Saved projects problems
Hello, I’ve been using sony vegas for a while now and just recently I’ve been having problems with sony vegas. First, the load times take forever when opening a project. It might be because of the size of the project but I’m not sure. Second, when I finally load the saved projects, the clips in the project will be messed up. Some clips will be replaced with clips that weren’t even in the project, some will be moved and others will just be replaced with other clips in the project. And third, sometimes vegas will just crash for no reason. And I get this: Unmanaged Exception (0xc0000005). Please help. Thanks.

Have you done a check disk (CHKDSK /F) on your hard drive lately? It could be that you have cross-linked files which might cause errors like that.

Check disk, is that like defragmenting and disk clean up? Because if that is so then I can’t do that on the drive the video clips are saved to. The clips are saved to an external hard drive with no spinning disk in it. It will ruin the drive. And I don’t even know how to cross-link files either.

No, it’s not like defragmenting and it is appropriate for any type of drive (spinning or not) because it checks the drive’s structures to make sure they are not corrupt.
[Nick Guillory] “And I don’t even know how to cross-link files either.”
Cross-link files usually happen when Windows locks up or gives the Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD) or is shut off without being shut down (power failure etc.) This is especially true of external hard drives that are not disconnected properly. It’s not something you do or want to happen but that’s how a hard drive becomes corrupt.
Another problem might be that your Vegas project is corrupt. Once you get all the files that are supposed to be there, you might want to open a second copy of Vegas and copy and paste the entire project and save it under a new name and see if that project has the same problem or not.

Ok, I’ll try moving it into another copy of vegas. But just in case that doesn’t work, how do I do a check disk?

Open a Command prompt and type:
CHKDSK x: /F
Where “x:” is the disc letter.

Ok, I tried moving the clips to another copy of vegas and the clips were still messed up. Now I tried doing a check disk on both of my drives and everytime I do that I get this message from the command prompt:
“Access Denied as you do not have sufficient privileges. You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode.”
What exactly does this mean?

If you run chkdsk without the /f, chkdsk will tell you if you have disk structure errors. The /f attempts to fix them.
Unfortunately, the /f only fixes the disk structure. If nothing had been added or changed in the sector chain since the error, and no other file writes have changed the cross-linked sectors, then the file may* be fixed as well.
But, it’s better than nothing.
What John said is correct. Cross-linked or incomplete sector chains (what chkdsk fixes) occur because DOS (way deep down in Windows, you still have a basic Disk Operating System) did not finish writing the sector map to the hard disk. Powering down a disk while there is still data in its cache is a guaranteed way to create this problem.

[Nick Guillory] “”Access Denied as you do not have sufficient privileges. You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode.” What exactly does this mean?”
It means you need to run it with administrator privileges. Go to Start | All Programs | Accessories and right-click on the Command Prompt and select “Run as Administrator“. Then anything you run from that command like will have the elevated privileges you need.
