Hi Mike.

>>All that anyone can suggest so far is to save and save often, making sure each save has a new version number on it too.

I apologize if that was me who recommended that. It does not help.

The only two workable alternatives I have found are either to render out the Media Generator as .avi and then bring it in as a video clip, or else generate in Photoshop, and bring it in as a .png.

So far, I prefer Photoshop.

I hope that helps.

I am sorry to hear about that. Cineform has always been very cool to me.

Hey Matt,

Thanks. I got it working.

But the Adobe Photoshop forum does not seem very active (at least not in comparison to the Vegas forum).

Is there a more active forum for Photoshop?

Thanks.

>>See if John Rofrano’s tutorial called Using Parent Motion to make a moving film strip is of any help at all.

That was not exactly what I had in mind, but that is pretty cool.

I can think of one location where I would like to use that effect, in the future. Thank you for letting me know about it.

>>I guess I’ll hope for 9b soon, or continue on researching Edius.

Why Edius, if I may ask?

>>Well, I re-installed windows 7 RC and had to re-install Vegas as well. Now both text and Pro Titler are working fine.

Please let me know how long it works for you. I had it working for a couple of days, so I thought I would use it on my next project; but then it started bugging again.

Some folks think it may be related to ‘undo’, but I don’t think I did any ‘undo.’ I think it just started bugging again on its own.

I plan to not use it until the bug fix.

Rendering Issues Low on Memory
Lots of people are having rendering issues “Low on memory” in VP9.0 and 9.0a. Editing WMV files seems to make it worse, but others have this problem even without .WMV. (I was having issues rendering AVCHD in 9.0, but 9.0a resolved my issues.)

On a fresh install of Vista x64 Ultimate, with a 3.0GHz CoreDuo Quad with 8GB of RAM and a 12GB paging file, I still have to set Dynamic RAM preview to 0 before I render (so I just leave it there). Then I reboot the machine (to defrag the paging file), close all other unnecessary applications, and kill Anti-virus/Internet Security. On VP 9.0a, it seems to render for me to Internet 16:9 Widescreen HD 30p. However, it will not render for me in MPEG-2.
There are at least four or five other folks on this forum actively experiencing “low memory errors” on rendering. One of them may be experiencing a problem related to using a Dell (which uses non-standard parts), but the others report that they did not have this error until they upgraded to 9.0a (i.e., they did not experience it before). They believe it is likely a bug in how VP9.0a handles memory.

Also check your paging file, and set it both the initial and maximum settings at 1.5 times the size of your RAM If that does not help, you may be looking at a fresh reload of Windows, to see if that helps.
If your windows is fresh, and your Vegas is fresh, and still you are having issues, I would recommend reporting the problem to Sony, https://www.custcenter.com/cgi-bin/sonypictures.cfg/php/enduser/ask.php, so their software engineers can work on a bug fix for 9.0b. Please give them as much information as you can regarding your system (processor, RAM, system specs, etcetera), your source material (.JPEGs, PNG’s, .avi, .mov, .wmv, whatever), and what you are trying to render to (Main Concept AVC, Sony AVC, Internet 16:9 HD 30p, MPEG-2, etcetera).

I am far from an expert, and this is the extent of my knowledge on this issue. I hope it helps.

Write Jake Segraves , and ask for the 64-bit beta. I had the same problem, but the Beta seems to resolve it.

>>I’m now considering Edius if Sony doesn’t get it together. I guess I’m tired of being a beta tester for that pays for the program on top of it.

I hear that. I’d much rather pay a little more for a program I can use reliably, than pay less for one I cannot.

>>Was about to revert to Movie Studio when I recalled that between working & not working I had unchecked the Option to use the Media Manager (in Preferences). So I re-checked this option, redid my titles … and since then (touch wood) my Media Generated titles have been stable through several shutdowns. So maybe this is a viable workaround for this bug (it must be a bug, since I can’t imagine that this is a designed consequence of the option in question). Hope it works for you too 🙂

Hi Mike.

I had all sorts of problems with it, and Mike K. helped me figure out how to make titles in Photoshop (which takes about 40% more time, but the quality is far superior).

I thought to use Media Generators, just to save the 40% on time, because I had shut down and then re-opened a few times, but just as I started to use them, they started bugging out on me again.

If you have Photoshop (even Elements), can you try making a template, and enter in your titles that way?
