Error Message on Sony Vegas 8
Hi,
I’m editing a project on Sony Vegas 8. But as of the past day and a half I’ve been having issues. It only with this particular project. The program keeps crashing saying something “unusual” occurred. Then I sometimes get a message: “The system is low on memory. You may be able to reduce memory usuage by closing other applications.” But I don’t have anything else open but Sony Vegas. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Seems you probably have a corrupt piece of video on the
timeline or something thats causing an issue with that project.

Thank you for your quick response. Yes, I think it must be a corrupt file. Just not sure which one. Thankfully at least I had rendered a version of the project already so the corrupt file is already safely encode in that version. I’ll that that rendered file to build upon my final version.

YOU may not have anything else open, but Windows has probably launched a few dozen processes, each consuming resources.. Running an anti-virus program? That could be consuming a lot of resources (especially Norton).
Search this forum for “Low Memory”.

Try to open another instance of Vegas, copy all events from the crashing one into the new one. You won’t get effects set in tracks, but this sometimes fixes errant bugs that cause hangs and crashes.

Thanks for your suggestion. I’m going to look into this and see what could be running.
