  • Movie Studio Platinum 12 corrupting all my footage.

    Posted by Ivan Narvas on February 1, 2014 at 6:31 pm

    I recently got a chance to upgrade from some awful editing software to Movie Studio Platinum 12.

    For the first week or so, it was performing fantastically. Not only was it better in every way, it was faster and product better quality videos.

    However, recently it has been corrupting every bit of footage I give it. I had some test footage, copied in two places. One copy on an external hard-drive, and another on another external hard-drive. When I imported one, the usual happened, footage’s frame-rate plummets and crashes every program it touches, while the original was still perfectly fine.

    I have no idea why this is happening, why it didn’t happen to start with, or even a clue or how to go about fixing this.

    Any ideas why this is happening?

    .avi

    Uncompressed fraps, recorded in 60fps.

    After some more testing… I found my problem…
    The program is fine, it is the hard-drive causing this issue.

    Using the footage from the other external hard-drive yields absolutely No problems. I will have to figure out why it is doing this, but I have at least confirmed that it is not the program.

    OK, The hard-drive was not in my equation in figuring out your
    solution. I would also recommend you get your files off of it
    in case it crashes and you loose them.

    HI Ivan;

    Back in 2009, I too, in frustration with my old nameless video editing software, did some looking and found the free trial of Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9.

    After the trial expired I bought it.
    Then I bought at full price (more or less) SVP9.
    Then upgraded to SVP10, then SVP11, and now SVP12.

    Yes, at times it can be a little frustrating, but I have been very pleased over the years.

    Welcome to Vegas!

    I mostly leave my system drive free of Media being used in Vegas. I most certainly wouldn’t expect VP12 to function well with an uncompressed AVI being stored on the system drive which is what you’ve suggested you’ve done? And THAT right there is the issue. The added reasons could be:

    A] System drive fragmentation and that AVI has been squeezed into the areas not being used and then susequently Vegas attempting to source the parts of that AVI.

    B] Little real estate on your system drive and, not so critical, badly pfragmented, although because of A] above will be adding to the issue too!

    If you’ve proved that Vegas is good with the file on external and originally your AVI was stored on your system drive, you don’t clearly state this, then A] and B] would be the factors getting/resulting in a fractured experience with Vegas.

    Grazie

    Look about getting another drive Ivan, that there is an indication
    of more problems to come, including failure.

    Ivan, I second Steve R.’s suggestion.

    First get at least one of these (or similar from another manufacturer, not endorsing this one, in fact I have a different brand):

    https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-5-0Gbps-Docking-Station-ST0019U/dp/B003ZUXXVU

    Hook it up to a SATA port on your computer.

    Then grab one of these to stick in it – the hybrid drives are almost as fast without the SSD cost:

    https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178381

    Put all your source media on it, when rendering, send the file to a drive other than it.
