Sony Vegas Crashing Solution

Yes, It's just a learning thing. I need to watch some tutorials I guess, Like Gene, Vegas is what I've always used so that one comes natural.

I took a crash course for a couple of days so that I could do the tutorial videos a couple of years ago. But as any software, if you don't use it consistently, one tends to forget how to do even the simplest things. I admit, I have on occasion gone to my own tutorial videos to refresh my memory. Vegas is easy, fast and of course intuitive for those of us that use it a lot. But even it might be precarious for a new user too. The last version I bought was the V12 upgrade - I really regretted it as it was horrible.. now with the "patches" it seems to be somewhat more stable. One of the main problems they have (and so did Adobe CC at the beginning) was with file permissions on Win7 - maybe on Win8 too, but don't know as I will most likely never touch that beast. Hence, the "Run as Admin" resolves that. But it is not a clean solution for a large corporate environment as they usually won't give admin permission to employees just to run some applications. I worked with Adobe on these issues for a couple of months, testing, evaluation etc.. we discovered some weird stuff that the apps were doing to files permission-wise. Once we figured that out, I applied the same rules to Vegas and lo and behold, it started stabilizing as well. It usually ends up being a permission thing. Microsoft really doesn't make that clean or intuitive for the average user. Many computers have died due to Microsofts negligence on this issue. Why just the other day I saw a keyboard come flying out of an office window. :)

Didja get the shot of the keyboard?

And here I thought only pigs could fly. :)

Somewhat off topic, I've just done a re-install of Windows 7, with Adobe Production Suite on an AMD Phenom processor on a Asus Crosshair motherboard. After configuring After Effects to a balanced level function, I have had a lot of blue screens particularity when multitasking with uploading and AMD Phenomin AE, I could have sworn blind it was AE causing the problem..

Having checked this out, I found that it was the built in Microsoft Network adapter hogging too many resources. Installation of an older version of the drivers from Intel solved the problem.

Well looks like I have to do a crash course in premier.
I shot an event Saturday and spent the day yesterday editing only to have Vegas crash every time I try rendering.
Even with gene's fix.

Damn it Vegas.

I don't know if you can do this in Vegas but one of the nice things about Premiere is the Media Encoder. I trim / edit a clip, export it to the encoder, clear the timeline, do the next clip etc (do save the encoder list "just in case") and then when I have done my clips I just start the encoder running and come back when it has finished.

No unfortunately Vegas isn't compatible with any Adobe product.

I'll spend my day watching tutorials on the basics to get the video to the customer.

Sorry Jake, didn't make myself clear! I don't know if there is an option in Vegas to build a "list of clips to encode" as there is in the Adobe "World". I find this makes the workflow much quicker - this might make the transition a little less painful!

Oh sorry, I misunderstood.
No, Vegas doesn't have anything like encoder.
