Avoid provoking other members and keep your comments factual (I've already pointed out how much you exaggerate your claims against VEGAS and how you deny reality about competing NLEs also having stability issues, yet you continue to spew falsehoods about both) and objective.Angry posts written to blow of steam will be deleted (Can't tell you how many of these I've ignored and left up for you). Members of the community who write such posts will be warned (you now have been). Repeat violations will result in removal from the community.  

I never denied stability problems existed, I said they exist in all such apps, especially new versions of them, then you started trying to move the goalposts to the issues I pointed out not being "stability" related (even though they were about the program crashing or refusing to load or save projects, all of which are stability related).

All the while, you've hijacked this poor soul's thread to bash VEGAS from your soap box. This won't continue, you've been warned.

Honestly Fr0sty, you should take these problems seriously. There's obviously something very wrong with VP18, and the fact that you seem to be threatening to ban those who are calling it out, just makes VEGAS look even worse. This isn't "Toxic" as JpElectron claims, but it is a reflection of people who spent a lot of money, trying to get work done and can't. Nobody wants to disable half a program's features just to make it run, nobody wants to stay up until 2am on a project that should have been simple because they keep freezing, crashing, and having to try various workarounds to make a supposed professional piece of software do it's job.

Vegas has the best UI and workflow by far of any editor I've tried, which is why I keep sticking with it. But since I started using it over 10 years ago, VP18 is the worst experience I've ever had with the software. I've never been here in the forums, because I've never had issues until now.

Magix needs to get to work right away on a patch for stability problems as well as make some kind of public statement regarding the issues.

I do take the problems seriously, the ones that haven't already been resolved. What I do not take seriously is a user spending months kicking at the same dead horse and exaggerating the problems that do exist into something far larger than they are because they happen to be one of the few people affected by a bug that is anything but widespread, which is why the above user was warned (and subsequently banned when they ignored the warning) about violating the community standards.

Your experience is far different than mine (and obviously most of the regulars around here), I'm enjoying far more stability and better performance out of 18 than I ever got out of 17 or any other version, and even when it tries to crash it usually recovers. That's editing footage from professional gear, not cell phones and DSLRs. That isn't to say that nobody is having these issues. That isn't to say there doesn't need to be a patch put out to fix the bugs that are there. That doesn't mean anyone is denying anything.

VEGAS Creative Software has been hard at work on one of the many updates that will be coming to VEGAS 18 over the course of its life, some of which are adding some really cool features that didn't make the initial release, and all of which are going to address as many bugs as possible along the way.

Be sure Fr0sty takes such issues seriously and blocking an account is a decision not only made by that single point you made. But it's all said about that.

Vegas Creative Software makes all efforts to get such high priority issues solved as quick and as proper as possible, see Derek's response.
