Thought i had stopped crashing, but...

I bought a book in order to learn more about colour correction / grading. Its one of the best books i have found so far with lots of practical examples on DVD.
The DVD samples are MOVs using ProRes 4:2:2. 1920x1080 60i, Nice, and they load straight into Vegas without any conversion whatsoever. Good result so far.

So, after un-installing the NewBlue titler plugin (did that a few weeks back) which was causing me problems, i 'had' thought my crash days were over... wrong.
I got into exercise 3 of about 130, loaded the sample file in, crash...
Tried again, this time it worked, then sample 4 during a basic contrast adjustment - crash... Then tried again, this time a crash in a different place.. and so on. Gave up :(

Dont know if this is ProRes (quicktime) related or not, but it seems to crash fairly consistently. At one point, i was actually doing nothing!! just reading the book, and looking at the image on the preview monitor.. Crash... All by itself.. Never seen that before.

really, i dont know what to say.
V11, 595, win7 64 bit.

Paul.

Yep, I've had the same thing happen to me....twice! I thought I found "the answer" and Vegas stopped crashing for awhile (or crashed a lot less) then when doing something as simple as using the legacy text generator (changing color of the text) caused Vegas to crash, I knew this thing was worse than I thought.

I think it's safe to say that we're dealing with more than one problem here. Either more than one bad line of code or more than one driver compatibility issue, it's just something we all can't get around.

But my spider sense is tingling and I feel a new patch is very close at hand. Keeping my fingers crossed and sending a silent prayer to St. Geekus, patron saint of software code.

Since build 595 and the latest NewBlueFX Titler Pro came out, I only experience occasional crashes after I exit Vegas. I can live with that.
