Problems with V12

I have upgraded on most versions since 5 and have never really had a problem. This upgrade is causing issues. I am finding that the video preview frequently goes out (loses video replaced with static) and I am having some serious problems rendering. Project was shot in HD 1080/60p one stream 1080/60i in the other stream. Works fine in 11 but almost a no go in 12. rendering with same settings as in version 11 but not working in 12. A standard setting of HD 720 in quicktime except with uncompressed audio. I use this for you tube upload file.

I like some of the features in 12 but if it will not render I have switched too soon. I have seen problems mentioned with the video preview but not with rendering I will try the uninstall reinstall and hope that works. Anyone else with similar problems.

Luckily I was able to copy and paste the tracks from 12 to 11 with only a few tweaks to restore all of them.

I have had problems with V12 not holding my preference. I do NOT like the dark default Vegas background and turned it off. Plus, I setup my own window layout. None of it was saved the next time I re-started the PC and came back. Cosmetic, but irritating.

You can manually save your window layouts.

When I tried resetting the Vegas color scheme, Vegas not just crashed but uninstalled itself..LOL!!! I had to do a complete reinstall and to my amazement all my settings were unchanged as if nothing had happened.

I did save the layout as "Normal" for the first position. It did not save the setting. BTW, I tried to render a 1920 x 1080, 60pi file (identical to the source format) using the Sony codec for Blue Ray. When I clicked render, it produced a blue screen of death with a memory dump and re-booted my entire computer! Worked before--same file. Ok... first serious bug. I'll try a different format and try to isolate it. I'm sure they'll come out with a fix soon. :-)

I too had a Blue Screen of Death in VP12 the other day whilst trying to render some progressive footage.

Thought it might have been a PC/Win7 fault so ignored it and rebooted.

Perhaps is was a Vegas problem after all!

Blue death is usually a driver or hardware problem.

My issues also developed when rendering progressive video. Worked once with the trial version but would not process different file from same camera which had been edited. This was not a problem ever with V11 but is consistent with V12. Just basically unusable in my mind. Unfortunately there is a lot of work coming in the next three weeks and I do not have time to fool around with it or call customer service and will have to use V11. (I shoot high school marching bands and it is busy season for the next two weeks)
