Oh, why do I try...
Install Vegas 16.307 - click on the Vegas icon to start Vegas. What is it that they say - fool me once, shame on you, fool me once every single release of Vegas since the late middle ages, shame on me. How do I get my money back?
Seriously - I am trying to get out of the misery using Premiere Pro is, but it seems impossible for the Vegas team to make something that is remotely stable. Just once. Please. I've been a Vegas user since v9, and Vegas has gotten worse with every single release since.
