Though I can’t prove it, I think the problem was with the file all along. Sometimes QT player wouldn’t even open it on the first try. Same with WMP. It was a stubborn file from the get go.

[Larry Brewer]

No luck.. I had originally tried to import from a USB 3 external drive. After these codecs didn’t work I tried copying the file to my RAID 0. No luck there either.

(5 mins later)

And now it works. Seems if I drag the file direct to the timeline instead of going through the import file procedure all is OK.

Will wonders never cease?

This is the movie inspector data

24 bit integer (Little Endian) Stereo (LR 48 KHZ
Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)
Millions
FPS 29.97
data rate 216.43

Does this mean anything?

BTW I just upgraded QTPlayer to 7.7.1 (1680.42)

No improvement.

While crashes are a problem for me and my Vegas right now, I can’t say I’ve suffered the post-edit corruption you are experiencing. When I get it right on the timeline and save it, it is as good as gold.

What media are you editing… format, source and such?

[Larry Brewer]

QuicktimePro 7.6.9 (1680.9)

The QTplayer plays the file just fine as does Windows media player.

I have a 1080_30p H264.mov copy of the same file and Vegas imports that file just fine.

What gives?

[Larry Brewer]

I’m very happy to hear your systems are running stable. I have a few more programs installed, and multitasking is not un-common. Having said that, my past systems were also pretty loaded but Vegas crashing wasn’t a problem back then.

For the record, the crashes happen at different times for different reasons. Sometimes when splitting a clip, when dragging a clip, when importing a clip, when extending the length of a clip.

For trouble shooting purposes I use task manager to shut down unused processes, but no luck.

Are you using Vegas 11 64 bit?

Are you running Windows 7 64 bit?

My projects have a wide variety of clip formats… avi, wmv, HDV, mov and mpgs. The problem might very well be an issue with a certain format. HDV, by itself has always run very well.

I have began to use external hard drives without the usual USB enclosures, instead using USB3 docking stations. This might be problematic, but hard to say.

Thank you for your feed back. It is encouraging to hear good reports, I’ll keep trying different things til I find whats causing the issues.

I am using Vegas 11 and you are asking me if I’m having crashes?

Yep, I’m having crashes. Any solutions?

[Larry Brewer]

I found the solution, I think.

Options / shift preferences / internal / search autosave / change 300,000 ms (5 min) to some smaller figure. like 60,000 ms.

[Larry Brewer]

by multi-keystroke function, I was referring to the number of keystrokes I previously used to perform that function..

1. right click on event
2. click on properties
3. select / unselect mute box.

I figured it out, and mapped a shortcut.

Thanks.

[Larry Brewer]

IThat’s great! I can’t believe that shortcut isn’t already included in Vegas’s vast collection of shortcuts,

So how does on go about “mapping” a keyboard and assigning a ” , ” to a multi- keystroke function?
