My video files get corrupted after putting to many edits? Vegas Pro 13

Socksfor1 wrote on 3/2/2018, 10:15 AM

Hello,

The content I make for my youtube channel is very editing heavy. When I reach usually around over 300 edits in the program. Most of the files begin the corrupt, usually the recorded gameplay. I have to copy and paste it in a new project and render what I have so I can continue with the render version. I don't understand why it does this and it is something I should not have to worry about?

Here are the specs of the stuff I am doing.

Recording into MOV files(the gameplay)

My edits are also recorded and come in MOV files.

MOV(H264)

To be exact.

It doesn't matter really how long the project it is usally after a reach a lot of edits. The corruption is not really it looks corrupted, the file like disappear from the video. It is there, it says it is there, but nothing is shown.

Please help.

Thanks.

Did you try to use "nested" vegs.
With that you can make smaller projects that can be joined as vegs on only one video- and audiotrack on the timeline in a mainproject. Each seperate veg can be edited in its own projectfile and the changes are being copied to the mainproject automatic.


Nested vegas? I never tried that. Should I look on youtube how to do that?

Oh wow! That could make things a lot easier! So Sony vegas does not like a lot of files.

Search this forum for Quicktime. There are problems when the number of files reach a certain quantity because Quicktime was/is a 32bit application.

No youtube for me as it is all in TFM or help files.

 


Is there anyway to do this without have the files together? Like still seperate so I can edit them.

Don't record to MOV format. Use mp4 instead.

I suggest you use OBS Studio with these settings for your future recordings.

For your previous recordings, you can try and losslessly re-wrap them to MP4 using this method, so they play nicer in Vegas.
