Hello. I am running Vegas Pro 22 and I have errors loading projects mostly everyday. Directories and Files are not corrupted. I work all day long in a project and then I save it. Next day I try opening it and after loading +-30% it stops loading. Same error message. The solution: renaming the veg.bak file to a new name *.veg and then I can open it. The work is saved, indeed. But this is not supposed to be this way. Any clues why this happens? Thank you!
@Paulo-Felberg the .bak file is a backup of the previous save and not a backup of the last save. Loading Vegas projects can take some time especially when there are lots of media imported. Make projects not unnecessary large or clean up project media = remove unused media from project.
@Paulo-Felberg When you save the last save twice, than the .bak file is identical to the project file. If the project file contains errors the .bak file should contain the same errors.
Something must be wrong on your system that reloading a project causes a crash. When not rebooting your PC, make sure that in General Preferences the "Close media files when not the active application " is disabled.
