I guess that’s one way to shut a thread down.
Is maximum .veg file size a sacred cow (pun intended) not to be discussed? I sure can’t get an answer.

Maybe this is my chance to re-invigorate a thread I started Dec 13. My issue then was failure to open a .veg file. The .bak file would not open either. This was, for me at least, a very large Vegas 12 project. as much as 50+ hrs of HDV footage.(maybe more) As the editing progressed, my veg file got slower and slower to open, and then finally failed to open. the veg file was 3,846kbs when it refused to open. A restore file from a few days earlier did open, but it’s size was only 3,478kbs. I reverted to that file, lost 2 days work, began editing and again made it to 3,800 kbs when the new file failed to open on the next session.
Looks like I hit a brick wall. can you say “size limit”?
so I doubled my RAM to 24GB and the performance did not change.
The vegas120.exe in task manger process window showed approx 1,200,000k when they reached the point where they would no longer open.
The fileIOsurrogate.exe32 showed showed over 700,000K at the point where the project would not open.
I got no where in my last thread about this issue. Just a “ask Sony”. They recommended I install build 486 to solve the problem. LMFAO..
After that install nothing would open, not even the old restore file. The issue there turned out to be thumbnail creation. long story.
So…. I’m not asking anyone reading this for a solution to my little problem here. Just reaffirm that either “YES” we have built Vegas 12 projects that exceed 3,846kbs, or “NO” that is the largest .veg file we have ever heard of.

Your case my be related to other issues, as to why SVP 12 crashed from the get-go would be an indicator. My experience was that Vegas 12 was more or less fine until build 486 came along. I do grow weary of debating exactly what makes Vegas crash, while other editing software users debate more finer points. In order to trouble shoot this thumbnail issue I uninstalled and re-installed SVP 12 so many times my license stopped working. If it’s not one thing it’s another.

This was posted on a different thread a few days ago. It might relate to your situation. You might give it a try.
There’s a similar thread about this on the Sony Vegas forum and here’s the workaround, courtesy of Paddy from Sony.
Please navigate to the following folder (make sure hidden files and folders are being shown):
C:Users[your user name]AppDataLocalSonyVegas Pro12.0Media Pool Thumbnails
Select all of the contents of this folder, and delete them. Then launch Vegas again, and you should be back in business.

I appreciate the issues you’re having with Sony Vegas, we’ve all had bugs from time to time. But the thumbnail creation issue that causes Vegas to crash, I believe is isolated to the latest build of Sony Vegas 12 pro. The evidence seems to point to that, and I don’t recall any of these issues with Sony Vegas 10. Not that it didn’t have issues.

But what if my PC’s GPU was already turned off? What if I had never turned it on? What if my PC doesn’t have a ZXC95BPD so I can’t upgrade to the latest ZXC95DPX version?
So many questions, so few answers…
-
Yes, you’ll have to uninstall the Version of Vegas 12 you have installed to go back to an earlier build. In this case, it’s well worth it.
-
Turned GPU off a long time age. And it was the first thing I checked when this problem first occurred.

Very interesting. Going back to Vegas 11 isn’t an option for me as I have too much time invested in current Vegas 12 project, and it won’t open in Vegas 10 or 11. Here’s a link to earlier Vegas versions and builds. I used build 367.
