  • Foundational/global Vegas Pro problems

    Posted by Dennis Metzler on May 14, 2026 at 5:43 pm

    I have been having global problems using Vegas Pro for years. This is both with Windows 10 and 11. It is with both Vegas Pro 16 and 20. I have reinstalled these so many times. It is both with my desktop and laptop computers which have good specs. I have totally wiped out both PCs and reinstalled everything. There have been so many symptoms but these are several of the recurring symptoms: 1) it suddenly closes, 2) it suddenly freezes 3) healthy wav. files which I import are corrupted so they just sound like hard digital distortion– 4) when I try and zoom in really close on audio forms in order to sync 2 audio tracks it just gets stuck so I can’t zoom in any further, 5) when it is time to render a 6 GB file it will give an estimated size of something like 5 MB and then not render at all until I restart the app 6) the video will not keep up with the audio and therefore not show smoothly–as if I didn’t have enough RAM or GPU, and 7) just in the last few months, when I sync 2 long tracks at the very beginning they will be 30 seconds off at the end–which is a big hassle to edit. Many more have come up over the years. Obviously, these are not individual problems to be solved since the problems come and go. I would sure appreciate some help if anyone knows anything since I am close to being done with Vegas Pro. Please do not address individual problems since it is obviously something foundational.

    Thanks,

    Dennis

    Hey Dennis,

    Sorry, your experiences sounds way past painful.

    And, you are clearly doing all the right things to make it work.

    Initially there are only two things that you don’t mention, which might be relevant:

    1) In your setup, do you use external drives HDD/SSD?

    2) What is the codec of your video source files?
