I carefully set up a new PC and installed Vegas 11 for the first time back in June. Had constant crashes. (Despite having installed the latest Nvidia drivers for my GeForce GTX560 Ti) The crashes stopped overnight completely when I deactivated “GPU acceleration of video processing” under Options – Preferences – Video.

I’m surprised that this temporary fix has not been mentioned in this and other recent threads. I thought it was originaly her on Cow that I read about this workaround. Maybe not.

From what I have read it appears that this gpu acceleration is one of the new features of Vegas 11, to speed up rendering.

I have only worked on 1 project and that was only SD video. Apart from all the usual scene crossfades and titles, and some sound FX and level changes, it was quite a simple production. The rendering went faster than I expected with the GPU acceleration off. I have no idea how it would go with full HD material.
