    Hi, here’s my problem. So I’m making a 3 minutes video that is a combination is a lot of videos. I’ve done this a lot before, without any trouble or freezing. With this video, however, I have started experiencing problems. Near the end of putting in/moving all of the video/audio files, a specific thing started to occur. As long as the video preview box was open, anytime I hit play then either stop or pause, Vegas would freeze for at least 30 seconds before returning. This problem went away when I hid the preview box. Although this fixed it, it didn’t help me when I had to pan the videos, so it took me 20 times longer than it should have to pan–but I managed. The problem is now, for a lack of a better term, a problem because when I try to render the video, it freezes at certain points (I left it on overnight rendering and it only got to 35%). It seems to freeze at 14%, regardless of what quality/file I render it as, then it resumes a little later and freezes again at another percent. I really want to get this video out so I’d appreciate some help with this problem. Thank you. Sony Vegas 9.0

    Pro 9 or Movie Studio?
    Latest version of it?
    What’s your CPU, OS, RAM, # of hard drives, types of footage (especially at the 14% mark), # of FX?

    Pro 9. And i’m running Windows Vista on a laptop with 3G of RAM. And I managed to fix this problem today, but if you have any idea what went wrong it would be helpful to know. Here’s the lowdown of how I fixed it.

    I “muted” certain video tracks and tried rendering again each time, and I eventually found one that, when muted, caused the rendering to work. So I sacrificed that video, since it was only a rhythm track and just rendered it like that. But I’m wondering why it had that effect, because it was the same file type as all of the other videos (.wmv). I couldn’t think of a logical explanation other than the files being corrupted in some way.

    Could you try swapping out the media on the timeline that corresponds to the problem just to see if it makes a difference. This would not be a solution but it might get you closer to finding out the problem.
