Hey guys. I just got sony vegas pro 17 and when I go to play a video it shows a red screen. I looked all over trying to find out how to fix it and all the things I've been told to try has not worked. please help.
Red screen is usually indicative of a GPU error. Try updating your graphics card drivers, if that fails, look at the minimum system specs for Vegas 17 and ensure it meets those. If it does, try rolling back to older drivers to see if any of those help. If that too fails, it's possibly a hardware malfunction.
With GPU drivers, it is preferred, if you are using Nvidia or AMD, that you use either Nvidia's "studio" drivers, or AMD's "enterprise" drivers.
Make sure you have the latest version of VEGAS Pro 17. Most red screen issues should be resolved. Maybe the Sony version of VEGAS 17 still has problems 😆. Try the version from VEGAS Creative Software instead.

I have paid for VP10-17 - why can't they buy it legally rather than be ...

Now-- that's an eye-opener. Wasting my retirement over a few knuckleheads. With entitlements no less. My new policy -- be correct or be ghosted.
