Vegas 8 and 64bit
Just purchased a 64bit windows vista system, and brand new copy of Sony Vegas 8. Been reading alot of post and understand i can’t use Vegas 8 on a 64bit system. Any help would be most appreciated.

Vegas 8.1 is for the 64 bit system, there are some problem reported but you certainly can use it. Which version did you purchase?

Not sure where you read that but it’s not true. Vegas Pro 8.0 runs great on Vista 64 in 32-bit mode. Vegas Pro 8.1 is a 64-bit application and so runs natively on Vista 64 in 64-bit mode.

Vegas Pro 8.1 was a free upgrade to registered Vegas Pro 8.0 users.
I’m not sure if this is still the case bit you have nothing to lose by trying.

I use both Pro 8c and pro 8.1 on Windows Ultimate 64 bit. They both work fine.

i have 8, thanks for response

thanks Jhon, so i don’t need to return 8, just edit in 32bit mode. Could you explain these drop out problems?

Thanks Mike, when i’m up i’ll try downloading it.

Thanks Jhon, so i should be good with 8 on my 64bit vista. Dumb Question but whats the c in front of 8?
-
The c stands for the latest version of Pro 8. Make sure you down load the latest version Pro 8c.

The red and black frames are a bug in Vegas. It’s Vegas’ way of saying that it is having problems displaying the frame. Sometimes it’s a memory / resource issue, sometimes it’s unexplainable. Sony has acknowledged the problem and is trying to fix it. I have seen them in my own work. I usually just exit Vegas and start it again and everything is fine. It would be great if Sony could fix this but it’s nothing to do with your footage or anything you are doing wrong.
