What You Rarely Hear Here.

I work from two computers, so while I'm writing this, I'm looking at my other computer which has Vegas Pro rendering out a 30-minute project. I spent about 4 hours working on the video and was thinking to myself, "Gee wouldn't that be messed up if Vegas crashed on me right about now." But then it rendered fine with not one crash or freeze, and then I realized, you will never see postings here about Vegas working as it should. And maybe that's good because it would get awfully boring after a while.

It'll never happen. More than enough pebcak taking place to keep things stirred up for a very long time..

I think people who expect it to work uneventfully are the least forgiving when it messes up. At least the bar is set low after 15.

Oh, did you check the rendered file for glitches?

Such a cynic (or was it a joke?). It's good to acknowledge what a great NLE Vegas really is.

-Yes that would be aggravating, but hopefully the project was saved prior to render, so even if VP did crash, one would not lose the editing work.

A small, distant voice from 2004 says, "save, close, and reopen the app before rendering."

90% of render "crashes" will just seem to go away.

Generally, video editing is always pushing the edges of performance. I sometimes wonder what combinations of hardware and fixes some people try to gain the edge that keeps biting them. I've been using Vegas since version 3 on pretty standard equipment (usually Dell), with an aftermarket video card, lots of ram and have had few issues over fifteen years. When I did (such as poor iPhone support) I worked around it until they fixed it. I work fast on Vegas and make a few bucks. Works for me.

Saving, closing frees up the history "load" , I work in audio too and Ctl +S is acquired muscle reflex,

Yes, those are undo buffers, and they eat up a lot of memory.
