Large resolution jpgs crashing Vegas
I’m running Vegas 6.0b, and have had this same problem with 6.0a
I have a series of large resolution jpgs, varying in size from 3904×2760 to 7391×5192 (they were scanned by the husband of this project’s producer, who is a graphics designer). I want to add them directly to my Vegas timeline, but merely
selecting most of them under Project Media causes Vegas to crash. Only the jpgs with lower resolution don’t crash Vegas to crash, and work fine on the timeline.Now I could just resize in Photoshop, but I’m going for the George Burns pan/zoom/etc documentary approach to these stills. I want to have considerable freedom with movement on these images.
Why could Vegas be crashing? Going by other posts on this forum others have worked with high resolution stills with no problem.

I would size them down. They are quite big. Remember, DV is only 720 x 480 (NTSC), so you are around 10x the size.

For now I have decided to just downsize to around NTSC 720×480 (it works now), but I do plan on doing fairly elaborate ‘camera’ moves that will zoom in and out very far on a picture. I have fears of what would happen if I tried to zoom in on 1/5 of the picture of a 720×480 jpg!

Maybe make conversion from jpg to png with same resolution?
Just try high resolution pictures encoded into png on Vegas timeline. -
720 x 480 is far too small if you really need to do any panning/zooming. I regularly have images on my timelines that are 2000 pixles wide. This allows for quite extensive zooming. 7000pixels wide IS pushing it. You just needed a compromize between that and 720×480.

Yeah, I always have to resize my high res photos or Vegas will freeze 🙁

Only jpgs are problems in Vegas. Large pngs are not. Vegas recommends using pngs.
