It’s worth trying, but I did that exact same thing, and ONLY installed Vegas 10, and Vegas still crashed on me frequently.

I feel your pain — I’ve been having crashes typically every 10-15 minutes since “upgrading” to Vegas 10 in the Spring. Tech support hasn’t been very helpful on this one. Reported the problem in June, and even after reformatting my hard drive, re-installing Windows 7 & all updates, and installing only Vegas, it still crashed. I would expect that they’d ask for the project files and media at this point, but no such luck. Almost 5 months of crashing after the problem was reported isn’t fun. Transcoding the footage to another format didn’t help, either.
Next step is to see if Vegas 11 fixes the problems; if not, I guess it’ll be Premiere for me as well. It’s not as efficient as Vegas from a work-flow perspective, but it’s not crashing on me, which makes it a more effective application as it stands now. I’m bummed — I really like Vegas.

Interesting that you’re having crashes with Vegas 10 — it crashes on me constantly as well, and many of my projects include footage from a 60D — probably the same as from a 7D. I’ve had a bug report open for 3 months now, and still no progress on it. I’m hoping Sony will finally ask for the project files soon, so they can try it themselves.

So, just to follow up in case anyone was interested…. I finally decided to take the plunge and reformatted my system disk, wiping all software out. I then reinstalled Windows 7, brought it completely up to date via Windows Update, updated all device drivers, and installed Vegas and the one Plug-In pack (NewBlueFX Video Essentials II) that I use in most of my projects. Didn’t even install anti-virus software. And, the random crashes while editing my projects still occur.
For the other crash when trying to render an MP3 File, I’ve now gotten as far as reinstalling Adobe CS5.5, and the MP3 rendering is just fine. So, it’s not that which is messing up my MP3 rendering.

Media is Primarily MPEG2, 50mbps HD MXF files from a Canon XF300, and QuickTIme H.264 HD footage from a Canon 60D. Toss in some random still photos (JPG and PNG), and footage rendered from Digital Juice.

It’s not bad memory — I recently replaced all my memory to bring my memory up to 16 Gig. It was crashing with the old memory, and is crashing the same way with the new memory.
There are three basic types of crashes I’m experiencing.
The first is:
1) I’ll make some edits, press the space bar to p[lay, and it crashes.
2) I’ll make some edits, and click somewhere new in the timeline, and it crashes.
3) I’ll open a clip in the trimmer, play parts of it, click back in the timeline, and it crashes.
When this starts happening with a project, it happens every 10 minutes or so. Ctrl-S is now my most frequently used keystroke. :-/The second is:
I’ll go to render a WMV file of my project, and after just a few frames, Vegas crashes. I restart Vegas, open the same project, render with the same settings, and it’s fine.The third is:
I go to render just the audio of my project. I pick MP3 as the file type, and Vegas crashes. This happens on both computers that I have Vegas 64-bit installed, every time.The crashes are always access violations.
-
So, after working with tech support, it appears that at least some of my problems only occur when I have NewBlueFX Video Essentials 2 installed. Is anyone else who’s experiencing frequent crashes using that?

I upgraded to Windows 7 at the same time — Updated the OS, and went from Vegas 9 to Vegas 10 simultaneously. All hardware remained the same, however.
I’m editing in HD, using footage shot on a Canon xf300 and Canon 60D. The current project was shot almost entirely 720/60p, with some 1080p thrown in as well. Some Digital Juice stock footage and a QuickTime clip from Pond5.
My editing system is a Intel Core i7 processor, two 1TB internal RAID0 arrays; an external G-RAID 4 TB RAID0 array; nvidia GeForce 9500GT and an nVida GeForce 210 cards (3 monitors); 16 GB memory; PreSonus Firepod 8-channel external FireWire audio interface.

I’m not talking about in the timeline — I want a moving waveform representing the audio in an audio track superimposed on top of the video. I.e., the rendered video will have a squigly line moving to the music over the rest of the video.
After Effects has a plug in that does this – but I don’t have after effects. Look at this video for an example — go about 1:30 in to see the results.

I had a discussion with a Sony product engineer Friday night about this. The problem (at least the one that I was having) is because I did not use Sony’s content management software to copy the clips off the SDHC cards, which builds new files containing the entire clip from the 2-gig clip fragments on the cards. When I did this, all the 2-frame gaps went away in the new resulting clip — no issues at all. Why the clips won’t work stand-along in my editor (Sony Vegas) without there being gaps is a mystery, but using the content management software solved the problem.
