Status of Vegas 11 and Newblue Titler crashing

[Frederic Baumann]

I have the build 511 of VP11, and have regular crashes, too, when I use the titler – but not as often as you. Too bad because it’s great… and GPU accelerated.

Interested in suggestions as well.

I don’t have a solution but had the same problem but only in certain projects which is strange. I’m staying with Vegas10 for a while. Not worth trying to fight it.

First of all, there’s a new forum here where you can post NewBlueFX inquiries:

Secondly, if you don’t post a help ticket at newbluefx.com, I can’t gather the necessary information to try and figure out what is common between the people that are reporting crashes versus the many people that are not. I’ve really not been seeing crashes on my system and I know many other users have not as well. Of course there’s so many variations of systems that we can’t test every possible scenario.

I can say: ATI cards seem to have many more issues than nVidia cards.

I had no problems with Vegas 11 64bit build 683, until I loaded the NewBlue titler. I can’t even put a clip on the timeline now, without it crashing. Uninstalling NewBlue did not help. It might be a coincidence,
even uninstalling Vegas and reinstalling did not help. I went back to V.8.1 of Vegas and it works. Is it possible to have two different versions(8 & 11) installed at the same time?

Simply having Titler Pro installed would NOT affect how Vegas works with placing media on the timeline. The only time Titler Pro would be able to crash Vegas is when either adding it to the timeline or editing it on the timeline or playback/render of that section of the timeline.

Well, it probably was a coincidence. I had no crashes until I installed NewBlue. Even though my GPU met the requirements for NBTP, it said it did not.

I changed GPU acceleration of video processing to “off” and the crashes stopped(for now anyway). My card is a Radeon HD 6490M 1 gig (HP laptop).

You’re on a MOBILE card. These cards are designed to work in one of two modes:

1. Full Powered – fully compatible mode
2. Low Powered – NOT compatible mode

When running Vegas, you MUST make sure that it stays in full powered mode. There should either be a control panel or BIOS setting (or both) to prevent it from going into low powered mode.

So it’s quite possible that Titler was reporting incompatible because it was running in low powered mode.

Thanks, I’ll look into that. I think the Radeon is fighting with the on board Intel graphics.

The Radeon was set to “full” but I still got the NewBlue error message. It said add a video card to your system. Setting Vegas to use GPU for video rendering got the crashes coming back. What a mess.
