I've had problems with Bezier masking tracking in VP17 recently with similar crashes. It seemed limited to when I created custom masks and tracked ~5 minute clips (tried h264 original clip and a transcoded cineform version to eliminate the possibility that it was related to heavily compressed codecs). The tracking would proceed fine then crash VP17 at 100% tracked without saving the tracking data. For very short clips or for other mask types (oval, rectangle and diamond even on the long clip) it was fine. It's never restarted my PC though.

After messing about a lot I found that I could get a successful tracked mask if I increased the keyframe slider so it was only creating a point every couple of seconds - not ideal, but it was fine for what I needed.

I wonder whether it's a memory thing? I could see my GPU being utilised for the tracking (in task manager) but it would still crash even if I disabled the GPU. In either case I didn't seem to be getting anywhere near either my GPU memory (4GB of Radeon RX570) or my system RAM (16GB of DDR4 3000MHz), but as reducing down the number of keyframes tracked seems to work and reducing the complexity of the tracker (from custom Bezier to simple shape) it makes me think there may be a memory issue, and if it's crashing your whole machine that could point in that direction too but it's pure speculation on my part!

I have put in a ticket to Magix support with my issue, so I'll update here if anything comes of that.

I've not tried the slow-mo plugin yet so I can't comment as to whether that works on my system...

Complete system shutdowns/restarts are not usually a software-only problem... if I had that happening, I'd be running some tests on my system temp/memory/hard drive to see if there's any issues going on.

whenever i do bezier or slowmo rendering in vegas pro 17 it always crash sometimes my computer will restart too!

 

Please include the extra information and some text to find it in the Error Reporting System. I would like to have a look at this

it only happens with VP17 but with VP16 it's fine tho!
