Recognize this Vegas 12 hanging behaviour?
Vegas 12.
Lots of stuff on a long 1080/60i timeline – h.264 stuff, stills, MOV, credit rolls, audio, bunch of stuff. Not much all at once, nothing more than a track or two, but a lot of stuff in total on about a 45-minute project.
Vegas will stall. It will go “not responding” for a bit with the spinning cursor. The Vegas icon on my taskbar will disappear briefly and come back as though it’s closing and opening again. It’ll cycle through this perhaps a few times and eventually let me have control of the program, move around the timeline, play and such. But this can take a few minutes at a time.
Vegas doesn’t outright crash. It comes back.
I’ve looked at Task Manager and see the CPU spike up…stay high for a few seconds…then come down…then up…then down.
I’ve looked at Resource Monitor and don’t see anything wacky going on there.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I’ve had similar problems that seemed to me to stem from some disparate file types. My method (which may not be the best way but works for me) is to go through and delete clips until I find the one(s) screwing up the playback, open the source clip in a new project, render out the entire clip in a more project-friendly format and then go back to the original project and Replace the problem clip with the new render. If it was rendered at the same frame rate and aspect ratio as the source clip, it should drop back into the project perfectly.

Yep, sounds familiar. Vegas is choking on some of the
video files (Events) you currently have on the timeline.Steve Rhoden

Trying to wrap my head around this — Vegas is getting bunged up by files that are not being read at the time? It’s gagging on events that are not being viewed at the moment, that are somewhere on the timeline away from where the cursor is?

Yes that happens, once the event/s are on the timeline.

Yes I’ve had this too Scott.
I used to think the hang was permanent and lose much work until one day I let it hang until it decided to return to the land of the living.Now when it happens, I just wait.
From what was said here… It may be most efficient to continue waiting when it happens. It’s not extremely frequent.

For some users Gilles, the waiting doesn’t work out.
