Vegas Pro 8 – “Error Saving File”
I started a new project in Vegas 8 the other day, I wanted to get my clips in and save off the project to edit for later. I threw in the clips, waited for all the audio to load and went for the save. I received the following error:
Error – ” An error occurred while saving the project file MemorialDay.veg. The file could not be created. ”
I’ve messed with folder permissions in file explorer. The folder alway has a green square in the ‘Read only’ box (not a check, just a green square) I clear the green square and save for this folder and all below and still I get the error.
I did one time get the project to save by naming the project something else and while in the ‘Save As’ dialog box, right mouse clicked the folder I was saving in and did the ‘Read Only’ box clear and continued. It did save the project and and when double clicked in file explorer brought up Vegas and the project.
But…
When I made a modification to the project and tried to save it gave me the same error as above. AND… when I closed everything and went back in using file explorer the project was renamed to PROJECT.veg.bku. I tried the same thing over again and that time I went back in the project was GONE! Not renamed, but gone.
I CAN’T HAVE THIS !!! I need to get some editing done.
Last week I upgraded my AVG Free virus application to Ver 8 from 7.5 like I was told to do and it made my laptop run ‘funny’. Everything took forever and some things just wouldn’t load, but they showed as running in Task Manager! WEIRD! I looked at Avira’s virus and it has some good reviews so I uninstalled AVG and am now using Avira’s Antivir. That’s when I brought up Vegas to get some work done. And now I’m not getting anything done except typing out my probelms.
One note: In the past I would be editing and go to save and get this error. I would try again a few seconds later and it would save. I never thought much of it. Now it will not save a project at all.
Has anyone encountered this?
Is it something to do with the File I/O manager of Vegas?
Thanks in advance,
Pat G.

Kind of a dumb question but, have you tried disabling your anti virus to verify that it is the problem?

Yes I did. I also did a System File Restore. I also did a lot of things and still could not get any project to save.
I ended up re-loading the operating system and after all the house-keeping applications and drivers were loaded…
I reloaded Vegas and all is back to fine. A little bit much work but I’m back in business.
Thanks for reading my problem and responding.Funny note: Of all my searching I could NOT find ONE post anywhere with a similar problem, NOT ONE! That’s crazy. I can’t believe that I created a unique problem, but I must have so I reloaded.
Thanks again.

I also have Vegs 8 pro and every one from Vegas 3 up except for 6. Of course the only versions still installed are 7 and 8. I also use AVG but not the free version. I have a 3 workstation pak of their newer internet security package, so it’s on all 3 of my computers.
When I first started using AVG years ago I used the free version like you’re using. Never once did AVG affect any of my software including Vegas and even while rendering. It works quietly in the background.
So the problem must have been with your installation of Vegas and as you said you re-installed Vegas and it’s okay now.
I’ve had a problem such as yours once but it corrected itself after tryng the save again. Ha! How about this one. Vegas swapped clips on me in a video I was working on. Yup! Crazy! Explainable? Not really. I was lucky it was the first clip and all I had to do was import the correct clip and re-insert it.
What happened was I finished a technical video, saved it and printed it to a DVCAM tape. Then I closed Vegas and moved all the files to me external storage drive to make room on my capture drive for another project. This morning I opened that previous project. Of course Vegas couldn’t find the files so I pointed it to the new drive and directory. File opened and the very first clip had been swapped with something else. Talk about the heart skipping a beat!!!
So wierd things happen. Thanks for sharing yours.
