Vegas Pro 10 & 11 Crash when Importing ProRes 422 Files
Hi. Need some immediate help if possible. I’m running a 32bit Windows 7 on a bootcamp partion on my iMac 24″ which has a 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU with 4GB of RAM. I have Vegas 10 and Vegas 11 both installed. I have 150 ProRes 422 Files that I need to import into Vegas.
The problem I am having is, every time I import the ProRes files into Vegas 10 or Vegas 11, the thumbnails of the files in the media pool eventually stop showing and all you see are icons that represent the files.
I tried importing them in smaller groups like 10 files at a time, and I am able to get most of the files imported with their thumbnails showing perfectly but once you reach a certain number of impoted ProRes files, all ProRes files after that point and on have no thumbnails. So from the 97th imported ProRes file all the way to the 150th imported file all have no thumbnails showing and then if I hit undo, the program will just crash.
I have done some tests and it has to have something to do with the ProRes files because I imported the same 150 video files as H.264 MOV files and all 150 have thumbnails showing as they should. Has anyone heard of this problem before and if so can someone please explain why this is happening and if there is a fix or workaround for it?

Ok so is this same problem also occurring in Sony Vegas 12 as well? Like, did Sony ever come up with a fix for it?

No its not in Vegas 12, all fixed with a number of other
fixes and enhancements, added features and a lot more stable.Steve Rhoden

You could convert the ProRes files to CineForm or Avid DNxHD or even Sony MXF 422 and have no visual loss in quality but a much better editing experience. I would use CineForm or Sony MXF because DNxHD will still use QuickTime and have other limitations in Vegas Pro.
