Vegas 10 & Adobe CS5.5
So, I’m trying to track down why Vegas 10 crashes all the time on me, rather randomly. I do have bug reports in to Sony, but nothing helpful as come of it so far.
I’m wondering if it’s interaction between Vegas and other software I use. The logical culprit is Adobe CS5.5 master edition. I was wondering if anyone else out there has bot Vegas 10 64-bit installed with Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 (I have everything in the Master edition loaded), and if so, is all working well, or are you having problems with Vegas?
Thanks!

I have Adobe CS5.0 Production Premium and Vegas Pro 10 64-bit and It all works fine here. I’m not sure if CS5.5 would make a difference as it adds very little value over 5.0.

from my experience sv crushing is most often caused by media problem or so called “low memory” problem.
give us more details. if you say it is randomly i would go for memory. -
It’s not bad memory — I recently replaced all my memory to bring my memory up to 16 Gig. It was crashing with the old memory, and is crashing the same way with the new memory.
There are three basic types of crashes I’m experiencing.
The first is:
1) I’ll make some edits, press the space bar to p[lay, and it crashes.
2) I’ll make some edits, and click somewhere new in the timeline, and it crashes.
3) I’ll open a clip in the trimmer, play parts of it, click back in the timeline, and it crashes.
When this starts happening with a project, it happens every 10 minutes or so. Ctrl-S is now my most frequently used keystroke. :-/The second is:
I’ll go to render a WMV file of my project, and after just a few frames, Vegas crashes. I restart Vegas, open the same project, render with the same settings, and it’s fine.The third is:
I go to render just the audio of my project. I pick MP3 as the file type, and Vegas crashes. This happens on both computers that I have Vegas 64-bit installed, every time.The crashes are always access violations.

what media have you got dropped on your timeline/s how much stuff in project bins. stupid question, forgive me but: i assume your system is also x64?
if not memory then i ve never had any other issues but media. in my opinion sv apart from those two potential reasons for trouble is extremely stable. -
Media is Primarily MPEG2, 50mbps HD MXF files from a Canon XF300, and QuickTIme H.264 HD footage from a Canon 60D. Toss in some random still photos (JPG and PNG), and footage rendered from Digital Juice.

So, just to follow up in case anyone was interested…. I finally decided to take the plunge and reformatted my system disk, wiping all software out. I then reinstalled Windows 7, brought it completely up to date via Windows Update, updated all device drivers, and installed Vegas and the one Plug-In pack (NewBlueFX Video Essentials II) that I use in most of my projects. Didn’t even install anti-virus software. And, the random crashes while editing my projects still occur.
For the other crash when trying to render an MP3 File, I’ve now gotten as far as reinstalling Adobe CS5.5, and the MP3 rendering is just fine. So, it’s not that which is messing up my MP3 rendering.

Since you just eliminated other software as the problem, and many of us are not having any problems with Windows 7 64-bit and Vegas Pro 10.0e, I would think that the only other variable is the MPEG2, 50mbps HD MXF footage from your Canon XF300, and QuickTIme H.264 HD footage from a Canon 60D.
You might consider trying CineForm NeoScene ($99 USD) to convert these files to a digital intermediary that edits without problems in Vegas Pro.
