Vegas 5 system low on memory
After using this software for quite some time without any problems, I now have a one hour long project that i cannot output to dv or render as an avi without the software locking up and giving me an error “system low on memory close any open applications’ I checked task manager, everything is closed except vegas. It does appear however that there are two instances of vegas open in the task manager, maybe this is the problem i dont know. My main concern is not losing this project. I do not want to have to start over and reedit this project. Can i reinstall the software without losing a completed project?
Any help with this problem would be great, have a nice weekend -

You can save the project file as often as you like. Go to File> Save As and give it a name. It will be saved as a .veg file. It’s a good idea to save as a different name (xxx.01.veg, xxx.02.veg) every once in a while, and it dosen’t hurt to save them in more than one place, especially on different hard drives.
As long as you have the .veg file, you have all the information needed to recreate the project.

Have you tried pre-rendering the project? Or pre-rendering and/or render to new track smaller segments via a selection area? Try either of these before doing the final big render.

Well, if you have two instances of Vegas running, that may take a bit of memory. I don’t see any reason to re-install Vegas, but if you do, you will not lose anything. The reason you have two instances of Vegas running is that you have started it twice.
The “easiest” cure is probably just to reboot, make sure you start only once instance of Vegas for your project, and render.
Remember that the way Vegas works is that it starts a new instance of Vegas each time you double click the project (.veg) file. This is by design and in this case a good one. Other programs open their data files in an existing running instance of the program when you doubleclick the data file.

I am running Vegas 6 and out of nowhere I am receiving the same error message “system low on memory close any open applications”. After hours of tech support, defragging, disk cleaning, performing an uninstall and re-install of the Vegas 6 software..I am getting nowhere. I also have some corrupt wav files and jpegs now. Have you run into an answer/solution for the error message? Teh computer is working fine but now tech support is suggesting a new hard drive.

We’ve installed Sony Vegas 6c under an Admin-account on a brand new PC (absol. no memory issues!!) and it works fine. After that we deliver the PC to a regular user. If we startup the application under the user account (same PC!) we get the low on memory message and doesn’t startup!! The user has full control rights on directories and registry… Can anyone shine a light on this?
