Vegas 11 Crashing! Help!

[Matt Bigwood]

Edward, that's interesting because this version of Titler Pro has been more stable for me than previous versions.

[Edward Troxel]

That's good to hear. There's certainly been a LOT of work going on with both new features and stability.

So I did a search to see if anyone else had this and what they found.

From the Sony Vegas forum:
"This may not help in your situation but it helped me with my weird Vegas 10d crashes.

Do a Vegas "reset to default values"

Close the program. Now press CTRL+SHIFT while double-clicking on the program's icon to launch it. Continue to hold the CTRL & SHIFT keys until the program is fully up and loaded.

In newer programs, you will see a window that asks "Do you want to reset all preferences to default values?" Place a checkmark next to "Delete all cached application data" and then click Yes."

I tried it and so far so good!!

Just remember to check all of your preferences as they will be reset to default values.

Hope it helps.

Hello Jim!
YES! YES! YES!!!!!
Thank you soooooo much, Jim!

It works!!! After resetting all parameters and deleting all cached application data as you described, it's been rock stable, even on the big project with hundreds of clips!

I have to admit, I was quite sceptic to this procedure, but it turned out to be THE fix for me!

Thank you all for all your valuable input. Without them, I would probably have stopped using Vegas at this moment. Now I'm "back in business" and enjoy editing a lot :)

Don't know why I didn't try this before, but I've downloaded the latest build (682) of Vegas 11 32-bit and I don't seem to have the problem of the FX (color corrector etc) crashing the program every time as I did with 64-bit, build 683.

Rendering times in 32-bit seem longer, but it's a small price to pay if the program is more stable.

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, i5 2500K processor (no overclocking etc) and 16GB of RAM.

Edward, a question. Installed 120402 and in v11 b683 and noticed the better aliasing.

The thing is I was led to believe that NewBlue Title Pro would run in both v10 and v11. Well it does and works fine in v11 but shows the NewBlue watermark in v10 even after entering the serial number. You also can't activate Titler Pro from the Start Menu 'Manage Activation' dialogue. Don't tell me you need a new licence for v10. Do you have any suggestions?

Chris, the titler was a special "bonus" with the release of Pro 11 and only works on that version.
If you want it for Pro 10, you're going to have to buy it separately.

[Edward Troxel]

As Mike said, Titler Pro was bundled with Vegas Pro 11 and, therefore, will not show a watermark in Vegas Pro 11. As you've seen, it will run fine in Vegas Pro 10 (and other versions of Vegas as well) but will require a purchased serial number in order to remove the watermark in other versions of Vegas.

[Christopher Young]

Thanks Mike, Ed.

Hmmm! Thought that might be the case. Oh well let's hope v11 is becoming more stable. Still using v10 for most jobs. Could still conform in v10 then open project in v11 for final titles I guess.

Something I've noticed lately is that Vegas 11 is very stable when I work with MPEG-2 files, as soon as I start editing DSLR MPEG-4 files Vegas starts crashing on regular basis.
