Now your workflow is confusing me. Walk me through it.

If it were that simple, I am sure they would, but the PC is so much a moving target, seemingly unrelated hardware or software that users add to their systems are what screws up the stability.
Yes, it may be a positive new feature, but in the marketing balance, don’t you think the “instability” complaints are a much bigger negative?
You may recall a few years ago when everyone was asking for GPU support (“because Premiere has it” was the main reason given), I warned then – be careful what you ask for; you may get it.

Make sure you have plenty of space on your temp folder. If your hard disk is nearly full, that could be your problem.

John, in my opinion, GPU support should default off until the user knows the PC and Vegas are stable. Only then turn it on.

“I saw the new Premiere actually tells you if the selected media has been put into the timeline. Now that would be an advantage I would understand. Pretty sure we dont have that yet. ”
Vegas has always been able to tell you what media hasn’t been used on the timeline. One of the columns in the Project Media window is “Use Count”.
I usually edit straight to the timeline, but sometimes I will use the Project Media window because of a very subtle difference in how Windows selects files in a drag/drop operation. If you sort your media files in Explorer then click on one of the selected files and drag it to the timeline, Windows will drop the one your mouse is over in the first position on the timeline, not the first in your selected group. If you drag them into the media window, then to the timeline, they events will be in the correct time sequence (oldest first).
This is a “feature” of Windows that has been around since before Windows.
In this image, I am in windows Explorer, and I’ve selected six media files to drag into Vegas. Note that the files are in date/time sequence from newest to oldest. Note also that my cursor is on the file ending in “334.m2t”. Let’s drag this selected bunch to the timeline.
And the first event on the timeline is “…334.m2t” – the file that was under the mouse pointer when I dragged the selected files to the timeline. The rest of the events are “sort of” in sequence, but rearranging them is a pain in the butt.
Now, lets instead use the Project Media window in Vegas. Select the same media files in the Project Media window and drag the group into the timeline.
Now the events are all in the correct sequence.

First step to isolate the problem, turn off GPU support.

First, I don’t know how much I can help because in thirteen years of using Vegas, I have never used the trimmer. It is a complete waste of my time as I find that editing on the timeline is much faster and simple.
It looks like you can only save markers on the timeline in the “render as” menu.

Yes, this is the right forum, and your workflow sounds appropriate.

Shoot another test, but switch the fuzzy and see if the response is different. The fuzzy pad over the microphone can definitely reduce the highs, but that sounds like a lot.
