Hmm, I made the project into 2 sub-projects, I’m now able to open my project with the clips being displayed on the timeline, but it won’t let me render fully. It first stopped at 35% and now on my second try it stopped at 83%, what’s wrong? 😛

Ok thanks, I will try that.

These are my specs by the way, is it not powerful enough to handle this type of large project? 🙁

#OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
#CPU: Intel Core i5 CPU 760 @ 2.80GHz (4 CPUs)
#RAM: Crucial DDR3 1333MHz 4GB KIT, CL9
#HDD: WD VelociRaptor® 300GB SATA and Western Digital Caviar® GreenPower™ 1TB
#Motherboard: ASUS P7P55D-E LX, Socket-1156
#Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 470 1280MB PhysX CUDA

No, I don’t want to throw it away, I said it out of frustration.

I did read the link you gave me, but I don’t understand much of it. My technical side of computers is bad, forgive me. What exactly am I supposed to do? I mean I read the post but it’s all nonsense to me (don’t get me wrong, it’s probably a good and helpful post but like I said, I still have no clue what exactly to do because I don’t want to believe I’m following it the right way and then doing something wrong that can damage my computer).

Ok, hehe, with that said. I appreciate further help on this “Windows on low memory” issue that might be the problem.

And to answer your other question about the format, I was going to render the movie as a .avi uncompressed movie, but then compress it with VirtualDub and upload the compressed file to YouTube.

So, I take it we’ve identified the problem here? The result of renaming/moving media files indeed lets me open my project. But I must do this on several files that are being used on the timeline and that’s almost the same as restarting the whole project, sigh.

As a “workaround”, you mean, if I’m willing to restart the project, I should render every video file in sony vegas as a MOV file? I tried to render my smallest file which is 135mb and if rendered as mov it ends up at a size of 900mb, imagine my biggest file at 10gb rendered into an uncompressed mov file.

Looks like I’m gonna have to throw this project away… 🙁

Unfortunately 1 or 2 files is not enough, I have to rename or move at least 10-15 of them in order to open the project and then I’ve basically removed more than 50% of the timeline clips. Is there no other way to solve this?

[Carl Lundell]

But how am I supposed to render it if I can’t open my project? If I rename the video clip folder, open the project, ignore missing files, Render as MOV, it will be rendered as a black screen.

Also, what is nesting? Could you explain this? =)

Hey Stephen,

I believe you’re right on the thing with the corrupted files, because I did a test by removing some of the clips from the timeline and that lets me open up the project again. The problem is that there are a lot more of them and I really want to keep those clips, it’s very hard to remake the clips I’ve done with Xfire.

The files that probably cause this crash, are all playable in media players like Media Player Classic, Windows Media Player, Divx Player and so forth, it’s also possible to watch all the clips in sony vegas, but why does it crash when I use them in the timeline?

For another test, I also made a new project by using some of the corrupted files, and as I placed all of them on the timeline it didn’t crash, how come? :O

Very odd in my eyes…
