  title track corrupt? too many lower thirds? not the best way to sub title ?

  Posted by Rina Sherman on July 26, 2011 at 7:46 am

  Hi to all,

  What is the best way to sub title in Sony Vegas?
  I have hours of sub titling coming up and have to get out being stuck with one crash after the other.
  I want to do the sub titles in Vegas because I need to print to tape.

  I have been using (Legacy Plug-in) Video Factory Text on a video track above the image track, but find that after having too many titles, SV crashes.
  I have tried to prerender but it also crashes unless I do small pieces at a time, and to even open the file with the complete set of titles is problematic, mostly it crashes when I try to move to the spot from where I want to continue.

  Before continuing with this method, I would like to know what folks use for heavy sub titling?

  Thank you in advance,
