Where are the restored crashed projects???

Hi there,

My Vegas 15 is already upholding the great tradition of all previous Vegas versions of constantly crashing and freezing on me ...

So I started this new project with only 3 layers of 1080p footage and it stopped responding on playback. Upon re-opening the question came if i wanted to open the restored project, which worked but before I was able to do a save it stopped responding AGAIN. So I have 2 questions:

1. Is this restored project definately gone if it crashes a second time? When I re-open vegas 15, there is no saved project anymore now... and I also can't find it in C:\Users\The dude\AppData\Local\VEGAS Pro\15.0

2. I remember fixing a similar problem in 14 be changing the Dynamic RAM preview size to 4096 (I have 32Gb of main memory) but if this 200 default setting causes so much trouble, why on earth do they set it so low by default?

Every system is different but for most user, the default works. My system for example doesn’t like anything other than the 200 default setting. It won’t freeze, but it will slow down.

Unfortunately nobody know what that setting does exactly, I think even MAGIX doesn’t know.

That would be really sad ... :D

Do you know where I could find my crashed project after it crashes again? I have purchased Vegas 15 2 days ago but already regret it...All these silly mistakes they make, like making the cursor in the text editor the same color as the background, ridiculous...

"The" ?????
Vegas Pro 15 has at least 3 title editors, so take a good look and you 'll see that the other two don't have your so called ridiculus color.

If your settings were default, also the automatic autosave, that location is listed in your temp. files folder

Thanks! Found it there, I changed the location of the temp folder recently (tried to fix another problem, all MP4 rendered file names having a .tmp extention, but that didn't help) so thats why this autosave file was not in the default location.

I know there are more text editors but my project was created in Vegas 14 using this particular text feature, and in vegas 15 they changed the colors in a very clumsy way, I can't see where the cursor is, so I'd have to re-do all the subtitles of the entire project with a different title editor or just guess where my cursor is all the time... :(
