Hello Vegas Community,
I have always used Vegas since it was easy for me to jump into and edit vice learning other software, but I hear everything has its quirks with stability.
In short, basically I always had issues with VP17 when gpu acceleration is on. Rendering would sometimes freeze in the middle and navigating/clicking around on the timeline, all of a sudden one of my clicks would have a random crash after ~3 minutes or so. Sometimes just pressing the spacebar to pause/play, it'll freeze up and crash.
When I turned off GPU Accel in VP17 it seems like all my problems were solved, I could do things for 30+ mins and not get a crash.
Enter VP18 and I left all settings at default - GPU Accel on, etc. My first render the progress froze after a few seconds - not a good sign (Magix AVC Codec always with NVENC). Reloaded vegas and retried and then it worked. Unfortunately, the random crashing was back too. Did the trick and turned gpu accel off, no more rendering issues, random crashes are slightly better but I still get them, no dice. I'm still not safe from the crashes!
Instead of what doesn't work, I wanted to inquire the community what settings do you use? Do you have a setup of settings that work for you? GPU Accel on and all? Any users that can report on what settings they have and don't have random crashes, I'd be interested.
Please note that I have went through rebuilding/upgrading my system from the ground up and reformatting windows and I still have always found issues with Vegas.
