My final output is expected to be full high definition to flash drives and BluRay discs. Standard DVD is in my past.

Paul, my original material is 1080-60p, but I cannot find either that option or MXF in the menu.
The only other media I use is a GIF for the opening slate.

Update: I split my 2+ hour timeline into five 30-minute projects and multi-camera editing now works! However, I have a new problem. See my thread entitled “rendering.”

Would disabling the Media Manager take a significant strain off of the system?

Thank you, Paul, I will disable autosave and try again, I will also not use the second monitor.
I am new to Vegas Pro. I used to use Pinnacle Studio 14. My subject matter is 3-hour musical stage productions with one wide shot and one closeup. The closeup camera jumps non-artistically from one performer to another, so I cut away to the wide shot during the transitions. One reason I upgraded to Vegas is so I can add a *third* camera shooting from a different angle and covering less area than the wide shot. Now, when I cut the “bad” video from the closeup camera out of the primary video track, I can preview which of the other cameras to go to instead of just relying on the second track always to be good. Multi-camera editing makes that easy. Otherwise, I could have stayed with Pinnacle.
As far as editing shorter segments and then, as an added step, dubbing the results in line, I might have to do that. I was hoping that my investment in Vegas Pro and an HP-Z230 with 16 GB of memory and a Quadro graphics card would make it so I wouldn’t have to.

The freeze-up was *not* in the same spot for all attempts. One time it was 28 minutes in, one time it was only 5 minutes in.

My timeline is two and a half hours long. After syncing, I created the multi-camera tracks with no problem. I was impressed with how little time it took to render. Then I enabled multi-camera editing. Still no problem.
I am using a two-monitor setup — the second monitor displaying full frame of the selected shot. My PC seems to be able to handle that without strain.
The video freeze-up of the screens occurred approximately 15 minutes into the continuous playback phase while I was selecting cameras. The audio track continued.
The only way I was able to recover was to end the application with Task Manager. I am happy that when I restarted Vegas, I discovered that the synchronized tracks had been saved. Apparently (correct me if I am wrong) the edits I had successfully completed cannot be recovered.
