The seems to happen to both Vegas 8 and 9. But 9 just crashed as soon as hit render. 8 would crash at a certain point.

The began when i installed Digital Juicer Juicer 3.59. I bought 8 DVD sets of Digital Juice products for video editing (Motion design elements, swipes, Jumpbacks, etc).

The Juicer is a front end for converting and modifying the assets before rendering them out to your project. I rendered them in the native QuickTime format, and figured the files were too big for Vegas on my machine (Athlon XP 2800+ 2.01ghz, 1.5 GB ram, 512MB nVIDIA GF 7600GS).

I did manage to render a small logo revealer from Vegas Pro 8c. But every time Vegas 8 got to a frame that contained a swipe it crashes.

For the Vegas 9 issue I went to Sony’s site and downloaded the updated aviplug.dll and placed it Vegas 9 plugin folder. No go. So I uninstalled Vegas Pro 9. But I am still get a full render in Vegas Pro 8. I’ll try without the swipes (those are about a 500mb) and see what gives. I tried HD render, it failed, and then sized all the assets to 720×480 (The smallest Juicer will allow for SD) – it still crashes at the swipes frame.

I paid money for those video tools and i want to sue them I have ideas that need to get out of my head and into my videos…uuuggghh! I think I may need a “bigger” PC. 2Ghz ain’t cutting it anymore.

Thanks that helps. I never noticed it was standard defintion (SD) camera. I want an HD camera, so thanks again for the clarification.

I don’t have the Sony setup folder. I felt since it was just a setup folder I deleted it. If I run the install again, will it work?

Thanks Jon, I didn’t even know that. ‘course I haven’t read through the entire manual yet. I just got the program last week. 😀
