I wasn’t being snippy, just brief. Feel free to ask anything anytime, no matter how simple the answer may be. For each post there’s at least ten others with the same question.

Split and Markers have nothing to do with each other.

Also, try removing all unused media from the media window using the purge (lightning bolt) icon.

In the “Render As” window, make sure the “Show Favorites Only” and “Match Project Settings” are unchecked. Also make sure that “View All Options” at the bottom is checked.

Well, I sure hope it stops at 100%. I would be worried if it kept counting up past 101%.
Go to Start, Run, and enter resmon
In the Overview tab, look for the vegas120.exe 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.)Does the target folder exist? Is there already an output file by the same name?

I forgot where I found this years ago when StackHash crashes were hitting Vista a lot.
“StackHash is not a real module. It is a constructed name because the Instruction Pointer was pointing to a known module at the time of the crash. The number after the StackHash_ is a semi-unique number calculated at the time of the crash such that if the same crash occurred on multiple PCs then they have a reasonable chance to be correlated.”
If you are familiar with programming, a Stack is where a program pushes data about itself before handing execution to a subroutine. That subroutine may call other subroutines. When a subroutine is finished, the contents of the stack are “popped” off and the program (or subroutine) that made the call to the terminated subroutine resumes where it left off. If this stack gets corrupted, you will get a StackHash error.
What complicates this is that the subroutines that use the stack can be anywhere. they can be in the application itself, in a system DLL or a device driver. Worse, your PC is capable of multitasking – running multiple programs at the same time. Any of these, in theory, can corrupt another programs’ stack.
I seriously doubt that the problem is in Vegas because it would have shown itself in testing long ago, and I’ve never seen this error fromother users’ crashes.
Things to try:
Disable any Virtual Drive software.
Disable any Virus checkers on your machine (temporarily).
Do not overclock. (Ever).
Remove unneeded drivers.In your specs, I saw: GPU: 2x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670
What is your PSU (Watts)? A marginal PSU can result in random bits of data in RAM being written wrong, which could cause this error. The stack lives in RAM. If you started with an off-the-shelf PC then added more RAM, hard drives and power-hungry GPU cards, your PSU could be marginally underpowered. But an underpowered PSU usually presents itself as a random PC reset.Also, do you have a Wacom tablet?
It’s puzzling that you have the same problem on three different PC’s. Are you installing Vegas and all of the supporting programs plugins and drivers before you ever start using Vegas?

You used this process, right?
Go to Start, Run, and enter resmon
In the Overview tab, look for the program in the image column.

Have you used resmon to see what Vegas is waiting for?

I said in another forum that Adobe has apparently run out of new features to encourage people to upgrade. The ransomeware model removes all incentive for them to invest in any product improvements. The bean counters will figure out pretty soon that they don’t need an R&D department.

At 8-bits, you have 256 colors, so when the compressor is compressing, the steps between shades of a color is larger. At 32-bits you have 4 Million colors, so the steps between shades of a color are smaller. The banding is still there, but in smaller steps.
