missing..

Try starting a new project in another instance of Vegas and cut and paste the whole old project into the new one. Maybe the old project is corrupt somehow.

I would think that to be the issue if other projects I hadn’t touched before this didn’t immediately have the same issue when I opened them. I suppose it’s still possible, and I didn’t realize you could actually cut and paste between projects.
I guess as a last resort until I find a fix I just have to leave Vegas up 100% of the time if it does this to new projects as well, which i’m too scared to test ’til I render my project later tonight.
