Sony Vegas Pro 18 keeps crashing with light use. I will only have my video up and try to watch/rewatch sections and it will freeze and crash. Sometimes it will be a minute or 15 minutes for it to crash and I have made attempts to do some editing and even cut my video in half (each half in its own file) and I still have issues. I have followed this PAGE for guidance. I couldn't however figure out how to disable one core and where the one SO4 option was. I was able to get to the internal page and search it up but I didn't have the option suggested in the main forum. I couldn't find the link to the main official page I'm referring to for troubleshooting I found before for some reason. I think it was this one.
- Exact symptoms of your problem
- Sony Vegas Freezes and crashes no matter if I'm doing something light or intensive.
- Status of GPU acceleration of video processing
- Currently its enabled but I tried it off as well with no luck.
- Status of Enable Hardware Decoding for supported formats
- Nothing checked. (Enable legacy AVC/HEVC/MKV reader are all not enabled)
- Project Properties
- Render Settings
- I haven't tried this yet but I'm worried it maybe an issues but hey never know
Specs in Signature
- VEGAS Pro 18.0 Build 284
- Windows 10 Pro Version 1903
Some of my thoughts/more things to consider:
- In OBS the video is recorded in double wide (3840x1080).
- My webcam (sony alpha a6000 recording 1920x1080 60fps) on the left and right next to it the gameplay recorded in the same format.
- Going into Vegas
- When taking the video into vegas I go file>properties and set custom video at 1920x1080 for each section.
- I duplicate the track then crop the webcam and the other video track is the gameplay footage. I havent been able to figure out if Sony Vegas actually crops the whole video or not. I set the area I want with the Pan/Crop tool and I can still see the other half of the video? I even tried to do the fx cookiecutter and crop function and same results. I'm thinking this chews up Vegas having two of the same video tracks playing. Is there a way to completely cut out the other part of the video?
I've been tossing around if I actually wanted to submit this or if it was dumb of me to ask. Like what if I missed a site that would actually help or if I didnt follow steps I should have.
Anyway, I want to thank you for taking the time to read this. This is my first post so if I missed anything please let me know. I know they wanted a list of drivers so if I missed one that's important please let me know and I'll try to give an update. I've looked into this issue and tried the sites listed up top and a few others that were similar and it hasn't worked.
Thank you again!
As always,
This is where the fun begins (related pic below)
