Program freezes up and the screen goes “gray” This is often followed by a message like: “Program has stopped responding”.
OK, why has it stopped responding? The usual suspect is that a process required by the program has itself stopped or failed.
You can use the Windows Resource Monitor to try to determine what process has caused the problem.
Go to Start, Run, and enter resmon
In the Overview tab, look for the program in the image column.
Right-click on the program image name and select “Analyze Wait Chain”
If a process is the problem, you can try to simply end the process. More often than not (in my experience) this usually fixes the immediate problem and the program can continue running. Back up your work and Google the offending process to see if there may be a fix. (It’s a long shot, though.)Steve Mann

I’ve read your post many times and am completely confused about your workflow and goal.
Why are you even considering the temp folder? This is where Vegas put temporary files that the program crates as needed and they are deleted when you exit the program. Programmers call it a scratchpad.
Here’s how I work – and remember there are at least two ways to do anything in Vegas.
In Windows, I create a project folder, and a capture subfolder. All of the raw camera files go into the capture folder. I select all the media in the capture folder and drag it to the Project Media window.Steve Mann

First, I am amazed that anyone would notice a .01 second difference, let alone look for it.
But, maybe rounding error?Steve Mann

There is no single click to change the event length that I have ever seen, and I don’t see it in Vegasaur or Timeline tools, either.
What’s wrong with just changing the preferences or dragging the end of the event?
If you have a lot of images and want to reduce some of them to 3-seconds, for example, then make a region for your target length. Drag your region to the start of the event you want to shrink, then drag the end of the event to the region. Snap is your friend. Move the region to the next event that you want to be the same length.Steve Mann

Larry – try setting the preview to full-screen. Just an experiment.

I had exactly the issue you are seeing. I solved it by removing my ATI card and installing an nVidia.
Have you tried turning off GPU support?Steve Mann

Set it in the Menu Page Properties (alt-8).
But, I am not sure how you would get this warning because you can set the button color sets whether you have buttons or not.

At the top-center of every event is a blue rectangle. Drag it down to lower the opacity of the event. (I said Level, but I meant Opacity). Problem is you can drag this opacity line down from anywhere on the top of the event, and it’s possible to accidentally bump this line down to 99% without noticing.

MP4 uses Quicktime for viewing, and that’s limited to 32-bit AFIK.
Preview requires the processor to render every frame in real time – not an easy task. Anything your PC is running in the background takes some of the PC resources from Vegas. Drop your video level to 99% (an easy accident) and it could take 12 hours to render a 1 hour project.
