  • Vegas Pro 11 Does Not Open Project Anymore

    Posted by Anthony Diaz on May 27, 2012 at 7:47 am

    I have been editing a project using Vegas pro 11 going on 3 months now and all of a sudden when I try to open the project the percentage stays at 0%, as if the project is not loading. I wait and still nothing is happening, not even a bump up in percentage.

    I heard about this FileIOSurrogate.exe that runs in the background that may cause this problem, but I checked my processes and it is not running in the background while I try and open Vegas Pro. I even did some of the solutions that people suggested, by changing the compatibility mode of the FileIOSurrogate.exe to Windows XP service pack 2 and that still doesn’t work. I even held “Ctrl + Shift” while Vegas pro was opening and still nothing happening.

    I also tried reinstalling Vegas Pro 11 and the problem is still there.

    I am stuck, please help.

    You tried importing the project as you would a regular video clip?

    Hey Steve,

    Yes I tried importing the .veg file as a media but when I click the project, vegas freezes and I am forced to close the program.

    But, I just installed the newest build of Vegas Pro 11 (Build 683) and now my project loaded to 62% and would not go any further while I waited.

    I read on other forums that the problem might be with Quicktime files and the “FileIOSurrogate.exe” from Vegas pro, because I do have a lot of Quicktime (.mov) files in my project while I was editing because I was doing my effects in Adobe After Effects and exporting them out as .mov files and importing them back into Vegas. But this cant be the reason why its not loading because while I was waiting to see if Vegas would load my project past 62%, I checked my processes and “FileIOSurrogate.exe” was not running in the background.

    Also like I said, I was working with a lot of .mov files in the project before this problem came up. So why now would it stall loading?

    I have also read on other forums that the FileIOSurrogate.exe needs to be closed BEFORE trying to load a vegas pro project, because Vegas pro needs to connect to that executable while opening, but it doesn’t even appear in my process list as I am opening the project. So could the problem be that Vegas is trying to connect to “FileIOSurrogate” but can’t, thus the project not opening?

    I know this is extremely technical, and I don’t completely understand it myself, but like any other person I am researching online and constantly reading to see if anybody had the same problem as I do and found solutions.

    I hope I am providing enough information for this problem. Thank you.

    Have you ever found a solution to that problem?

    I’m having the same problem right now, so…

    Thanks.
