Vegas 12 Crashes Way Too Much ???
Since I upgraded to V12, and now more so with build 486, my Vegas is crashing 4-5 times a day for no apparent reason.
I’m running on a WIN 7 64bit computer. My Vegas is crashing more and more often and is happening in 6 different projects. No rhyme or reason I can see. I’m just doing basic editing and rendering. In the last crash, I wasn’t doing anything. It was sitting idol for a minute. I don’t believe it’s being caused by a corrupt file because if so, then all my projects would have corrupt files. All my files are m2t imports for CF cards. Crashes were much less in V11 and even in V10.
If I’m the only one experiencing this problem, then I need someone to review all my Vegas settings and my Q4000 card settings and any WIN 7 setting that might be causing this problem. Otherwise, I’ll be unable to edit at all the crash rate gets worse.
Thanks for any suggestions or help.

I also have had a lot of problems with pro 12. You might want to search my posts on “not responding” and Stephen Mann’s advice. I am new to Win 8 and new to pro 12, so there may be something very basic that is causing my problems. Pro 10 and earlier versions of Vegas were rock solid for me. Jim Murphy

You are not alone…vegas 12 is far from stable. I have all the same problems that you have. No reason why it crashes so much. Yes, I have all the latest drivers and revs. I love vegas when it works. But the progress from version to version is getting worse….more new features and never fix the old problems that have been there for several versions. With 12 I crash 20 times a day, and yes I send in the reports. Just like fcx help sell more avid and premier, vegas looks like it may doing the same thing.
I had to return to an older edit yesterday and in v11 – I went all day without a crash. Go figure. -
I had many problems with Vegas 11, but Vegas 12 is OK on a daily basis. (except NewBlue Titler Pro that doesn’t work at all).
I can render two complex projects at the same time and work emitting a third one.
I have realized that RAM is not very important. CPU is important, but one of the hardware issues that more affect Vegas performance are the Hard Drives.
The ideal scenario is to have the application running in one hard drive, the source media files in another hard drive and the rendering in a third hard drive.
The hard drives should be defragmented, be less than 80% full and not have physical errors. The fastest the hard drives, the better vegas performance. I wish I had solid state drives!

I have my drives configured like you stated and I still crash a lot. Newblue titler makes my system crash the most, and I have the latest build. I would think it was the culprit, bit I will even crash when I walk away and come back an hr later. I crash for various reasons, but newblue titler will make me crash fast.

Jay, the cause of Vegas 12 crashing all the time on your system has to be something wrong in your system, hardware or software related.
I can tell you the application works well. Much better than Vegas 10 and 11.
You should try a clean Windows installation and if the problems continues have your hardware tested for performance issues (Memory, hard drives and Motherboard.

I’ve been using vegas since version 3 …all my hardware is fine and work flawlessly in older versions of vegas and cs6. Before I every try a fresh windows install, I am going to build a new computer with nothing else installed..
Other people in the forum have done this and version 12 still crashes. I have multiple vegas systems that all have the same problems….I don’t think a fresh install of windows will do much. I just wonder if sony even looks at the reports we send in? -
If you are getting crashes with Titler Pro, please contact NewBlue so we can figure out why it is happening.

At this point, I will not even try starting a project in V12.
I built a new Win7Pro rig just for the new 64-bit V12 (i7-3770k CPU, GTX 560 GPU, 16 GB memory, 240 GB SSD, 1 TB HDD, 2 TB HDD). And the first time I tried it the program crashed, and it never stopped failing in multiple ways. The computer at the time only had Vegas 12 on it with latest build and all the current hardware drivers.
I have been running 32-bit version of V11 on the new rig with no major issues.
This is strictly a Vegas 12 problem, not your system. I know it might be months before Sony corrects these problems, so I am just going to wait it out for now…

I am going to go back to 11 on any new projects …12 is just broke….way too many problems.
Every day it gets worse…now I can’t look at any of my bins in my project- it will crash every time, but if I look at the clips in the explorer tab in vegas it is fine. Go figure.
I’m not going to listen to the robot message from sony ” re install windows”
Vegas 12 is the only software I have these problems with. I have it on 4 systems and all have problems.
Just remember what sony did with bluray….maybe vegas will go the same way….nowhere
