Project Media Crashing Vegas. A fix?
I have a project that will crash every time I try to look at the project media. It starts to show the media, then crashes giving the following error: An error occured during the current operation. An exception has occured.
Then under details there’s a whole bunch of info.
Because it seems to preview some of the media, then crash, I’m assuming there’s some peice of media that’s crashing Vegas. Is there any way to remove stuff from the project media without viewing project media tab? I’m not sure this is the problem, but it seems to be what causes the crash.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you’re saying that it crashes when the playback starts, turn off the auto preview button.

No, I’m saying the project will load, and the whole timeline plays back in the preview fine. But when I switch to the Project Media tab and it starts rendering the little thumbnails in that window, it crashes giving the above error. As long as I don’t switch to that tab, everything seems to run fine. I really don’t want to loose my work from this project. Any ideas?

[theFiddler] “But when I switch to the Project Media tab and it starts rendering the little thumbnails in that window, it crashes giving the above error.”
I probably shouldn’t say “rendering.” That gives the wrong impression. But rather “loading” or something like that. When I switch to the Project Media tab, the computer starts working, and I can see the first media items will show the little thumbnail, but as it conintues to load them (this part is my assumption), it gets to one it can’t thumbnail correctly and crashes. Thanks.

Something is corrupt. Can you just switch the Project Media tab to List or Detaled view to avoid the thumbnails?

Thanks for trying to help Gary. I couldn’t do what you just suggested because the error would occur almost imediately after I switched to the project media tab. However, I used the menu to “Clean Project Media” and it must have gotten rid of whatever media was the problem, because it works now. Thanks again for trying though.

This is what I would do: Move the project media to another folder so that Vegas can not find it. Then add media, either one by one, or in groups, to try to identify the offending clip.

Open Vegas, change the media view type, and THEN load your project. After that, then click on the lightning bolt to clear out the unused items.
