Lost Video Island

[Brooke]

I have been working on the same video for over a month because of Sony Vegas's issue.

It continues to freeze all the time. It wont stop. Lately it's worse and it's redudnant. It's over and over again.

Anytime I add something new it freezes and most of the time I have to close out and lose whatever I added or did to the video. It's making me want to scrap the whole idea, but I put so much time and effort into the video I really don't want to do that.

I don't know what else do do. I am furious because I paid 170 dollars to add more ram to my computer because someone told me 2 Gigs of ram wouldn't cut it for Sony Vegas so I upped it to 4 gigs instead. But it still works the same.


Now I can't do anything to the video because it keeps freezing. It's just irritating.

Don't know who told you about 2GB not being enough; I ran Vegas 7 fine with 1 GB for a year, and now I have 2 cos I wanted more for games and stuff, and it still works fine. SOmetimes Vegas just picks certain files it just doesn't like to open. I've found two solutions to this. 1 is looking at the backup file and seeing if that works. When you save the project, there should be a file right underneath it of the same name with a .bak on the end. Changed that .bak to .veg and it should open fine. Another thing I did to stop it was opening up a brand new file and copying everything from the old project into the new one; it sometimes kicks out whatever niggle it was that caused the error in the first place

huh; that's weird :S certainly the more the better, but you dont need four :S silly guy, whoever he is

just highlight everything (hit CTRL an A and it highlights it all) then hit copy (Ctrl+C) then just paste it (Ctrl+V) into a new, empty project. Make sure you have both the original and the new empty project open before you copy hope it works!
