 Posted: Thu May 28, 2009 7:15 am Post subject: Help With Sony Vegas |
 |
|
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

I know. After I paid for the installment and the Gigs someone was like "Mine worked fine on only one gig". It was some computer expert at my school, in the computer center.
How do I copy the project? I've never done that before. |

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!

You can have two projects open in the full version of Vegas?  Movie Studio only does one at a time (that must be why I've never been able to copy project info from one to another  ).
Back on the topic, though, I've run my Baby Vegas with both 1 and 2 GB of RAM and it's worked fine on both. The main difference I've noticed between having 1 and 2 GB is just that I can have other programs open at the same time with the 2 GB and it renders a bit faster. With 1 GB, I would have only Vegas up, especially when I was rendering, but it still worked fine.
At least with 4 GB you ought to see a big increase in your rendering time if you can ever get things to working right again. *fingers crossed* Good luck!  |
