18 crashes today on current V11 version.

I thought I would just load my current V10 project into V11 for the last few touches and final render. 18 crashes later, I'm giving up on V11 until the next revision. I do this for a living and it just cost me a couple of hours.

I love Vegas. I like the capabilities, I like the GUI, I like everything about it but the constant crashes. I'm going back to V10 for a while, and as much as I hate to, I'm beginning to look at other editing software. This version was nowhere near ready for general release.

I have the same problem. I am editing uncompressed AVI files, DVD frame size, at present, so no highly compressed AVCHD files at present. I used to get an occasional crash, maybe once a day, but now a crash can occor just 30 seconds into a session, and every minute or so. I just keep clicking Ctrl+S, and restarting the program every time, without losing too much work, but this is less than ideal. I don't even get an option to send a report anymore, just "Vegas Has Stopped Working", with no clues as to why.

Is there any way of diagnosing the cause of the crash? If I could just find the cause, then there may be a way of resolving the problem. It might be hardware, or software, I just do not know. have looked in Event Viewer (Windows 7) but found nothing that makes much sense to m.

We run Vegas on (5) systems that use Workstation class motherboards. I used to install computer labs for schools & small offices & know how to create very stable system. For instance I can render projects 24/7 with Vegas 9e and PPro.

Vegas 10e renders clips to black due to known compatibility problems with 3rd party codecs like Blackmagic M-JPEG 422 and Cineform.

Vegas 11.595 renders even more clips to black (a few frames here & there which is even worse because they are hard to detect...) AND Vegas 11.595 crashes about every 30 minutes for me using CPU only rendering. (I do not even have the option of GPU rendering since my GPUs are older...)

I installed Vegas 11.595 with NOTHING ELSE except known stable drivers for my systems and Windows 7 SP1 and two 3rd party codecs: Blackmagic & AVID DNxHD.

IMO if it doesn't run on my systems then it is broken. I even tried installing it on a Vista 64 system and get the same results. There are clear problems with how 11.595 interacts with 3rd party codecs and FX and until these are resolved it remains unusable.
