For some background, I have VEGAS Pro 18.0 on 2 devices: one is a laptop with Windows 10, the other is a computer with an older Windows, don't know the exact number. I decided to start editing on my laptop because it renders MUCH faster. However, whenever I drag video into it and attempt editing, the screen will freeze after a few moments. The only way to get out is to restart my computer. I've made hour long videos with only audio and pictures and it went smoothly, for some reason it just doesn't like videos. The older computer doesn't do this. Does anyone else have a similar problem, and is there a way to fix it?
Another thing to keep in mind is that I haven't updated Vegas on either computer. The update gives me two options: update when the software is closed, or update immediately. No matter which I choose, it says it can't update with Vegas open and cancels. Don't know whether that correlates with the laptop's problem though, since the main computer is fine despite this.
