Has Premiere killed Vegas pro?
-
It now appears that I have wasted the past 9 months gearing up for Vegas and learning what I can only to find that once I put it in full production it can’t handle basic editing tasks. To add to the clips crashing Vegas, now when I start to make a few adjustments (like simply putting a clip in slo-mo) it crashes. Saying I’m disappointed in the Vegas software is putting it lightly. It seems Vegas could be a really cool NLE but just not in the real world of professional editors.

Even after the update to 9e, Vegas still crashes regularly. It always happens when I press the spacebar to play the timeline. I will attempt to put in additional ram and use an external raid of hard drives to see if that makes any difference. Failing that, it will be CS5 and a wig to make up for all the hair loss.

I really believe CS5 is the future now. I’m hearing nothing but great reports. Vegas was perfect for me for DV, I had no issues except for the occasional lockup, but for full hi-def it’s a different story. Anyone want to purchase Vegas 9?

Well, it’s whatever works best for you. If you download the CS5 trial and you like that better, then go for it. Same with Avid. Same with Edius.
All I’m saying is that there are guys with stable boxes who love Vegas, and it might be easier/cheaper to get a new mobo and chipset than to buy CS5. But of course you have to go with what works best for you.
The main thing is that you get something you are happy with. Please let us know how it goes.

About the crashes
Do you import H264 files? ( MOV – MP4 )
this is caused bij quicktimeplayer. Vegas depends on it
Since quicktime is upgraded Vegas crashes when importing more then about 2GB of files at once.
There are different threads about this:
https://www.slashcam.com/EN/info/-Sony-Vegas-Pro–New-Quicktime-update-destroyed-MOV-support–413985.htmlsolution is to un-install quicktime and install a old version. (7.5.x)
Goto apple old versions
https://support.apple.com/downloads/#quicktimeDo you use itunes? Watch out. Itunes depends on the latest quicktime and will update the old one again!

You definately have a problem with your system, but I assure you it is not Vegas. Vegas is a PRO system that seldom, if ever crashes. Find a computer geek and your problems will be solved.
-
Yeah, that’s the key. I need someone who knows Vegas and computers to sit here and figure this out. I do really like Vegas when it is working. If you’ve got a stable system, just wish I could mirror it.
Thanks,

Ken, two questions:
Is all of your hardware ‘standard’? Or is any of it ‘fancy’ (i.e., ‘bleeding edge’)?
Also, is it possible that a simple reload of Windows (corrupt drivers or registry) would help?
-
I’ve actually already done that, it’s a fresh clean system. I just wonder if the other guys using Vegas are working in 1080P AVIs as I have no issues with DV. I really don’t want to learn another system but seem to be forced that way. I’ll still give it another go with additional ram and different drives just incase.
