Steve, I appreciate your willingness to help out–and your view that alleged defects in Vegas Pro are not necessarily the culprit when it crashes.
I’ve been a Vegas user since version 3, and I love working with it. My occasional experience with other systems–e.g., Final Cut Pro, iMovie, Premiere Elements–have convinced me of my good luck in discovering Vegas early on and sticking with it I’m happy with Vegas Pro 12.
For me, a Vegas crash is fairly rare, and I’ve learned to deal with it. I save my projects frequently, and when the odd glitch comes along, I get help here and elsewhere on the Web.
Thanks for your contributions here, and for supporting a great NLE.
