Has Premiere killed Vegas pro?
-
No I don’t work with H264, Vegas doesn’t handle it too well. I convert the files with Neoscene to AVI files. All runs smooth and well until it crashes. Computer doesn’t lock up, only Vegas comes up with error message. Frustrating as I put the very best recommended components in the system. Has to be Vegas as After Effects runs like a dream.

Joel, the fact that you crash when you ‘push the spacebar to play the clip” is not a Vegas problem. Many thousands of us do that each day with Vegas with no crashes. I also work with Neoscene on Win 64, with no crashes (yet). The fact that you and a few others are having these problems does not point to Vegas being the problem. It points to something with your system.
Perhaps you are using a plug in that is not compatable with W64. Perhaps it’s some component of your system. Maybe something is failing. I have a very vanilla system, with only a eSata drive (external). I don’t use many plug ins, and the ones I use are supporting W64.
So go back to your hardware and strip out the oddities. Something is incapable, and you are likely to have it move with you to Adobe, or whatever other system you think will solve world hunger.
Good luck.

I have Vegas Pro 9e 64 bit and Windows 7 64 bit but Vegas crashes every 5 F*^&*ing minutes. I’m only working on a three minute music video that has 6 video tracks on it. The video files are MTS or AVCHD. I have all the effects bypassed and it still crashes. I have 5 gb of ram, my processor overclocked to 3.08 ghz, and about a month ago reinstalled Windows 7. Why does Vegas keep on crashing, should I just trash it and go to Adobe?

As was said before, if your system is not stable under Vegas, it will not be stable under Adobe (or anything else).
What is your initial clock speed? I would back off the overclock. Something is not working for you, and the overclock seems to be a potential candidate.
Other than that, have you checked your RAM?

Original clockspeed is 2.8 ghz, and I have 5 gb of ram. I also have Vegas Pro 9d (haven’t updated it yet) on my laptop and it crashes all the time too. It’s really not that they crash but they become unresponsive. They lock up and say Not Responding.

Reset my clockspeed to normal, opened Vegas, made two changes to the timeline and it locked up.

Why not try 9.0e?
That seems to be the version that worked for most people. It should be a short download.

I had some significant hair-pulling when I transitioned from NTSC DV to 1080p with AVCHD. It took me a combination of things that made thing progressively better. No guarantees / your mileage may vary.
Turn off media manager and disable all services that use it.
Check your event viewer, specifically application and systems for errors. Resolve errors you see and keep moving forward.
Split your OS paging file across multiple drives.
Don’t render to C:drive
Check disk space on all applicable drives.
Degragment early and often diskeeper is a great piece of SW for this.
Use enditall SW to kill all unnecessary processes before opening your editor.
Download a trial of Cineform Neoscene and convert to intermediate format and try editing with that.
Good luck,
