    Just unistalled Vegas 10d. Couldn’t load the project I started on Vegas 10c. Vegas would hang at 7% and then stop.

    Reinstalled Vegas 10c and life continues.. without visible timecode.

    Please don’t shoot the messenger.

    Mine didn’t after several tries. Other older projects did come up, the current project was by far the most complex in that it had almost every variety of video format, both HD and SD, m2t, mpg, mov and avi. Again, I tried 5 attempts and it would hang at 7% each time.

    It was obviously hanging on a clip, no way of knowing which one. It is also a fact that I started this project in Vegas 9, before switching to 10 some time back.

    After I reloaded 10c, the project came up on first try and worked very well.

    Any way to determine which clip caused the problem? Anyone?

    Load the project in 10C and click on the “lightning” icon to remove unused media, then try loading in 10D.

    I took your advice and eliminated all unused clips in the project and saved it as an alt version. It then did open in Vegas 10d. But since I’m not finished with the editing I now have to forage thru hundreds of clips to re -import them back into Vegas as needed to complete the editing. Obviously one of the unused clips was the culprit.

    It appears 10d has an aversion to a file or type of file that 10c accepted. If I can identify the clip I’ll let you know in a follow up.

    Thanks for your advice.

    Is it possible that the drive that one of those pieces of media were supposed to be on was offline? could Windows have simply been searching everything on your local network for the media?

    I am interested in learning what you find as your project proceeds.

    In the case of a drive being offline, Vegas should have prompted me to search or ignor. In any event, the drive was online and 10d was removed, 10c installed and the project came up without a reboot. 10d was reinstalled and the project was still hanging. Repeated the 10c install, removed unused clips, saved as, reinstalled 10d, all is well with the project, but without hundreds of clips.

    It probably wouldn’t hurt to report this *possible* bug to Sony. It could have something to do with the veg file getting rewritten for 10d.

    Your workflow is obviously different from mine because I never keep unused media in my project. I have used MS Explorer for my clip organization for so many years that it’s second-nature to me now.
