  Sony Vegas Plat 9 crashing.

  Posted by James Phenicie on December 20, 2010 at 8:50 pm

  I’m working on a video story in Sony Vegas Platinum 9 ( have the latest update-b) and I am at the 6:00 min mark adding clips. The system freezes and crashes. I was working on another computer and the same thing happened. The selected clips for the documentary are on a HP external hardrive (USB).

  I have not finished editing, and the overall project will be around 6 minutes. Any one experience this issue… what to do to overcome it?

  Regards.

  If the crash occurs at the same point in the timeline, especially on a second machine, I would likely suspect that you have bad media. Try rendering “around” the crash point.

  Thanks… I’m not at the rendering point… I’m still working on adding clips to the timeline… I re-edited the clips and now am back to the 6 min mark…
  each time I go into Explore and click on a file, I get an error message: an Exception has occurred and get this code….

  Everything after “access violation” is of value only to the original programmer, and then only in controlled conditions.

  We have all seen access violations occur since we took ownership of our first x86 PC’s. The infamous “Bluescreen”, application crashes, it doesn’t really matter, access violations are all over the place. For any of you that remember the good old Windows 9x days, a General Protection Fault and Invalid Page Fault are basically the same thing (and a segmentation fault too). To many people, the phrase ‘access violation’ is synonymous with “crash”. But what exactly is an access violation?

  To put it simply, an access violation occurs any time an area of memory is accessed that the program doesn’t have permission to access. This can be due to bad code, faulty RAM or even a bad device driver. It really doesn’t matter who the culprit is, the root issue is the same.

  The free program: Prime95, available at https://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=103 will torture test your PC. If you have bad RAM or a heat sensitive component, this program will find it. While you may not be overclocking, Vegas is very processor intensive – more than Premiere. If you have a PC on the edge of stability, Prime95 will push your PC hard. If you can run Prime95 for an hour, then your PC is probably not the problem.

  If you have a problem driver, I recommend running Driver Detective from https://www.drivershq.com/ (Actually a good plan is to run Driver Detective periodically. I doesn’t do anything to your installed drivers unless you tell it to.)
