VP pro11 issues
Well, I loaded VP11 and finished a project with footage from my EX3. All edited well and rendered except for a render to mov which didn’t work, but John Rofrano posted a work-around.
So then I captured some old footage from an SD dv camera and started a new project with settings matched to the DV.
Oh boy!! I added a dissolve… OK. I added another dissolve and dropped a GPU spiral transition.. Crash!
Recover the project and added a gpu dissolve— ok. Tried the spiral again, just in case.. and crash.
Recovered, turned off GPU and restarted. Added dissolve. OK. Added spiral.. crash bang wollop… Flash of red screen in p/v then good old misty white and Vegas informing me it had stopped working. (Do tell!!) A balloon popped up from the task bar saying nvidia 295.73 had recovered from an error.
So VP11 can’t handle DV avi files it has captured. Unfortunately I still get work with avi files, so looks like VP11 goes back in its box and I consider I have wasted my money on this version.I agree with Angelo Mike in that the new look render dialogue looks pretty, but is disfunctional. Bring back the old version. I don’t need pretty dialogue boxes… I want functional ones that control a program that works.

Seems I didn’t turn off the GPU acceleration, so when I did things behaved normally. (Egg on face).
However, it does mean the GPU feature is a flop. Pity I wasted my time and money on a new graphics card and system upgrade. -

The Render menu is easy enough to use-it just needlessly makes you click through more options to render a file than Vegas 10 did.

Exactly my point.. the old menu was fine.. why all the fancies? Spend more time testing the program instead of fiddling with asthetics.
Make no mistake.. I love the way I can edit in Vegas, so when things don’t work the way they are claimed to, it is disappointing.
And yes… I have the latest drivers. -
Well Phil, welcome to the club! As I mentioned the other day, I had the exact same issues after installing 11 as well. I have had that same Nvidia driver crash, and yes you do have the latest driver for it.
The one thing I wanted to mention about the render dialog… If you click that match source settings it does clear some of the clutter away…
The one big thing Sony needs to add to it though, in Premiere when you are changing render settings, it actually tells you how big the file will be…That’s a HUGE feature for me, since some of my clients have file size limitations (Free Vimeo has a 500 MB limit for example)
Sony really needs to play catch up if it wants to stay in the game!

I like the new “Render As” menus. Especially the ability to “star” favorites which simplifies the process.

Another irritating feature-whenever I open Event FX, the Pan and Crop window automatically opens behind it, and I have to close it every time I use Event FX. Is there a way to stop this from automatically opening when I open Event FX?

Angelo – Pan Crop is the default f/x now, and I agree that it is rather annoying to always pop up. A possible workaround is to delete Pan Crop from the f/x chain after adding another f/x.

If you dock the event FX it won’t be noticeable as the event you want to add next will be docked over the pan/crop one.
