Vegas 10 crashing after adding OpenFX plugins

[Frederic Baumann]

Hi,

here are several suggestions to make some tests, in order to give us some feedback to understand the origin of the problems:

1) you might uninstall your OFX plugins, and see if the crashes disappear after that. The explanation is that OFX plugins are DLLs that are loaded at Vegas startup. if you uninstall them they won’t be loaded any more by Vegas, so if there is a crash after uninstall, it means the problem comes from elsewhere.

2) [This test might be dangerous for your project files, don’t do it if you have any doubt]
if you don’t want to uninstall, you may simply temporarily rename the directory where they are installed (one of the following:
– [Vegas Pro install dir]/OFX Video Plug-ins/
– c:/[Program files x64/x86]/Common Files/OFX/
– any directory listed in the OFX_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable

After renaming these directories, restart Vegas — it won’t load your plug-ins — and check if you still have crashes.

Reset your directory names to their original values after the test.

Take care not to save your projects during this test, as you might corrupt your project files.

3) do you have crashes even when the current project does not contain any OFX effects? The OFX plugin DLL functions, except a few ones called at startup/closing, are only called when plugins are actually being used on some clips.

Please tell us the outcome of these tests.

Hope this helps,
Frédéric

I’m getting this problem too! I thought no-one else in the world was getting this! but how do you un-install plug-ins you have already downloaded?
