SONY VEGAS 11 Crash using the text tool (royal pain, royal nightmare)

[Brett Underberg-davis]

[Stephen Crye] “One thing I don’t like as far as look and feel is the Render menus – yuk. Why coders have to change things just to change them is beyond me.”

Especially when they wind up making the program slow down tremendously. I really hate that interface. It’s probably the main reason I’m still using version 10 for anything critical. I really hate waiting a long time for menus to load, and this one is one of the most offensively useless ones I’ve seen. Yes, it’s kind of pretty, and if it were AS efficient as the old interface it would be great. But it takes so long to load on my admittedly old and overdue for replacement machine that I wind up fearing a crash is imminent.

Also, I have yet to figure out why I can’t even install V.11 on my newer, slightly more powerful laptop, but it’s a machine I don’t regularly use, so it hasn’t been worth my time to work that out. Probably has something to do with the fact that V.9 is the most current version installed on that one, and I just haven’t had reason to spend the time to update (also I suspect there’s some more basic problem with that (Win 7) machine, since many things have trouble installing on it.

Sorry for a very belated rant.
