I am using Vegas PRO 17 using a lot of channels (4 camera's + 5 audio channels). The software becomes unstable and crashes after some moves (sliding) of one or more takes in one or more channels. Previously I used the SONY versions without any problem. These were stable. The MAGIX version is totally UNSTABLE! It's a shame.

Stare here: VEGAS Pro FAQs and TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDES
Also, forum search or just look at the first page and you'll see relevant posts.
Have you found your solution in the forum? @Martin-Timmerman

@Martin-Timmerman - In principle, VP should handle that. Is that 4 Camera Audio PLUS 5 separate Audio Channels?

@Martin-Timmerman - Be more precise?
Previously I used the SONY versions without any problem.
@Martin-Timmerman - What was your last SONY version? What Media/Camera were you using?
The MAGIX version is totally UNSTABLE! It's a shame.

@Martin-Timmerman - We need to see you at least comparing like-for-like. It’s unfair to compare what you’re getting now with MAGIX VP with what you had had, at even the latest incarnation, back in 2016 when MAGIX got the VP lines. Do you understand? Your rig most certainly is another variable.
So, I understand your frustration, it’s a PITA, we get that. But you’re going to need to do some heavy-lifting to get a real world comparison, for my money, you ain’t done that, yet. Hey, what’s to stop you using a SONY version just to see if it copes now as it did then? Can’t do any harm? And it may just kick out some Jams that will help us help you to move forward!
I posted on another forum that after installing V17 build 452 I was getting serious crashes - just by moving around clips on the timeline - not even anything heavy... So... I reinstalled my Intel 630 onboard iGPU driver (26.20.100.8141) & then the new AMD VEGA 64 driver (20.5.1-may27). While I was at it, I uninstalled QuickTime & reinstalled it... Just finished a 2 day paid project & smaller 1/2 day project & all is well. PC specs are in my profile...
Every Vegas updates, there will always be a small number of people are encounter problems. There will never be a zero reports problem with new update. If you look at the number of Vegas users worldwide, probably in the thousands are happily with new update. VP452 is as stable as VP421, it is for me. Knock on wood.
Hi BruceUSA, same to me as well, both in my old i950 and in my ASUS ROG Gaming laptop. No trouble in every updates.
But, @TheRhino's comment above (also here for more complete reply - thanks for sharing) is interesting, a 'competition' between Win10 updates and Vegas Updates may cause some trouble.
Yes, it was only recently that I let Windows update to 1909 & it felt it needed to update my Intel iGPU driver while it was at it (and possibly others...) However, since I reinstalled both GPU drivers & QuickTime, all appears good... I just tested-out some of my crazier & more complex projects that have caused past versions of Vegas to crash & after 30 minutes of playing around & even dragging the entire Vegas window back & forth between 3 monitors, I couldn't get VP452 to crash. No loss of render speeds, etc. either... I also reminded Windows 10 to not update for 365 days, over a metered connection, etc. and made a backup image of my OS & apps drive... Should be good to go for a while...
And yes, knock on wood... I've got a HUGE project due in about 10 days that I am just starting... I'll let ya'll know how that goes...

Was the loss of speed significant? I had a file 2 days ago that I could only render at 1.5fps 1080p using any method, even NVENC. speed slowly dropped until under 1fps. I tried resetting vegas, resetting computer. nothing could fix problem, and I believe if I go back to that project it will still only render at 1fps . I've never seen anything like it.
I too have been having constant crashing and memory constantly being increased each time I play back my 2 minute project with the 452 update. And many crashes after 10 minutes of editing. Nothing really complex.
Using Win 10 Pro, Version 1909, Build 18363.836
Computer: Ryzen 9 3900X, 32GB RAM, RX480 8GB
I was contacted by Tech Support, so zipped up an archive to send, all 5GB worth and some other information.
After updating VP to 452 was when the problems started. After much hair pulling and going through the forum posts again, I remembered that I had turned Enable So4 Compound Reader for AVC/M2TS to FALSE in the previous build.
Going back and checking Internal after the update, it was reset to TRUE on my computer. Setting it back to FALSE and no stressing with constant crashes.
