I hear ya, just trying to find out if there was any new blaring issues that would make me crazy.

This question is very media and system specific.

I am noticing greater stability over 17 and a bit better GPU performance. The problems I see on this forum with VP 18 are often with HEVC, GoPro or DJI footage, so if you use a lot of those file types you may have trouble until it's fixed.

Overall I think it's going in a good direction- I am no longer using any workarounds to enhance stability.

well that is good news, I use exclusively avc, no DJI or go pros. All matching Canon Cameras

I'm on matching Sony AVCs and have yet to crash it (I need to do more editing though to say more). I'd give it a try.

I got a video to shoot tomorrow, gonna see what happens

In my experience, even when 18 freezes, it is able to recover from it. Since the release build, I haven't had a single crash.

Yes, their is quite a noticeable improvement in stability in version 18 over Version 17 !

I was able to repro my crashing issue within 30 seconds of starting V18 trial.

Well okay! I had 17 down to almost no crashing thanks

I had some funny behaviour at the beginning. I use Sony XAVC 4K (AX100 & AX700). I am making a short video (39 clips) of a National Trust visit. All clips on time line, I added the legacy stabilisation media FX which completed its conversion OK, I then clicked play from start and V18 froze with white screen. Only option was restart V18, it did this a few times than seemed to work fine.

Be patience with 18, it can recover but sometimes takes a few or more seconds.

Just the improve in this and the GPU utilization make 18 a winner for me.

yeah just installed it, 14 was like that for me. it would recover after about 5 minutes. I am looking forward to editing this afternoon, got to go shoot the video now..

you all using high DPI and does it effect stability?

well had my first crash, nothing to do with deleting.. everything pretty much set to default, any major tweaks I need to do?? It does not look like it will recover, I do like the playback in preview it seems smoother. I am running in high DPI mode, and that seemed like it cause problems with 17 so I will ditch that and move on.. thanks for all your help.. I am not upset I figured it would be a little buggy.

I have Vegas Pro 16/17, and the trial version of Vegas Pro 18. When I first tried V18 my impression was that while it had some very good new features it seemed to render more slowly than V16/17.

I have now conducted a trial on all three and have found that my suspicions were correct, Vegas Pro 18 rendering times are consistently slower than the others by quite a big margin.

When I conducted these tests I made sure that all parameters were exactly the same.

Is there a logical reason for this apparent slowness in the latest version, that looks so promising?

interesting. I have about 3 more hours of editing time will let you know if the render timer are slower. MY settings are identical

In my system, V18 render a little faster than V17!

my did about 10% faster last night although it crashed on my once when I was making a .jpg thumbnail for my video and another during video editing (in High DPI mode which I turned off). I have noticed a little weird behavior doing text. So far I will stay with it unless I start having crash issues, I can always drop back to 17 till the next update, but so. Thanks man

well after making a couple videos it seems to render a little faster, not much else I can see improved, the deleting text instability is still there. It seems a little more buggy than 17, when making new text boxes it copy's the last one you made and you have to manually reset it to default. I am on the fence on throwing to the side till the next update comes out, not going down the tech support time sink hole. I am just gonna keep pumping out videos. that's my take. I send off the crash reports to the "never gonna look at folder" in Germany..oh well.. back the the videos!

@joseph-desaavedra  Every version behaves differently on different systems, however until now, I did not find that V18 is less stable than V17!

not really less stable, it crashes the same way 17 does, but a little more buggy with the text editing and deleting crashes. Like I say the jury is still out. I already paid for it, that has never been the issue. But if it annoys me too much and slows me down it goes to the side till the next update or so. Rendering is definitely faster, but that is an extra minute on a render does not really matter, I loose that much on a crash. the color correction seems better too, did not mention that.

@joseph-desaavedra Well, it bothers me too that Vegas Pro is not getting any better when it comes to stability! The development team must focus only on improving stability and performance, not on introducing new features! And I don't think that Vegas Pro will ever be competitive in term of stability, not until the team rewrite it from scratch with the best modern programming tools. When the core is rock solid stable, then they can introduce new features with every new version because stability is far more important than any new feature.
