    Posted by Josh Mazzoni on January 4, 2011 at 6:08 pm

    I’m working on a film shot in 1080p at 24 frames. This message constantly pops up and forces me to exit Vegas without my progress being saved. Any help on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Josh.

    It would help us if described exactly what you are doing when this happens.

    Also, some description of your setup.

    Cheers for now,

    In addition to Tom’s question, upgrade to 8.0c (the latest build for Pro 8) and see if you still get the error message.

    I am doing simple edits at this point, 3 video tracks and two audio. Not many effects, only color correction. When it comes up I’m either trimming clips or dragging them into the timeline. The setup is an HP xw4600 Workstation. I am previewing the video out to a tv through a sony DVC recorder. Thanks.

    Josh,

    I would take Mike’s advice and update to 8.0c. Just make sure you make a restore point so that you can fall back.

    Thank you all for your help. Unfortunately, I am working on my schools computers so I can’t add or update the program. I have tried it on multiple computers and the error message persists, except now I can not do anything because the message pops up right when the file has finished opening. Anymore help would be wonderful, thanks again.

    We have all seen access violations occur since we took ownership of our first x86 PC’s. The infamous “Bluescreen”, application crashes, it doesn’t really matter, access violations are all over the place. For any of you that remember the good old Windows 9x days, a General Protection Fault and Invalid Page Fault are basically the same thing (and a segmentation fault too). To many people, the phrase ‘access violation’ is synonymous with “crash”. But what exactly is an access violation?

    To put it simply, an access violation occurs any time an area of memory is accessed that the program doesn’t have permission to access. This can be due to bad code, faulty RAM or even a bad device driver. It really doesn’t matter who the culprit is, the root issue is the same.

    The free program: Prime95, available at https://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=103 will torture test your PC. If you have bad RAM or a heat sensitive component, this program will find it. While you may not be overclocking, Vegas is very processor intensive – more than Premiere. If you have a PC on the edge of stability, Prime95 will push your PC hard. If you can run Prime95 for an hour, then your PC is probably not the problem.

    If you have a problem driver, I recommend running Driver Detective from https://www.drivershq.com/ (Actually a good plan is to run Driver Detective periodically. I doesn’t do anything to your installed drivers unless you tell it to.)

    Thank you very much, Mike. I contacted the IT department at my school and upgraded to 8.0c. Now, I am able to edit without a problem. Thanks again, Josh.

    Josh, I’m glad to hear that your IT folks were helpful and that you’re successfully editing once again.
