I go through the same thing every now and then. The “Vegas has stopped working screen” comes out of the clear blue. I do notice it shows up more often than not when I am using BBC7. Most times it is when I am looking for a certain look to the fx. I am thinking I may not be giving it enough time to do the work, but how long should I be expected to wait?
My other peeve is being stuck at 33% after applying a fx to an event. I try to close out of Vegas and get a message telling me there is a background operation in progress. I go into the task manager and the only thing running is Vegas. I let it sit one time and it sat for half a day before I forced it to shut down.
On another note, when it does stop working, where does the report go and what is actually done with it?
