Constant Vegas 10 crashes…again
I have a project in Vegas 10e with about 20 video tracks that I’m getting ready to do multicam editing for (it’s a music video). I was able to create all the tracks largely without problems last night. Today, when I open the project, it starts at the top, and when I scroll down to the bottom tracks and audio, Vegas gets an error report and gives me the option to report it. I’ve restarted Vegas, restarted my computer, and nothing works.
I’ve had a lot of problems with Vegas 10 and 11 this week and am wondering if there’s anything else that can be done. I tried opening the project in Vegas 11 and instead of doing an error report, it freezes and I have to close it. I must have had Vegas crash on me 100 times this week since I’ve been editing every day.
I’m going to try to reformat my entire computer and reinstall Windows and then Vegas. If that doesn’t work, I’m going to seriously consider switching to Avid or Premiere.

Incredible. I reinstalled Vegas 10, and 10a works better than 10e.

I had a major problem with crashes because I had “Izotope” installed and had used it on several clips. It got fixed after a long time after finding out I didn’t have the most current version of quicktime installed which Izotope apparently takes advantage of.

I`ve been having proportionaly the same amount of problems as you (crashes / error reports) with Vegas 9 and 10, as well as with the Neo files causing a lot of them.
I tried Premiere Pro 5.5 and, despite not being so user friendly as Vegas, seems to be a rock solid software.
I`ll probably move to Premiere. -
Right, I forgot to mention that I use Cineform Neoscene to convert my AVCHD footage into avi. I have the latest version of Neoscene.
Editing 20 multicam tracks on Vegas 10a is really slow, but if there’s no bugs or crashes then it’s a huge improvement over Vegas crashing or error reporting every time I start it. I’ll reinstall Windows, try to make sure there’s no resource conflicts, update all my drivers (again), and if that doesn’t work I can’t afford to switch to Avid or Premiere anytime soon, so I don’t know what I’ll do. And I really don’t want to switch-I’ve used both of those programs and like Vegas’ interface a great deal more. But Vegas’ interface is starting to include dozens of crashes a day.

I feel your pain — I’ve been having crashes typically every 10-15 minutes since “upgrading” to Vegas 10 in the Spring. Tech support hasn’t been very helpful on this one. Reported the problem in June, and even after reformatting my hard drive, re-installing Windows 7 & all updates, and installing only Vegas, it still crashed. I would expect that they’d ask for the project files and media at this point, but no such luck. Almost 5 months of crashing after the problem was reported isn’t fun. Transcoding the footage to another format didn’t help, either.
Next step is to see if Vegas 11 fixes the problems; if not, I guess it’ll be Premiere for me as well. It’s not as efficient as Vegas from a work-flow perspective, but it’s not crashing on me, which makes it a more effective application as it stands now. I’m bummed — I really like Vegas.

If you keep seeing freezing issues in Vegas 10, I’ve found that installing the 64 bit version while using 64 bit win 7 helps this a ton. Using the 32 bit version seems to have some memory issues going on that causes freezing.
Since I went with 64 bit on 64 bit win 7, I’ve had 1 crash in 6 months on Vegas 10.
