V9.0 Crash on copy preview to clipboard

[Jim Cowan]

Hi,
I've been pretty happy with v9, its solved my issues with redbox
tapes (bad frame?) that lock the whole thing up, and until this
morning I haven't had any other issues that I'm aware of.

I jumped from v7pro to v9 pro, I do children's theater with
2 or 3 cameras, 1st acts run to 1hr 20min sometimes, I sometimes
use 80min tapes, but with v7 too many crashes with bad frames left a bad taste.
I'm using Z1/FX1 and HC3. All on an XPpro sp3 Q6600 with 4Gb.

This morning I was doing my color correcting (I usually make this the
last step) and for the first time I had Vegas9 crashing. I lay the 3 videos
in tracks, widest view on bottom, and use composite to cut between the
videos... To color correct I set the cursor at a spot where all 3 have
pretty much the same shot. I raised the level of 1 track and went to
use the copy to clipboard from the preview... hour glass. Next click
gave me a not responding. I tried it a couple times before deciding
to just eye it because I need to finish.

So, any one have problems during color correcting using the copy to clipboard
from preview? I don't recall if I had problems with the overlay button, and I
was doing 'good' preview.

thanks
