A Vegas video that REFUSES to stop? Yep, that’s where I’m at now.

Can you post a project .veg file so that one of us can download it and see how it behaves on our systems? No need for any media, we can replace with our own media.

Took a while for a response from Sony re: the early posts referenced here. Been too busy to test (again) what the advice I received told me to do, which is this:

Thank you for contacting Sony Creative Software.

That is how the software is supposed to function. Unless you create a loop region in the timeline and press play, the project will keep playing until you press stop. Using loop regions will allow a play and stop point to be made and will only run between those points.

If you still have a follow-up question on this particular incident, please feel free to update it. If you have a completely different question, please create a new incident.

Has anyone been able to solve a problem like mine by simply creating a loop region? Also, this has nothing to do with the problem, which is Vegas Pro 12 continuing to roll long after there is nothing any longer on the timeline. Also, it doesn’t address the fact that 3 of 6 videos WILL render to a different format, while the OTHER 3 won’t. BTW, I update the incident, still haven’t heard back and that’s mostly why I had not posted THIS response until now.

THANK YOU!

[bob woods] “Has anyone been able to solve a problem like mine by simply creating a loop region?”

Yes, a loop region stops playing at the end of the loop.

[bob woods] “Also, this has nothing to do with the problem, which is Vegas Pro 12 continuing to roll long after there is nothing any longer on the timeline. “

I didn’t realize that you were talking about timeline playback. I wrongly assumed that you were talking about rendering past the end of the project.

Yes, Vegas will playback forever. That’s just how the software works. It’s not a bug. It has been doing this for over 10 years. It plays until you press stop even if nothing is on the timeline just like a tape recorder will continue to play even after there is no more music on the tape. That’s just the way it works.

[bob woods] “Also, it doesn’t address the fact that 3 of 6 videos WILL render to a different format, while the OTHER 3 won’t. “

What formats don’t work? I looked back through this thread but didn’t see anything about render formats not working. Maybe you should make a new thread about this new problem.

Wow, I was living a BLESSED life for years – never once was I required to create a LOOP REGION to have (1) a single audio file or (2) multi-track audio WITH video footage AND still photos PLUS captions AUTOMATICALLY STOP PLAYING more than just a few frames past the end of the last track. An AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Core 4400+ 2.21 GHz processor, Asus A8n-SLI Premium motherboard with 4GB RAM (the maximum it supports) with Windows XP Pro 64 bit as the OS. Audio cards from M-Audio: Delta Dio and Delta 1010 connected to its rack-mountable XLR-1/4″ interface to my Yamaha O1v digital mixer. Near-field MSP5 monitors from Yamaha or one of my three Sony MDR-V600 headphones brings the audio to my ears.

Current setup problems regarding six videos my benefactor enjoys, all less than 60 seconds long: three rendered to QuickTime movie files without a problem. The rest CONTINUES rendering as QuickTime movie files, BLACK SCREEN ONLY, for over 10GB of disc space if I allow the madness to continue. I regret making it sound as though I had been attempting to render to other web-friendly formats; I was not able to render to DVD Architect Pro 6, or whatever that current downloaded version is that I have.

I have installed Vegas 6 on an old non-Pro XP low-profile desktop (which has no space for the expansion cards) and I miss using that program, too bad my new footage is high def or I would roll the 64 bit machine back to it’s prior state.

I have music videos that have been enjoyed by tens of thousands of people worldwide, but that’s in the past, I will do this ASAP: full-format of the new AMD machine system hard drive, with installment of WIN 7 x64 Pro and Vegas Pro ONLY. Who knows, I may get luck again.

Much thanks to you all!
