VP23 is an embarrassment

I've been using Vegas for a lot of years. I never recall having any problems when the product belonged to Sony. But over the years, Magix Vegas seemed to get a little better. However, VP23 is the complete opposite.

I can edit a video for 5 hours without a hiccup. Then suddenly, it will just freeze up, and I will keep having problems. Rendering? Either I can or I can't. I can try to render my project 3 times, Vegas will crash at different portions of the render process. I can try again, and BOOM, it will fully render. I can't imagine anyone using this software in a professional broadcasting capacity would be happy with it.

I know it's new, but I can't imagine, if anyone tested this, that it passed without any issues. This software was not ready for release and should have been held back until it was ready. What good is a faster rendering engine if you can't actually render?

Sorry if I'm stepping on any toes here, but I have just had enough with 23.

Yes Vp 23 is a mega mess!

If artificial intelligence interferes with development, there will be many more bugs. Vegas 22 and 23 are dead software for me. The bug with mxf has not been fixed yet. The developer told me that he doesn't have time to fix it.

Do you understand???

They will introduce new bugs into Vp21 b300 and if you don't like it, they will either keep quiet or write that it is not a priority for them. And I'm not talking about new features that mostly work partially without further development.

My time of eternal beta testing is over. I'm fed up with this approach.
