VP22- during timeline playback, program freezes/crashes

sean-nelson wrote on 12/4/2024, 7:03 PM

I have footage from my Canon r5mk2 in mp4. i have a project open with footage. nothing has been done except cutting clips (no fx). It freezes on playback (random clips) and have to end the non responsive program. When i open up Vegas 22 again, i notice what happens is the preview window shows calculating next frame with the moving dots and stays on a black screen, eventually the program crashes. I have restart my PC for the program to work again.

Update: Disabling GPU in settings didn't solve any problems.

PC Specs
Window 11 64bit
Vegas 22- build 194
Ryzen 9 5900x 12 Core
96 DDR4 RAM

AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX

Could you share MediaInfo for the footage? https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/faq-how-to-post-mediainfo-and-vegas-pro-file-properties--104561/

What if you re-enable GPU in preferences/video but check "enable legacy AVC" or "experimental HEVC" decoding in preferences/ file io? Choose the box depending on what MediaInfo says your footage is.

Upon seeing your MediaInfo for your source footage as linked directly above, we will undoubtably suggest building a "Video Proxy." None of the Canon footage since the Mark IV, including your R5, is optimized for nonlinear editing, and you will find hundreds of references to information about building Proxies in your Vegas 22 Help Menu, by doing a Forum Search, as well as many online resources.

@mark-y Not optimized for non-linear editing (poor performance) and crashing the program are two entirely different things. If you create proxy files to complete the edit but VEGAS has an issue with decoding the source material then the render itself may crash as proxies aren't used then.

@RogerS A very good point. Proxies, whilst useful, have their limitations.

I'd be interested in having a sample of the footage to test on my all AMD computer.

@sean-nelson Do you have a sample (feel free to just shoot a few seconds out the window, etc.) you could share for testing via Dropbox, Google Drive, etc? That could help us figure out what's going on.
