Hello everyone, first off I would like to say Im a big fan of sony vegas, I love the program and for the money ( Vegas Pro 9 ) It does more then its worth.

My issue is vegas crashing at 35% constantly. With or without effects/ transitions.

Vague, I know, but if someone can throw me some ideas I would really appreciate it. I have sent error reports constantly to vegas with no results or help. Im not one to give up, but im very frustrated.

Thanks Friends

Usually if it crashes at the same point everytime, it is file related. You need to try to figure out what video it is crashing on and determine if it is corrupt in some way.

Crashing at 35% of what? Rendering? One project or do all projects crash at 35%?

Yes, it crashes while rendering at 35%. I even started from scratch with a new project and still at 35%. Thank you both for responding

do you mean a 'clean' new project, ie. with different files, or the same files (in the same order) in a new project.

if the latter, then it's most likely, as has been pointed out, bad media.

however, if it's with ALL projects, then i would think it might be ram problem perhaps - i'm no expert in that area unfortunately.

btw. it would be of help, as has been pointed out, that system specs might help.

First thing I'd check from the very vague description is CPU temperature. Nothing much apart from synthetic tests runs the CPU at full load for as long as rendering.
Next thing would be RAM and then power supply, they too have been known to get too hot and bothered to keep delivering clean power where needed.
Overclockers fora are a good place to look for testing software that'll let you check that your PC is 100% up to the task. It could as said be something to do with the media, it could be something to do with a bug in Vegas but check out the hardware first.
