VEGAS 23 crashing over and over.

This is an issue I also have with ACID Pro 10......but I just purchased the Black Friday Suite sale: I figured my ACID 10 needed an update. I also run Movie Studio 18 on my computer which runs fine so I may as well get the Vegas Suite to update the buggy ACID 10, maybe that will fix it, and graduate to Vegas Pro 23 from Music Studio .......well, Vegas is useless - it crashes worse on my computer than ACID 10: I can use it for about two minutes before it becomes unstable and crashes. I load an MP4 perform an edit or two, maybe play back once, crash..Im disappointed and pissed off that Im out 179 bucks....after being a Magix user for years and dealing with the same "crashing" bugginess with ACID on different machines, with only Movie Studio 18 as the only program that seems to run fine on my computer, if I cant get this resolved Ill be done with any of your software in the future and i will no longer be a customer......

I'm having the exact same problem. It just keeps crashing. I thought upgrading from 22 to 23 would be better (22 likes to let me get to the render stage, then not respond). Hopefully they fix the problem soon. I'm growing weary of fighting with it.

@Anthony-Sardaukar your GPU VRAM is below the recommended. Read the required specs for running Vegas Pro, which puts far more demands on your computing hardware than MS18.

Also, heat could be an issue causing the crashing. I've been running VP23 since its initial release and while there are issues I've reported, crashing after a few minutes isn't one of them.

Also, you are ranting to users, not Magix themselves. This is a user to user forum.

@Glen-Merritt your comment does not give any meaningful information. Start a new post with the information outlined in the POST, especially "B" and "C". Right now, your user profile is blank. No information. Add your computer build, OS, etc. to your Signature like mine below.

Computer is well ventilated. Thanks for the response.

I used to get random crashes all the time, on any system, with any video card, to the point that I was considering giving up on this product all together.
It took me a long time and much troubleshooting to realise it was due to video formats, and how Vegas basically hates anything you import, especially MP4 files.
Now I follow the same process whenever I import a new video file, and I literally never get any crashes, ever.
Right-click the video in the timeline, select "Select in Project Media List", then right click on the file thumbnail/item, and select "Create Video Proxy". Let it do it's thing (you'll see progress in the bottom-left corner) and hey presto, no more crashes.
I hope it works for you.

Can't say I've had any issues with MP4 imports on my computer. MP4 is a container. It can have anything in it. Some things Vegas likes, others, it might not. It all depends on the recording/camera video.

That, and MOV files created by my Panasonic cameras are all that I use and have been using for the last 8 years and 9 versions of Vegas.

For the Radeon Graphics user see if a newer graphics driver helps.

In general I agree media is the key to a good experience in VEGAS. Constant frame rate short GOP AVC in mpr or mov containers works well in VEGAS. HEVC support has gotten good too.

VEGAS 23 has been crashing repeatedly on my system as well. I had no issues with previous versions, but this release has been problematic from the start. Based on other comments here, it seems clear there are stability issues that still need to be addressed. For now, I’ll be reverting to VEGAS 22, which has been solid for me, until an update resolves these problems.

@Ronald-Maxwell in order to address the issues that users have, information is needed. Otherwise, how will things get fixed? Computer PC specs, what was being done and what type of footage was used. How long is the project and are effects used. If so, which ones.

Without detailed info, or actually having your PC, there is no way to know what specifically is causing your issues.
