Vegas 11 Pro 64 bit is crashing like crazy
I can’t even finish my work. Every minute or two my project is crashing, either when I do playback or when I try to render to Mainconcept mp4.
I don’t have any complex plugins or anything. Just Canon Vixia HF S21 footage and t3i footage at 1920×1080. I want to reinstall Vegas, but I’m worried about losing all my plugins that I’m using for color correction before the project’s done. I know I can save those presets too, but I don’t even want to risk it since this is for a client and needs to be done tomorrow.
Here’s the error message.
I’ve had Vegas 11 since Oct 2011 and though it was very buggy at first, it largely has ran fine since then. What’s going on?

I clean reinstalled Vegas, deleting everything in the registry. Still no improvement.

I turned off GPU acceleration and am reducing Dynamic RAM Preview to 100. It makes projects not crash for another 30 or 60 seconds, which is letting me get some work done. But this is ridiculous. Playback causes crashes. Rendering causes crashes. It’s taken me about five hours to do work that should have taken me twenty minutes.
Edit: Oh, great. It’s also causing huge Flash transitions where I didn’t put any.

In virtually every case, an “unmanaged exception” is a driver problem. Finding which driver is causing the problem is a tedious and frustrating process.
Did the system ever work properly? Can you do a system restore to that date?
Have you installed any hardware or software lately?
Is your PC overclocked? Overclocking is generally bad for video editing.
Is your GPU overclocked? (I just recently discovered that some Geforce cards are overclocked from the factory. If you have “OC” in the product name, beware).Steve Mann

Haven’t installed any hardware or software, and my CPU isn’t overclocked. I have a GeForce GTS 450, which I don’t believe is overclocked from the factory. But I still have this problem with GPU acceleration off.
I managed to finish one stage of editing, and now rendering is completely shot. Either it crashes and I get the error report immeditaely, or it just endlessly renders to black at 1%.

I turned off GPU acceleration while editing, but didn’t while rendering. I just did, and rendering’s pretty slow, but it’s at least working. I’m on track to render a 6:30 clip for 45 minutes.

I haven’t even upgraded to Vegas 12. I don’t know if I should at this point or if I should just get Vegas 13 (while keeping Vegas 11 and 10, of course, while Sony works the bugs out).
This is driving me insane. I should have been done everything early last night. Vegas crashed when I fell asleep and was rendering my 6:30 video, so now I have to try that again. Then I’m going to try to ro edit everything for the DVD and render that, deliver it to my client, and smash my face through a window.

I have found Vegas Pro 12.0 to be more stable than Vegas Pro 11.0 but I feel your pain. Do you have Microsoft update turned on? Could that have updated your video drivers without you knowing it? Something has changed on your computer to destabilize it. Software doesn’t work one day and suddenly not work the next unless something has changed. You might want to restore from a recent backup from when it was working.

Yes, I regularly get Microsoft updates. I don’t make system restore points, though.
And now I can’t even render that longer video without Vegas crashing in seconds. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I sent a message to Sony (in addition to several dozen crash reports), but that won’t do me any good when they get back to me in a month.
I would try upgrading to 12, but I can’t afford it right now, and I need to get this video done today. I could have had it done 10 times over by now if it wasn’t for all these crashes.

I copied and pasted the entire project into a new project, and it mostly works fine now. No crashes. Just a few bugs with playback like flickering black occasionally.
Just treat Vegas like it can’t be trusted, ever, and it may work. I should be sleeping right now.
