  • Crash when trying to open a project (v10 and 11)

    Posted by Fabio Mereghetti on August 27, 2012 at 6:42 pm

    Hi.

    I’m experiencing the behaviour I describe below both with v10e and v11(683) 64bit, W7 64bit.

    Project with three cams. I applied two fx (level gamma and color balance) to each event of each camera in the timeline.

    The .veg file is about 0,8MB.

    With VASST Ultimate I create the master track.
    I can see that each event in the master track has the effect icon green.

    I save the project. Now the .veg file is about 3MB.

    I close the project.

    When I right click on the .veg file in Vegas explorer window, after a few seconds Vegas crashes. Same thing if I use the Open command in the File menu.

    Any advice?

    Thanks.

    Why not try importing it, as you would a normal video.
    And see if it imports first.

    @Steve:
    No luck, it crashes after a few seconds.

    Tonight I will try to open it with a 32bit Vegas 10 on another machine.

    @Paul:

    I have three video tracks with a total of 15 events +
    about 150 markers (camera selections: 1c, 2c, 3c, etc.) +
    each event ha two effects (BCC levels gamma and BCC color balance) +
    one master video track created with VASST Ultimate.

    I see that the veg file gets bigger when I create the master track
    after applying the two mentioned effects to each event.
    I understand that in this track there are about 150 events
    each one with its two effects.

    I tried and removed the effects from all the events in the
    master track but a 45 seconds region that I use to render
    for testing and the veg file went back to less than one MB.
    So the size growth must be related to that.
    But when I try to render that loop region of 45 secs, I get
    a random crash after some percent of work has been done.

    OK, I still am on a single core AMD64 FX53CPU
    with 3GB of RAM on W7-64 and V10(11)-64 but
    I did similar things before on XP32, 2GB ram
    and V9e.

    Is there a way to “copy” a project from 10 to nine?

    Thanks.

    Created a similar project in Vegas 9 copying events, markers, regions, etc.

    The file size is about one third.

    No problems whatsoever in editing nor in rendering. I can work (no OFX though).

    Thanks.
