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.

You can try temporarily disabling GPU Acceleration of Processing.

Also, what is "a video"?

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.

The Sony version of VEGAS 17 😉.

@VEGASDerek … Now I'm confused re:

Are you saying that Sony is in fact currently selling VP17 under the Sony brand name?

EDIT: I think I just got it. I just did a Google search for Sony Vegas Pro 17 - lots and lots of links to cracked versions of VP17. It perhaps explains why so many new users on this forum incorrectly refer to VP17 as Sony V17. From now on, I'm not responding to any post that refers to Sony VP14 to 17 as they are likely not legally purchased versions. I have paid for VP10-17 - why can't they buy it legally rather than be ...

@Erik-Karlson
I think that is a good and diplomatic decision.
Why should we sacrifice our lifetime for thieves?

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.
