Vegas Pro Thumbnail Crashes?
I’ve got a rather unusual problem. I use Vegas Pro 9.0e 64-bit on Windows 10 with 12 GB of RAM. It worked normally prior to the recent OS upgrades. Now, Vegas keeps crashing whenever a new image thumbnail is created or when I open an older project. Not all the time, but that does tend to get a little buggy. Anyway, when using the Snapshot tool, it saves the snapshot as an image file like normal. But then, it tries to switch over to the Project Media tab automatically, bringing up the following problem report.
Problem Description

File: C:\Users\*****\AppData\Local\Sony\Vegas Pro\9.0\vst_grovel.logFor a while, it also seems to happen when accessing the Project Media tab directly. One message forum mentioned to just switch the Project Media folder to list or details mode, but I really don’t want to resort to that yet. Another suggested compatibility mode, but that did not work at all. Oh, and no GPU acceleration option in version 9, so that rules that out too. Does anyone out there know what else to try to get this problem solved? Thanks.

Hi Jason, track down just where your Vegas Thumbnail are stored and temporarily rename that folder to something like ProjectThumnails OLD. I had a similar issue recently and once I did this AND the Thumnail library was rebuilt – if you hold the Folder open you can actually see the refreshed Thumbnails being created – I could again see all my Media Thumbnails. I also did this for Vegas Explorer too. I’m guessing that the Thumbnail database got corrupted and needed to be rebuilt.
Once all is fine you can delete that OLD folder. If some Thumnails were missed, due to another Project it’ll just stake a bit more time rebuilding on opening.

Well, I checked to see if there was a folder with the thumbnails in them …and I couldn’t find one. The only folders I see in the Temp folder were for Device Explorer Thumbnails and XDCAM Thumbnails. Both of them had gone unused since 2015. So much for that plan. ????

The thumbnail folder is probably in your User AppData. Try a search for folder “Media Pool Thumbnails”. At least that’s where they are with Vegas Movie Studio. Might be different with Vegas Pro.

Not all that different. I went into User AppData and I do see the Media Pool folder …but it’s for VP 13. I couldn’t find one for VP 9.0. Strangest thing. ????

That’s interesting Jason as I still have Sony MS12 installed and I cannot find the thumbnails for that either!
