This problem started randomly 2 weeks ago. I've been working for some time on this gameplay footage and all of a sudden when I cut, I see these weird numbers and letters in each side of the cut sections (in the fade area), but it gets worse... the Master Audio slider on the right of the preview window turns blue or black and when I try to right-click a clip, the options I'm presented with are visible briefly, but it all turns into some white window.
After a couple more clicks, everything becomes corrupted, I'm seeing writing and icons out of place, I try to access the software's options on the top left, to see if I can reopen the project or save, or even access my preferences but when I click nothing moves. I get constant error reports appearing on screen forcing me to close the program and when I try to press X, the "Don't you wanna save first?" box appears but it's completely blank.I wasted a month's work in this project and when I started it all again from scratch, the SAME issue happened at a different part of the timeline. I open other projects, everything is fine when I edit on them but this particular one is CURSED.
This is the first time I have encountered such a nasty glitch, it's debilitating really. I had some issues with Vegas Pro in the past knowing how unrefined some of its features can be and other things [such as not understanding how my preview window lags during transitions knowing that I have a:
-RTX3080 Graphics Card (with my all my drivers up to date)
-32Gb Of Ram (12 being allocated to Vegas when editing)
-Intel i9 CPU]
But this MATRIX portal that's been opening up in my project and tearing everything apart has really made me regret spending 500 bucks on this.
So, since I haven't seen anything on the internet even remotely close to this problem I'm having, if someone could figure out what the hell this artificial demon is before I reinstall this shjt completely, I'd be SUPER thankful!
