I’m able to open my Vegas Pro 8 project files with both 32bit and 64bit versions of Vegas Pro 11. It could be something in your project file. Other people on this forum have mentioned a helpful tip. Try running Vegas 8 and Vegas 11 at the same time. Now select the whole timeline in your Vegas 8 project and choose Copy from the Edit menu. Now switch to Vegas 11 and choose Paste from the Edit menu. You can now save your project under a new name as a Vegas 11 project.

Good luck.

I saw the opposite, but I may be limited by the drives. The CPU/Coress (all 12 in task manager) were running at 80+%

It took 19m:12s within version 10e and 17m:35s in version 11 build 425.

Although my camera (Panasonic HDC-TM900) saves to 4GB files, I found out that I could use Device Explorer in Vegas Pro 11 to import the 22.5GB MTS file (1080/60p 28Mbps VBR)

I had no problem dragging it to the timeline and viewing, although it did take a few minutes to build all the audio peaks of the 2 hr clip.

I’m running Vegas Pro 11 build 425 64 bit on Windows 7 Professional

I think you could say the 424 fixes are in 425 and that 425 is just the 64bit version build. I also noticed that my preview is better with my Nvidia GTX570 at Best-Full rather than the other lesser quality ones.

Notable fixes/changes in version 11.0 (Build 424)

Enabled GPU acceleration for NVIDIA GPUs with Compute Capability prior to 2.0 when using driver 285.62 or newer. See this Web page for a list of Compute Capability levels for various NVIDIA GPUs: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus.
Improved performance for GPU-accelerated video processing for certain GPU and chipsets.
Improved performance for GPU-accelerated Page Loop, Page Peel, and Page Roll transitions.
Improved performance for GPU-accelerated Noise Texture generator.
Improved performance for OFX media generators that are not animated.
Added support for 422 profile in MainConcept MPEG-2 custom templates.
Changed the default field order for MainConcept MPEG-2 NTSC DVD templates to upper first (which is more common and matches more source media).
Fixed an issue reading AVI files created by Autodesk 3ds Max.
Fixed an issue that could cause silent audio on certain long MP4 files.
Fixed an issue that prevented MainConcept MPEG-2 custom templates from Vegas Pro 10 from functioning correctly.
Fixed an issue that could cause MainConcept GPU-accelerated AVC rendering to fail in some cases.
Fixed an issue where previewing Cross Effect in the Transitions window could make the preview thumbnails incorrect for subsequent previews.
Fixed a Y-axis inversion in the Mirror plug-in.
Fixed an issue with certain settings of the Cookie Cutter plug-in not matching previous version.
Fixed a freeze that could occur when rendering a 32-bit floating point project with certain FirePro GPUs.
Fixed an issue that allowed compositor plug-ins to be dragged to events.
Fixed an issue that allowed more than one compositor plug-in on a track.
Fixed an issue with Color Corrector and Color Corrector (Secondary) color wheel interpolation when crossing the zero-degree line.
Fixed an issue that could cause Media FX to be dropped when relinking media.
Fixed an issue that could produce incorrect output for the Sepia plug-in when used on images with transparency.
Fixed an issue with the Levels plug-in that could produce incorrect results in some cases if Channel was not set to All.
Fixed an issue that could cause artifacts for high settings of the Feather control when processing was not GPU accelerated.
Fixed an issue that caused Stereoscopic 3D Adjust floating windows to be transparent when processing was GPU accelerated.
Fixed an issue that could cause an error when rendering to certain MainConcept MPEG-2 templates.
Fixed Cookie Cutter plug-in shapes for projects with nonsquare pixel aspect ratios.
Fixed an issue with Defocus, Glint, Rays, Soft Contrast, and Starburst when used with images with alpha channel or transparency.
Fixed an exception error that could occur with certain editing scenarios in the ProType Titler.
Fixed a crash that could occur when using the RE:Vision Effects ClampTime plug-in.
Fixed a case where a keyframe could be created for an incorrect parameter when using the Custom view of an OFX plug-in (such as Color Corrector).
Fixed an issue that could cause Paste Event Attributes to use the wrong event’s attributes when the source events were grouped.
When using the Upload to YouTube dialog, tags must be at least two characters long. The Upload button is unavailable if your tag is shorter than two characters.

My camera automatically splits the video into multiple 4GB files on the SDXC card, so I can’t really test this.

[Mark Barton]

I don’t have a single mts file that large (4GB max), but I will try to create one to test with right now. What version of Vegas are you using? I can test with Vegas Pro 8, 8.1, 10 (32/64bit, and 11 (3s/64bit).

[Mark Barton]

I was looking for a way to reproduce this in Vegas Pro 11 and the only other thing I can think of is that it is zoomed in on a gap in the timeline. Undo does not undo zooms.

[Mark Barton]

Did you drag the animation to the timeline within the New Blue Window? I was thinking that if I clicked it that it would apply, but I was just seeing the preview of it. Once I have it on that New Blue timeline, I can then see it in the Vegas Preview window when I play the event from the Vegas timeline.

It is working for me, but I did have some crashes when running the previous version of the NVidia drivers for my GTX 570 video card. NVidia just updated them this week. If you have an NVidia card and are using the GPU acceleration features in Vegas Pro 11, then I would recommend updating to the 285.62 or later drivers.

[Mark Barton]

I updated my GTX 570 to the NVidia 285.62 version on Windows 7 SP1 64 bit. Windows Media player plays my Panasonic TM900 1920x1080x60p native files fine. I have not tried the lower resolution formats though. My Vegas Pro 11 is now very usable, where it was hanging with previewing video with the previous NVidia drivers. I’m only doing small projects so far for personal use, and not using the multi-camera option.
