Sony Vegas and Windows 10

[Ian Stark]

Also, Karl, what plugins are you using?

Thank you for the help

No plug-ins, so far as I can see

If anyone sees a bad dll etc, that could make it easier to hunt down the problem.

Can't see Sony being able to sell Vegas until they fix this problem - probably best I check their site for possible updates.

I have a software company but am not willing to put a tech guy on this as it could easily take a day and cost a bundle.

The strategy is going to have to be to just wait for a solution

[Ian Stark]

Are you saying you aren't using plugins in this project or you have no plugins installed at all?

Also, you didn't mention the video card you're using.

I recall a long while back someone had a similar problem that was caused by having an external drive referenced in the project that was not attached at the time of launching Vegas. That might be worth exploring.

That would be a problem. Sony Vegas is like a shell and can do nothing without plug-ins. It comes with a bunch of plug-ins included in the installation, so it is rather unlikely you don’t have any plug-ins.

If you really have no plug-ins, you either need to reinstall Vegas or have a hardware problem that prevents Vegas from loading them (such as a failing hard disk) or your system does not satisfy all the hardware requirements Vegas needs (such as a video card that does not support the level of hardware acceleration the included plug-ins expect).

For example, I currently have an Asus laptop and cannot run Vegas 13 on it, even though all prior versions of Vegas run smoothly. I would need a different video adapter, but since it is a laptop I have no way of putting a different video adapter in it, I just opted not to upgrade to Vegas 13.

[Karl Walter Keirstead]

Looks like I have AMD Radeon HD 7600 Series

I did the standard install so not sure what add-ins I installed. Where would I go to see the list?

In the Video FX pane, all the effects are listed. All of them are plug-ins. If you scroll down the list, expand where it says Sony, and it will show you all the plug-ins/effects that came with Vegas. And if you expand where it says Third Party, it will list the rest of them.

Similarly, the Transitions pane lists all the transitions, which, too, are plug-ins. And again, you can see which ones are from Sony and which from a third party.

Additionally, you can click on the CC icon at the header of a video track. Then click Custom... and from the pop-up window you will be able to see the list of the composite mode plug-ins.

[Karl Walter Keirstead]

Thanks..

Unfortunately since I cannot load the app, I never get to see the list of plugins.

I may consider installing Vegas Pro 13 on an old PC running Windows 7 just to see the list of plug-ins.

[Ian Stark]

You will be able to see which plugins are installed by running your earlier version of Vegas. Did you look at the external drive suggestion?

Well, you can always find the DLLs of all OFX plug-ins used. First of all, most third-party plug-ins will be in various subdirectories of C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins. In most cases each subdirectory will have another subdirectory named Contents, and that one will have a subdirectory named Win64 (for 64-bit plug-ins). Inside that directory shall be a file with the .ofx extension. That is a DLL and contains one or more plug-ins.

Additional plug-ins may be located at directories (with the same subdirectory tree) pointed at by the OFX_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable.

And the Vegas 13.0 specific OFX plug-ins follow the same tree in the C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas Pro 13.0\OFX Video Plug-Ins directory (or, \PathToVegas\OFX Video Plug-Ins if Vegas is installed somewhere else).

Temporarily moving any of them somewhere else might help determine whether any of them is preventing Vegas from running.

[Karl Walter Keirstead]

Thanks, again...

I am close to solving the problem.

If I start up my machine and immediately load V13, it loads. If I allow other apps to start up first, then we get to where "Creating Windows" stalls.

If I give V13 a load priority, the problem may disappear,

Inconvenient,yes, because I only use Vegas a few times a week but putting the computer in sleep mode, may solve the problem.

I will provide updates over the next few days.
