Serious Problem

I have worked on this project I'm doing for days and I am running in this problem I CANNOT fix. I have about 65 clips at the max duration of 18sec. When I drag and drop my media Sony Vegas starts acting funny and hanging. It will load the clip but when I push play then stop it will not respond for about 10 second. "ok?" Now im just trying to fade these clips in. When i go to render a section to see how looks it starts to say "no recompression". So I'm thinking "Alright?". I then go to play the the video and the faded parts are all corrupted and some green screens poping up. I cannot fix this problem. I need it to NOT do this.

How hard is it to make a program fade clips into each other properly with out this isssue?!?!

fades are easy but you give no information on what you're using. For all we know you're trying to run Vegas 12 on a rigged up XP 64-bit machine running on a P2 with 512 mb ram.

oh didnt think the PC specs were nessasary

Sony Vegas Pro 11.0 I think 32 bit because i cant make it use more than 1GB for video preview.

Win 7 Ult (64)
16GB Ram
AMD Phenom X6 3.0
ATI HD Radeon 7970

What format is your media in?

The other day I was helping a guy who had similar problems. His footage was captured via Pinnacle (I think) and made huge M4V files. Vegas choked on them but I could play them from Windows Media Player. Sounds like a CODEC problem.

AVI (h.264) It does work in windows media and VLC player perfectly fine.

Also I found a fix but i don't want to use it because it causes it to deinterlace (weave). I set it to 29.970 (NTSC) instead of 59.

Try setting your RAM preview to either nothing or next to nothing for the render. Vegas uses memory for each clip on long GOP formats like AVCHD. That is why in another thread I am talking about rendering long chunks of video with the raw footage separated by markers. 32 bit mode has a maximum of 2GB allocated to any given program and it sounds like you have half of that set to RAM preview. That and it sounds like you are working with 60p footage which will push your PC limitations pretty hard. Shrink your RAM preview buffer and try again, at least for rendering.

Ah that helped a bit. Need 64 bit version. Thats one issue down.

Also, you say it's h.264 in an AVI wrapper. That's often problematic. There have been lots of discussions about this that ought to turn up when you search the forum. Here's an example: http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?ForumID=4&MessageID=877102
