Copy and paste between Vegas 32 bit versions.

I just want to make sure that everyone realizes that you can cut and paste between 32 bit versions of Vegas, but currently not 64 bit versions.

I have in the past posted some pretty angry things about Vegas 11 crashing. At the time, I was so frustrated because I would open a project in V11, work for a little with no problem, then go to add text and V11 would start crashing. I would try to cut and past between V11 and V10 and it would fail, so I would be stuck trying to finish the project in V11 with it crashing sometimes every few seconds.

Had I known then what I know now, it would have been much different. I would have simply opened the project in the 32bit version of V11, opened 32bit V10, control A selected everything, control C'd everything, then control V'd into V10. I would have then finished the project in V10 and gone to sleep instead of working hours into the night and posting a rant some five or six hours into the frustration session.

A buggy version of a program is no big deal when you can go back to a workable version if you get stuck.

Anyway, I'm just posting this now for the benefit of anyone who (like me until recently) hasn't figured out that you need to do any copy and pasting between 32 bit rather than 64 bit versions of Vegas.

Laurence,
you can copy paste events from Vegas 11 64-bit to Vegas 10 64-bit if you don't have any OFX applied on your events, otherwise it will crash your Vegas 10 and therefore as you mentionned, you need to revert to the 32-bit versions.

Same goes with copy paste from Vegas 10 64-bit to Vegas 10 64-bit, if you have any OFX, it will crash the Vegas session you are pasting to.

This was a new bug in Vegas 10 which they fixed in Vegas 10d 32-bit if iI recall correctly, but the 64-bit version never got fixed in V10 but at least it was fixed in V11 64-bit.

Is that supposed to be 10 to 11?

V11 to V10.

Rob, thanks for the clarification.
