    The only thing i could recommend for you at this breaking point,
    is to use Vegas 10….And you could having both versions open,
    copy the Vegas 11 timeline and pasting it in Vegas 10.

    [Paul Gilmore] “I guess I can’t render footage with Vegas Pro 11? I’ve been trying all day to render a project and everytime Vegas 11 crashes!”

    Crash is a rather ambiguous term. What does it do? Is there an error message? Does it crash on the first frame or after a rendering a while?

    [Paul Gilmore] ” it’s a photo montage, bunch of photos put together with music”

    How big are the photos? DV is less than 1MP (mega pixel). If you’re shooting photos with a camera that shoots 12MP and you expecting Vegas to resize it to >1MP 30 times a second you’re asking a lot (and it will require a lot of memory). Try resizing the images to something closer to your output resolution.

    I was about to tell him to resize his photos too John, but
    from all he has mentioned, im sure he had tried that and
    probably still getting failure…..The longest ive seen the
    sony team takes to strengthen Vegas after several patches.

    Yup I’ve done it all. The point is I have made these photo videos MANY times before and I have had zero issues so it’s mind boggling to me why 11 crashes when I try to render! I know that whenever Vegas is newly updated and realeased there’s always bugs in the program and it usually take 3-5 patches til it’s fixed, like pro 10 finally got majority of bugs out by version e. why Sony doesn’t correct these issues prior to releasing them. Anyways idk what to do from here except go back to using 10 and throw $200 away from upgrading to 11. I hope Sony releases a patch soon

    It’s a lot better with large photos than it use to be but cameras just keep getting more and more pixels! 😉

    Was referring to the entire stability of Vegas.

    Have the same issues…..crashes about 30 percent of the time….even crashed today trying to render an audio only MP3 file…..the “save file” function has become my best friend…

    I had the same issue last week, set project properties to 8 bit color depth on render file and on any nested veg files. I was able to successfully render a project after having trouble for three days!

    Good luck,

    Malcolm

    Is it crashing at a certain point in the timeline or just crashes right away? I’ve had Vegas crash at the exact same spot and had to replace the files in the area of the crash and through trial and error got my rendering back again. Makes no sense at all as I can put the “corrupt” file in a new project and Vegas reads it fine. Seems like things just get corrupt sometimes and Vegas freaks out.
