Vegas Pro 14 Crashes when Stabilizing Clip

El95Major wrote on 12/25/2017, 6:07 PM

Hi all!

I am having this problem that Vegas Pro 14 (Build 270) crashes when i try to stabilize a clip. It starts fine, but when it gets to around 30% it stops and the "Vegas Pro has stopped working" message appears.
Vegas is newly installed and up to date.
The error that i get is: Unmanaged Exception (0xc0000005)

My computer specs are:
Intel Core i5 4670k 3,4 Ghz
Nvidia GTX 1060 3GB
Corsair 8GB DDR3 3133 mhz
500GB SSD

I have no idea why, can someone help?

Thank You

I think the problem is not the computer. Try using the trimmer to create shorter, less blurry subclips and stabilize them.

I have tried, but no matter how big or small the clip is, it still crashes

As it turned out, this often depends on your video source.

I have a similar problem in Vegas 15 and tried to find a solution to this problem here.

Look at the last Cornico's screenshot. If you have the same error - so the problem is same.

I had a long correspondence with the "ProDad" and "Magix" tech support. [Ticket#2017111217002428]

In the end I got the following response:

"Thank you for your message.

This issue is now escalated to DEV and QA to be resolved in a future application update.  Thank you for reporting this issue.

Footage specs?  Is it 4k?    Usually not too hard to diagnose - try some different clips/types of media.  The internal Vegas stabilizer is now quite old and is applied as a media fx.  If it is the internal stabilizer you typically get that dll mentioned in the crash report (mecalli2 ???).  Do a forum search for this as well as tryinf Nick Hopes faq suggestions for Vegas crashes.

I have sony ax100 and film in 4K. About 5% of clips that I stabilize with the inbuilt (Sony/Magix Mercalli ver2) stabilizer fail part way through. There is no way to fix it other than use an alternative (I have Mercalli ver 4 which usually will work with the problem clip but I find that the old inbuilt version gives a lovely floating image which is better than the often image wobble with the newer versions).

Thanks for the answer, yeah it was the same as his screenshot said. Gonna write them a ticket and hope that the dev-team fixes the issue.

Yes, the footage is in 4K. But the odd thing is that sometimes it workes and most of the time it does not.

You could try transcoding to an intermediate like cineform - might help.

MY OPINION ONLY: in any case, the built-in stabilizer isn't very good, needs to be applied to entire media rather than just short event, and so you would be better off getting Mercalli v4 plugin for vegas. Alternatively, you could use free DaVinci resolve stabilizer and export an intermediate for Vegas. I don't like the Newblue stabilizer; it's also too old and quite limited.

The built-in stabilizer should only applied to a short event, for which a subclip has been created in the trimmer before. Stabilization over a whole entire media does not produce good results and also long calculation times.

I think i have solved the problem now after many hours of troubleshooting.

It looks like its something wrong with my whole project and the clips that belongs to that projectfile.
Now when i try to stabilize a video on a new project that i created it does not crash. It only crashes when i try to stabilize a clip on that older project.

Thank you everyone who tried to help me solve this problem 👍👍

Although this thread is old, I'd like to add my experience which may end up being useful to someone.

I shot a 2-minute video in 4K on my cell phone, so there was no in-camera stabilization available. When played back on the computer screen, it was not a good look. Unfortunately, I did not think of applying stabilization until AFTER I had edited the short video. When done editing, the video was made up of several short clips. The first time that I tried to stabilize, I did "Select All" on the clips, then tried to apply the Stabilization FX to all of the clips. That would fail after about 30% as yours did. I thought maybe I was causing a problem by selecting more than one clip, so I only selected one of the clips. It did not help.

What solved it for me was to go ahead and render what I had edited to give me the color corrected, finished video that I wanted. After rendering, I applied the stabilizer FX and it worked great.

 The NEXT time I need stabilization, I will apply it to the entire unedited video FIRST. I expect that to work. Once done, I can then do my splitting and color correcting on the pre-stabilized footage.

Didn't cut it for me. I rendered my clip and brought it back in. then tried to stabilize. Crash! Good idea.

It is an old thread. VEGAS Stabilization works well with HD footage, but sometimes not stable with 4k. That was one reason for the development of the new VEGAS Video Stabilization. Over time there have been many enhancements. Video Stabilzation can also be used on event level in the current build of VP17.
