Red frames cropping up

I just had my first project where I have run in to some old troubles in past versions of Vegas, but now 9c 64-bit. I imported a handfuls of JPEG's into the time line (10MP images) and I see the dreaded solid red frames. However, instead of crashing Vegas which I play it back over the time line or render it, I get a black segment where the image is. Odd this is, about 1/2 of the images were fine. I resized them all down to about 4 Megapixel size but that didn't change those specific images "red frame" problem. I tried tweaking the Dynamic RAM settings (lowering and raising to no effect).

Now the really odd thing. If I open the project in 9c 32 bit, it is totally fine on the time line and renders fine.

Another puzzler... any ideas? I did reinstall 9c 64 bit again but that didn't change the issue.

This is a known problem that Sony is aware of and has been discusses here often.
I've gone back to 9.0b 64 as the problem is just with 9.0c but then 9.0b doesn't work as well with AVCHD --- not cool.
Hoping for 9.0d very soon!!

I can only offer a partial suggestion because I use Vegas Movie Studio 9b and not Pro, and I only encountered red frames once, but this might be a place to start:

I was making a "Ken Burns" type video using stills & video clips. One of my stills was a panorama comprised of 12 separate images. The resulting JPG file was 42,000 pixels wide.

When I put this on the Vegas timeline I got a red frame and Vegas would not render it (it rendered black frames for the duration I had specified.) So I broke the single image up into 4 separate ones and this worked OK.

So I'd suggest you try down-rezzing the red frame images you have. This is just a guess of course, but you images should be able to tolerate a reasonable down-rez without losing significant quality. Remember that even HD video has far fewer pixels/frame than a 10MP JPG contains.
