Vegas 9 Crashes While Editing
I was curious to know if anyone else is having or have had the same problem I am having now. I just upgraded from Vegas 8 to Vegas 9.0c Pro. I run a large-scale YouTube multi-track project and use Vegas 9 to sync up and mix all the tracks. I’m only running audio right now while I am mixing. I currently only have about 90 of the 238 tracks in Vegas right now and I am running into a crash problem. It usually only happens if I attempt to stop or pause playback–and happens quite frequently. Sony says that Vegas is unlimited.. or is it?
I’m running the 64-bit version on Windows 7 64-bit.
Intel i7 920 Processor OC’d at 3.2 Ghz.
6GB Ram
1TB HD (O/S, Programs and Vegas File)
2 500GB HD (RAID-Striped) (Media Files Only)FYI – I am barely using up any of my CPU power or RAM capacity.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

What does the crash say? What type of audio files? PCM WAV files work best. What make/model audio interface are you using? Are you using ASIO drivers? Vegas is unlimited but your PC is not. Eventually you will run out of resources.
You also might ant to try it without overclocking your CPU. Overclocking can cause all sorts of unexplained problems.

I have also had issues with crashes (while using version 8 and since upgrading to 9). The first thing I did that seemed to help was check the default folders for pre-renders and temps (audio and video) and change to folders on a separate drive. Even though I was upgrading to 9, it did change my default folders for these when I upgraded to something less desirable. That seemed to help immediately but I have crashed again since and I haven’t traced the reason for that yet. I am running on a system very similar to yours except it is Vista Ultimate 64 bit. I don’t believe the resources are being overtaxed or anything.

The program just stops responding, so there is no crash/error message. The audio comes from the audio side of the mp4 files. I can’t split them up because their timings have to be in sync when I transfer all the tracks to After Effects. The drivers are onboard drivers. I didn’t know about ASIO drivers until you mentioned it. Could that possibly make the difference? As for the CPU, the overclocking is set up by Intel, so it’s nothing too extreme that it could cause anything to become unstable.

I checked out getting an ASIO driver, and that seems to have solved the problem. I got mine at https://www.asio4all.com/. Vegas will give you error messages the first time you hit play after installing it and making changes, too. (Ignore any messages that say it doesn’t support the bit rate. I haven’t run into any problems yet.) Just hit play again and it works fine. I’m up to 110 simultaneous audio tracks now and I’m not having any problems, not even latency problems! ( Be sure to change your audio driver in Vegas by going to Options > Preferences > Audio Device > Audio Device Type.)

Just when I thought the problem was fixed, now things have gotten worse all of a sudden. Now I can’t even edit my Vegas project. Now I am constantly getting this error. It happens every single time I hit play, or even when I just open the project.

Hey, I tried downloading an ASIO driver from the website you provided but have no idea on how to get it to work or anything. Do you think you can dumb down the steps for me? haha

I have the same damn problem. I hit playback and it crashes. i’ve tried everything and nothing works. I’ve wasted a week of my life making a video and trying to fix this problem. I give up and i’ll never use an HD camera again. MAJOR BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you would like help, you’re going to have to explain what you are doing and what you have already tried.

I did something that helped. I opened a new project and put in one clip at a time and rendered it as a wmv. Then i replaced the files so the project was still edited. Some clips didn’t render properly and i was able to use the quicktime for those. It helps, but i’m not using any cameras that use quicktime files anymore.

For the future, WMV wasn’t a good choice either. If you are using a camera that shoots MOV files that Vegas can’t edit, try rendering to AVI. Cineform is the preferred codec choice but you must buy it (NeoScene $99USD). You can use the free Huffyuv or Lagarith codecs which will produce very large files but they are lossless. Some people like rendering to Sony MXF format and editing with that.
