Project ‘full’? Maximum # of hours in a project file? Can’t add to Project Media.
Vegas won’t let me add more to Project Media. There is nothing wrong with the files themselves – they can be added to an empty project.
To assemble my video, I want all my puzzle pieces in the same project.
I don’t think my PC is the limiting factor. It has 4 GB RAM and an Intel dual/duo core processor with each processor ~4 GHz.
My documentary project has 60 low res tapes (~50 hours), and ~250 subclips. I don’t need all 50 hours – but those files need to be inside the project in order for the subclips to work.
How do you / How would you deal with this limitation?
Nested projects? I could divide the doc into 2 or 3 or 10 sections/themes/categories, with a project file for each section, but almost all 60 tapes contain moments that fit all the story’s sections – I would want to pull from almost all 60 tapes into each section, so I would still need perhaps 50 tapes in each sections’ project file.
That would be okay except for:
A RELATED PROBLEM:
Vegas project files are ALSO limited by total duration of Subclips.
Even when I reduced the # of hours of footage, I could only add subclips up to a limit. So I can’t add all the subclips for the project or even for just a section of the project.Should I render regions instead of using subclips? But then I can’t replace intermediate low res files with high res source files.
Background: Our process / workflow:
I gave my colleague a project file with 60 video files loaded into the project media, and her task was to select regions and create subclips (using a script “Regions to Subclips”). This worked for a few tapes (video files), then she started getting Memory-related errors, so we switched to her doing each tape as a separate project. I thought the problem was her old computer, but now I find the problem occurs on mine too.—————–
Reference:I can add small files, so the limit is not the # of files. I can replace a low res file with its high res original, so the limit is not the # of bytes.
The timeline is empty.
**Error Messages** :
(These Errors only occur when the project is [full].)– Drag a file into Project Media:
“None of the files dropped on Vegas Pro could be opened.”
– Replace file:
“An error occurred while opening one or more files.
The file could not be opened. Make sure the file exists and that you have access to the file/folder.”
– Run script ‘Regions to Subclips’“Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.”

This may be partially answered in the replies to a question asked one hour after my question about ‘Low System Memory’ (https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/24/888666).
