Vegas 8.0c transition glitch – driving me crazy!
I have recently moved a project from Vegas 7 to Vegas Pro 8.0c, but after working on the project for a few months off and on, I’m noticing a severe glitch during my transitions. A lot of searching has resulted in very little good knowledge on the topic.
When I put on any kind of transition, it will occasionally insert full-opacity frames in the middle of it from the end of either clip. This occurs with crossfades and pushes, as far as I’ve tested, because those are the two that I need. Sometimes, closing Vegas and opening it again fixes it, sometimes it doesn’t, but it’s there in the render as well, and it never fixes ALL of the transition glitches in the project. Once one seems fine, I’ll close it and open it again, and it’s back. You can imagine how frustrating that can be.
I could not tell you when this started occurring, although I am sure it was not happening when I was using Vegas 7. However, this was months ago. Unfortunately, it is not an option to go back to the old Vegas 7 file, unless there is some sort of forwards compatibility?
My project is using Cineform HD 24p HDV footage, and a bunch of nested compositions. It is feature-length, but I have also tested two nested comps in their own smaller project file, and the same problem occurs.
I have an Intel Quad 2.4 ghz with 3 gb ram and and Nvidia 8300 GS. It is running Vista Home 32 bit.
Any suggestions? PLEASE send them along.

Back up to the basics first before getting to in depth. Since you said that restarting Vegas sometimes fixes the problem then I would suspect something else is at fault. My first suggestion is to reset Vegas to its default settings by holding down Ctrl shift. Also be sure you do not have anything else running in the background eating up resources. Run a check on your memory using any number of free downloads. They do a much more in depth check then the one provided on start up. Open your project and give it a new name, then delete everything but a couple of clips that are the problem. Delete all unused media as well. Then try rendering again to see if that helps. Let me know if this helps at all.
