VEGAS Pro 20 feedback
It has always been 'the system' that couldn't cope... Last month, after 15 years with Vegas, I bought DaVinci studio, quite a learning curve, and the same system that struggled with Vegas now works quick and flawless. Rendering 4K in HDR takes less time than the duration of the video.

Vegas Became completely unusable
2. Let's study 1000 page manuals , how to make a simple Transition in adobe and resolve.What were you doing around the time Sony Vegas was officially shut down? Let's be happy that we can still discuss his future Been working with Vegas since version 8. So I have it in my fingers. Due to the current instability of Vegas I am looking at DaVinci Resolve. Making a simple transition is simple, not as simple like in Vegas but not rocket science either. Of course learning a giant piece of software requires time and effort, but I would like to edit without the constant stress of crashes and then finding out what part of the work was auto-saved. I keep following events on this forum.

Glueing events
Thank you all for your input. I just clicked on the buttons of the locked events on the timeline, none worked. I didn't search for work-arounds, why are the buttons disabled if the effects and pan/crop are allowed anyway by right-clicking ? Puzzling and sloppy.

Glueing events
@Jack S Blocking something is easier than allowing to add some VideoFX, because it requires an extra parameter in all VideoFX-objects to indicate if it does or doesn't change the length of the event. Still I think this must be easy to implement. Position lock in Da Vinci...

Bezier masking with motion tracking
@Gid Dear oh dear, difficult to work like that ! The points I mentioned on the Bézier control in "curve" mode have 2 extra points on the side, to curve the line, problem is they are in the same colour as the centre point (yellow), and are virtually impossible to grab with the mouse, so they are pretty useless.

Bezier masking with motion tracking
It would be useful to be able to zoom in on a selected part of the preview window. I am using a 65 inch tv to preview, and even then it is hard to mark some fine objects perfectly, in "curve" mode the tiny yellow handles on each point are difficult to grab. If you watch closely you see that the text is in front of the flagpole on the right of the tower. Not that anyone will notice when they only see it once... An example with 3 Bézier areas. By now you must know I live in Bruges 😉

Bezier masking with motion tracking
A bit clumsy that the normal Bézier area has no free form like in Premiere, now you have to hope the object you want to eliminate is rather square. Also strange that the Bézier area of the motion tracking function is more flexible, it doesn't need 90° corners, otherwise with the camera on a tripod there would be no need for motion tracking a building... Anyway thanks again, even with your help it was quite complicated : didn't see anything until I disabled HDR.

VEGAS Pro 19 Update 5 (Build 643)
@Max-Hind Yes, it happens for me also. May I suggest an easy and quick workaround, Ctrl+A? That is not quite the same, as there could be media in the project that was loaded before.

@Roger Bansemer : Thank you for the cheat sheet :-) Tried it already : In HDR : you must turn off HDR in the preview window to be able to see the motion tracking area.

VEGAS Pro 19 Update 5 (Build 643)
Nice to have colorgrading on different levels ! On event-level, it would be handy to affect all selected events, instead of just one. When working with a multicamera track, often the same adjustments are needed for every take from a specific camera. I noticed that when you select more than 1 event the colorgrading panel is disabled.

Build 636 - Rendering now working
@RogerS No idea, because it was the first time I mixed HD and UHD in one project. The UHD was in fact "produced" by Vegas, because the original also had HDR and VLog, which I removed by rendering all that material to UHD without HDR and to rec. 709 from rec. 2020. As I started the project in build 636 I couldn't go back, because there was a warning during the upgrade that it would not open in an older build.

VEGAS Pro 19 Update 5 (Build 643)
@Howard-Vigorita I followed your hint and put my PC specs in my profile. The specs are not the problem I think, because rendering goes very fast (all output to SSD), the project I work on is at 50 fps and the average rendering speed is about 100 fps. I have upgraded everything that can be upgraded, Windows, display driver, Vegas AI driver. I finished the editing by now, but just can't render. Cameras were 4 x Panasonic S5, 2 x Panasonic FZ1000. As the FZ1000 has no MOV output, I have recorded all to MP4, except 2 S5 that were recording UHD to MOV. Strange thing is that I managed to render 15 out of the 17 dances. Talking about 'glueing' events. I wonder if there is a possibility to lock an event's location and duration, but still be able to change the crop and pan, brightness, colorgrading... everything that does not change it's synchronisation to the rest of the tracks. Even the events on the multicamera track would be a lot safer it you could lock them into place and still be able to change the look of the generated events.

VEGAS Pro 19 Update 5 (Build 643)
Do you have a test-video sample so others could crash-test it too? It is a project with a lot of resources, 7 camera's running for more than an hour makes for a lot of Gbytes (wouldn't know how to make a test-sample). They were all synchronised with the seprate soundtrack and then put on a multicamera track. The 2 UHD tracks were cropped to HD to let the HD image follow the dancers with the Vegas event-pan, works very well. All video proved to contain too much red and too little blue, this was corrected with colorgrading the whole track. Many events (every multicamera change creates a separate event) were corrected for brightness. After the colourgrading the real problems began, although I had already crashed many times, before the grading it was always possible to render without a hitch. The dance-performance is rendered number by number, so not the whole hour in one piece, each number takes about 3 or 4 minutes and is a seperate mp4 file. For no obvious reason sometimes a number renders, but if you repeat that sometimes it will crash. The final 2 numbers simply do not render with colourgrading on. I have been using Vegas from version 8, even writing an extension for it, so I guess I'm quite able to produce a video. Build 636 is just an update that needs an urgent update.

A sequence that would crash always when rendering, does render when I disable the colorgrading that had put on the whole track (to correct too much red). Enabling colorgrading again made it crash again during rendering.

Vegas Pro Build 636 Crashing on Render - Nvidia 1070 Graphic Card
Same here. Countless crashes while rendering. Sometimes I am able to render two short pieces, and on the third crashing again, but there is no pattern. Seems like the AVC compression renders more often than the HEVC compression of mp4, no pattern there neither. And not only while rendering... If I look a minute to a preview playing, the system crashes, the sound often keeps playing and the video stops. You can then only close the program, hope you have a backup and start Vegas again. The server where all those error-messages are landing must be overflowing. I have worked on a project for more than a week (still not ready), when it should have been 3 days. Note to my self: don't blindly upgrade when you are working on a project. Nvidia Geforce RTX 2070 super, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor at 4.20 GHz, 32 GByte ram. Windows 11 pro, latest build.

VEGAS Pro 19 Update 5 (Build 643)
By now I am desperate. Have a project that must be finished before wednesday 8th of June. Rendering seems often to go wrong when Vegas writes the file from the tmp-file to the mp4-file (but not only then). Yesterday rendering worked without problems. The only change I made was some colorgrading, can't remove the colorgrading because essential. I tried different disks, normally all SSD, and a normal hard drive, sometimes it works, and I think that I am saved, just to see that the next sequence crashes again. When I try to overwrite a file that has 0 bytes (because of the last crash) it will always crash again, so I have to (permanently) delete the file first. More crashes with HEVC than with AVC, still I can't render all my work. I started this project with build 636 so I can't go back.

@BruggelingNo problem with my VPRO 19 b 636.6 tracks with all UDH files out of my DJI pocket and in an UDH project on my laptop from signature, look That is a 3 minute project. Mine is more than an hour. Had no problems in the first few minutes. Further into the video it crashes very often. Well if you follow this thread you will notice that I am not the only one to have this problem !

VEGAS Pro 19 Update 5 (Build 643)
Project of about 1 hour, working with 7 camera tracks (2 UHD and 5 HD), all videos have proxies, and were then put on 1 track by 'create multicamera track'. Many, many crashes on all kind of actions, e.g. just playing a preview : the sound goes on and on but the preview freezes and the system hangs, needs the task manager to kill it. I used the task manager to monitor what happens with the memory, but Vegas never goes higher than 5 GByte, the automatic backups are a lifesaver, nevertheless it is very annoying and time consuming. My system : AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor 4.20 GHz, Nvidia Geforce RTX 2070 super, 32 Gbyte. Windows 11 pro version 21H2.Vegas 19 build 636.

VEGAS Pro 19 Build 458
VEGAS Pro 19 does not officially support Windows 11. So if you buy a new PC you can't use Vegas 19 ? Just kidding, I have been on Windows 11 for some months now, didn't see any problems that were not reported on Windows 10 too.

Vegas Pro 19 crashing and corrupting files
I don't feel Vegas is a demanding program like Final Cut or Premiere Nothing to do with feelings. All professional edting software is VERY demanding. Now you are struggling to edit, but rendering will take even more resources. When you are in the timeline, the PC has to "play" a movie, only there is no movie yet, it has to combine all the events on different tracks, look at all the included fx, and put that all together to give you the ilusion of your final result, not to mention that it also changes the format on the fly to fit in the preview window.

Vegas Pro 19 crashing and corrupting files
I am a software developer myself, and we tend to work on state-of-the-art machines. The problems become only visible when the software is distributed and executed on basic pcs. The users always demand more functionality, which often requires more memory, faster processors... It is impossible to test software on all kind of machines, unless you have the resources of Microsoft, and even then... The best thing you can do if you don't want to spend money on a new pc is to look to expand your memory to 32 GByte, that will solve a lot of frustration.
