And what do you know? Not a single crash using AVCHD for the last 90 minutes.

Thanks, Steve. I’ve seen those complaints to, so I guess I give up on Cineform. I sent them a complaint, but I’ll stick with the AVCHD. Maybe now Vegas 11 will be worth the upgrade since GPU acceleration may help. But I may just get more RAM. I’m using 10e and it’s not stuttering as bad as it did in 9, same machine.

No, and I’m trying to just start over with the AVCHD footage. It does stutter when I put in any effects or transitions, but I suppose I’ll just get more RAM.

Edit: Wow. I can actually drag more than 8 clips at a time into the project media without Vegas crashing.

I know, changing files to avi I think may be an issue. But I don’t have much of a choice unless I sell my cameras and get new ones. My Canon Vixia HF S21s were the best deal I could get for all they do, which is a lot for me. I have three and shoot events with them, and that’s how I make a living. I defragged my computer, cleaned up temporary files, removed the only game I had installed, did a virus scan, uninstalled all my Vegas software and reinstalled 10, did the fix with the 32 bit version of the avi.dll file, which just makes Vegas hang and then crash. Does anyone really think that reinstalling Windows will fix the problem?

And I have the latest version of Cineform, 5.5.4. Should I just sell my cameras and get Sony ones? I would happily switch editing software, I’d almost rather switch cameras since, when Vegas works, it’s superior to all other editors to me.

I have an i7 950 3.07 Ghz CPU
12 GB DDR3 RAM
GeForce GTS 450
Windows 7

I transfer all my footage from my Canon Vixia HF S21s to my computer via a transfer utility and usb cable. It’s AVCHD footage, which I then run through Cineform Neoscene to turn into avi. I keep all my footage and projects on external hard drives, which are actually internal hard drives that are in enclosures that run to my computer through an eSata cable.

I was able to open my projects for at least a few seconds last night and preview some footage. Now I’m getting the avi.dll error, again. I tried a fix that someone posted on Creative Cow a year ago (replace the avi.dll file with the one from the 32 bit version of Vegas), and it would just make Vegas hang and crash.

I want to reformat everything on my computer, but my friend built my computer and has my copy of Windows 7, and he hasn’t been able to get me the copy of Windows 7 for whatever reason.

What’s really strange is that if I open a new project and drag some of the media into the project media bin that is in the project that is crashing, Vegas runs fine. But I was well into my project, and this keeps happening on projects that I’m well into.

Double post.

[Angelo Mike]

Now more avi.dll crashes.

[Angelo Mike]

That seems uncalled for, Stephen. I mean, sure, we all have felt like mocking someone for not knowing that Windows XP is discontinued, and that Vegas 11 would (obviously) not work on it, but somehow it seems inappropriate to mock someone for merely not knowing something they hadn’t researched-this forum is here to help people like that, not insinuate that they’re some kind of idiot. And Brad’s issue is peculiar enough to our narrow world of video editing that it doesn’t seem worth condescending over.

He says he only needs to color correct one of the cameras. Media FX will affect the one he doesn’t want to color correct, and he’ll be left with the job of having to go back and adjust each event from the camera he didn’t want to change.

[Angelo Mike]

I deal with this a lot, and if you’re only try to correct one of the tracks, I just color correct one clip, copy it, then go to every other clip I want to color correct and right click on it, then click “Paste Event Properties”. I just did that for a two hour video. So it’s not ideal, but that’s what you have to work with with Vegas’ multicam editing.

VASST has a multicamera editing tool, and I think there are others, that claim to be more user friendly for multicamera editing (another problem with Vegas’ functionality is that if you want to add in another video track later, anywhere on the project, if you try to add it using multicam editing, you lose all the tracks except what you’ve already cut).
