Sound Forge – delays ?
Within context of another issue I asked about a ‘Media Offline’ problem, didn’t get resolved so trying again.
Sony Movie Studio 12, Soundforge Studio 10
I open a project, import media.
Select audio track and ‘open copy in editor’
It opens in Soundforge, I edit as necessary, save.
I return to Movie Studio … and the project is there but both Audio & Video tracks are marked as ‘Media Offline’ (see sample)I cannot edit or do anything (other than switch to another app should I want)
This is a powerful PC, with loads or RAM, CPU is low.
After several minutes all return OK …. this happens on all projects when I use Soundforge.
Under options (On advice here) I have made sure “close media files when not the active app” is selected.
Any suggestions ?

Are the media files on a network drive or possibly “Green” drives?

No all my ‘Vegas’ files are on a high speed 1TB drive.
The app is on a separate SSD.Only an issue when I finish edit in Soundforge and return to Movie Studio.

What happens if you click on an offline event?

Just tried that on a ‘clean’ new project … no effect, you can do nothing with the project until it ‘recovers/returns’ from media offline.

There’s something that the PC can’t find. Two things I would try.
First, use the Resource Monitor (Instructions) to see what Vegas is waiting on. Start the Resource Monitor, then start Vegas, go to Sound Forge, then exit back to Vegas. Now look at the wait chain for Vegas in the Resource Monitor. Odds are that there will be nothing there, but it’s a data point.Next, see what paths Vegas is using: (Instructions). Make sure the paths are valid. If not, change them. If any of the paths are on an SSD, move them to a folder on your hard-disk.
WARNING – Changing anything at random on the Internal tab can truly screw up Vegas.

Paths …. other than:
Last New Project Template
Sound Editor
Video Capture Ap, which point to install folders on SSD (C:)
All other path statements point correct locations on my E: data driveI used to have Sony Apps installed on separate HDD … but Sony advised they do not support an install other than on C: with OS.
I am unsure what you meant by wait chain ? ….. Sony VST server shows 6 threads, raising to 7 when I open soundforge … sound forge itself takes 31 threads and 3% cpu
When I saved and closed soundforge they returned to previous values -
Did you read the instructions I provided:
Go to Start, Run, and enter resmon
In the Overview tab, look for the program in the image column.
Right-click on the program image name and select “Analyze Wait Chain”” … but Sony advised they do not support an install other than on C: with OS”
Yes, you want to INSTALL Vegas on the C: drive, but you want all your temp files on a hard disk drive.Steve Mann

In your post you wrote: “Start the Resource Monitor, then start Vegas, go to Sound Forge, then exit back to Vegas. Now look at the wait chain for Vegas in the Resource Monitor.”You had left out the bit about right click on program name …Hence my comment “I am unsure what you meant by wait chain ?”
Anyway just carried out the action you meant … the program Sony VST server … under wait chain shows ‘sfvstserver.exe is running normally’ nothing else listed.

SoundForge isn’t your problem. Look for the Vegas image (Vgeas110.exe or Vegas120.exe) and try to determine what Vegas is waiting for.

I don’t have Vegas …. I have Sony Movie Studio 12
and am a beginner so please don’t take my r3esponse the wrong way – it will be my lack or understanding, I appreciate you are trying to help.The only thing that ‘arrives’ in Resmon with Sony name attached is the one I detailed sfvtserver.exe
However on closer look found there is also Moviestudeioplatinum image .. under wait chain for that it states it is Moviestudeioplatinum120.exe
checked responses here – nothing arrives in the wait chain window when the “Media offline” is showing
