If a large project file locks up while loading, try this: 1) open Vegas Pro without a project file, 2) press Alt-D D to reset the default window layout, 3) load your big project file, 4) press Alt-D whatever to restore your preferred saved window layout. I can’t figure out exactly why this works, but it seems to have some relationship to the Trimmer window being open.

[Ever Giron] When I place a PNG graphic on top of my video and try to resize it, it goes all over the place, it doesn’t maintain the aspect ratio,

In porting a project from SVP 11, a png graphic that was working perfectly acted crazily in SVP 12. Sometimes the slightest adjustment of scale factor would cause a sudden, huge change in size in the video preview screen. Rotation became unpredictable as well. After many hours of trying to figure what was going on, I came to discover that the pixel size of my png file was way to high for SVP 12. Resized it down to around 1300×1000 using photoshop. Now my png graphic behaves correctly.

Thanks Jon, your tip saved me who knows how many hours. Recently had installed a FirePro V3900 on my Gigabyte 890 mobo. It chomps through many other rendering tasks, but crashes when used with Main Concept .mp4. You’d think that Sony would fix this – it’s hardly an obscure issue in light of the emphasis that Sony makes on GPU rendering.
