Preview Monitor Causes Crash in Vegas 18 upwards

Richard-Seel wrote on 9/15/2025, 4:09 AM

I currently use Vegas 17 with two monitors, one of which I use as a preview monitor. It works perfectly well. I also have Vegas 18, 19, 21 and 22 - all of which crash if I try to use my preview monitor. Will Vegas 23 be the same, or it will it finally work for me?

Did you try official support? It really shouldn't crash. I used 2 external monitors with a 2080 Super in VP 22.
