Hi John,
I guess you’re one of the lucky ones as it seems many others have experienced issues with Vegas 12. Many reports of issues present in Vegas 12 which did not exist in previous versions. Like what I’m experiencing.

Tanks for your tip Steve.

It helped me. I simply cut the first few frames from the event image and re-sized the event to it’s original size. Appears to have worked. There was another glitch somewhere else, something other than the orientation this time, did the same workaround and this band-aid worked.

Thanks Mark,
I was working on it last night. I ended up using a 4:3 project size. It matched my photos the closest in terms of size.

It’s a personal project and therefore was willing to concede somewhat.

What’s strange, and if someone could explain, is that although I “matched output aspect ratio” on my pics, and although it all looked fine in the preview window, after the render (4:3) main concept mp4, I now have a very thin top and bottom thin black line in the quicktime viewer output.

Hey Steve,
Thanks for this post. I think this is just what I’m looking for. I missed it in my search.
I’ll give it a try.
Thanks!

Hi Steve,
the image looks perfect in Photoshop.

Hi John,

Thanks, I’ll try that.
Many crashes and hangs. AT times just loading a project, and starting to play it will hang a few seconds in. The CTI will continue to move, the sound will continue but the video on in the preview window will stop and vegas will become unresponsive.
At times renders will crash, other times it’ll just crash during editing or hang and become unresponsive. The list goes on. I ensured I have the latest Nvidia drivers from my card, use very few effects.

Just a very frustrating experience which didn’t happen in SVP9 (11 was better than 12 but with a few issues… after several Sony software releases)

Very disappointing. Thanks for reporting Jorge.

I’ll consider switching to Adobe Premiere as I honestly no longer find Sony to provide good pro quality editing software nor support.

Makes me wonder if SCS is a software shop of a handful of developers.

Back to more editing… and crashes.

Thanks Steve,

Oddly enough, it somewhat worked by adding effects to the track but… turning them off (uncheck each). The singer could hear the effected vocals live but it was recorded dry.

I don’t understand it… but it worked :).
I was not able to monitor it myself though.

Hi Jorge,
I had very similar problems and also wasted lots of time on a project trying to render. I posted my issue here on the COW but no response.

Not a fault of the cow, it’s a deep issue that SONY should resolve.

My project was crashing at exactly 60% if I recall. Right where there was a cut. I tried moving the cut, same,if I rendered each clip from both sides of the cut, no problems. In the end I had to render in sections like you did. sucks!

Please post here if you ever find a solution.

Hi Matt…
I think I’ve got it somewhat working!
I turn the “Monitor” ON for the vocal track. I record and the reverb is applied as I hear it in the headphones. AND… it’s recorded dry.

Unfortunately, I can’t monitor the singer, other than watching the meters and listening to her sing “dry” in the room.

I’m don’t understand how it’s possible that the reverb is heard but recorded dry… but it works. 🙂
