  • Vegas S/M Platinum 9.0 shows red frames

    Posted by Julia Abelle on May 14, 2009 at 5:28 pm

    Was about to complete my video, just to add a few resting files, as the program upon running the project began showing some frames as red and which didn’t show. The last time I saved my work all frames were good.

    Now it is always like some part of the track is red, mostly the last frames. But sometimes it shows them OK! though the red ones become in the middle. And so Vegas crushes now all the time, too, which it wasn’t doing before.

    I am sure those red files are not corrupted as they show sometimes on the expense of the others, but what’s going on? Any ideas?

    Here is how it looks.

    Have you checked the health of your hard drive that contains the footage? I had this issue once when my PC was struck by lightning via the ethernet connection. The hard drive was failing and I was getting random red frames.

    Try moving your footage to another hard drive and have Vegas to find it on the other drive.

    You may also want to check your memory and make sure you have plenty of free memory.

    I am thinking of reinstalling the system which maybe help cause as 24 GB of free space on my PC should be enough, shouldn’t it?
    Then, I made an attempt to install Vegas on my extra drive with plenty of free space but it works even worse there 🙁 In addition to the reds the audio-track failed there.

    Now Vegas crushes every time I try to start playing the video closer to the last files as soon as I move the cursor over there after opening the program.

    Maybe downloading Vegas 8.0 or any other compatible Vegas, and trying to open my video in it, will do any good..?
    Dont’ know what might be done to save the video..

    Julia,
    What type of files are you working with? A hard drive will often begin to perform poorly when it gets close to being full. Many computer geeks say that your hard drive should never be over 75% of its capacity.

    The clips I use in my video are .wmv
    I put them in Vegas as small films and work on them with effects inside the program.

    You are surely right, maybe the problem with the crushing lies in that my HD is 145GB of which 122GB used and only 22GB free.

    I’ll reinstall my windows with first almost only Sony Vegas on HD and see if It works better, so I can at least finish this tortured video 🙂
