Hello, Iam an avid vegas pro user. The problem that Im currently experiencing is when I try to either auto save or save in general, I get the message "The file cannont be created while saving." Im working on a very important project and I really need help as soon as possible PLEASE! Thanks!
try saving to different disc?
Thanks for responding. It doesn't even give me the option of where to save. As soon as I click save it simply sends the message. I've googled many options. Changing settings in control panel, stating my task manager and ending in hopes of an auto save, ect... Nothing seems to work.
This is an odd fix and runs some risk, but if nothing else works...
Where have you setup your Vegas Temporary Directory?
Where do I find that setting sir? Thank you!
Options > Preferences >
Temporary directory is set here > C:\Users\lyricoctober\AppData\Local\Sony\Vegas Pro\13.0\ should it be somewhere else? You guys are actually very helpful! I cant thank you enough. Even though I havent found the soulution to the problem, just gettting you guys' help is awesome!
Try to Save as... and choose the directory
Hey thanks! But, Still the same problem. It saved properly after the first time of doing it. I changed my directory to my documents but, after my next set of changes on the project and trying to save, the same messaged appeared. I have been an avid Vegas pro user since Vegas Pro 8 and have experienced numerous problems that were fixable through research but, this is a new problem that Ive never had. Im lost here guys! Ive tried everything you guys have suggested so far.
maybe something wrong with your rights?
Still trying everything you guys post. NOTHING! I have no clue what this could be!
Have you tried running Vegas as administrator?
Donald T, At your request I did sir. Still no good.
Any Anti Virus Software running?
What (every detail) was done to the computer before this happened?
JJK
By any chance have you installed any plugins? Audio? Video?
Old Smoke, No Sir. JJKizak Nothing out of the norm. I was editing fine the day before. Went to re open the project I was working on. It opened fine and as I made my first change to the project, the message started to appear. Silverglove. No new plug ins. I have Red Giant but I've had it for years and havent touched it. Not so much as even an upgrade since I first installed it years ago.
Maybe a windows update installed?
Have you tried to run Vegas in factory settings?
ctrl+shift and than start vegas
do you have enough space on your harddrive? check your available Hard disk space. Is this only on existing project or with the new project too? try to open another instance of vegas, insert clip for testing and save.
You could try and run a chkdsk/f to make sure the drive is ok.
Have you to make a copy of the .veg file with a different name, then open in Vegas and see if you can save it?
what version of your vegas? another you might try: at the task manager, End task the FileIOSurrogate.exe and re-run vegas.
