i gave up on this program after not being able to finish one of my bts videos, so i moved onto after effects. it works way better then this and i was able to get a lot better plugins. i honestly dont recommend sony vegas to anyone. dont waste your waste, because you're gonna have yourselves a big headache

@IGotSticky how long did it take you to figure out after fx? to get used to it.. i have after fx but when i opened it i was totally lost.. i have to find the time to go through some tutorials and stuff

[IGotSticky]

@venompo8 it is very different but all you need to do is play around with it and you'll get the hang of it. im just happy that i switch because i managed to get some extremely awesome plugins that i wouldnt be able to with sony vegas.

@IGotSticky both programs have some advantages and disadvantagess so i think its the best when you know about both programs and use them both :)

ill have a try at after fx.. :)

Hey bud, here try going under options - preferences - and UNCHECK the box that says "close media files when not active applications..." now exit reopen your project. You might see the red clips still but play your videos anyways, it should work. For further test, render the whole project it should work. If you get the message "memory low......etc" try rendering it in highquality not HD, cazz HD takes lots of space. Well I hope that helped. pz

Hmmm ... I seem to have the same problem.

The way I fix it: Save the project, set the Preview Quality to Draft-Auto, exit Sony Vegas, then re-open it and voila it's fixed

The reason why this happens is because you probably have the preview quality set to the highest setting, and that makes Sony Vegas consume more RAM.

With the preview quality set to Draft, the problems disappeared suddenly.

I'm running W7 on 3 GB of RAM, so I don't know how yours is going to act.

Give it a try, you never know..

@venompo8 keep both of them cause there's some things in vegas that you cant do in after effects and the same goes for both but if your gonna go ahead and get the programs why not get all of them sony vegas is a good prep program to train you for after effects

Mine crashed while rendering for some reason, then reopened it and half the clips are red :S usually before i can do anything it crashes and i have to close it and start again. Ocasionally I can get enough time to go to render but it stays at 1% or at different parts and i have to exit through task manager which then tells me its crashed :S I usually use HD clips and even higher resolution than these are :S please help

@sharp9939 how pls tellme

[xAngelxHeartxx]

@IGotSticky Exactly, it's really annoying, but I have to do it since it's the only editing software I have that is decent!! :( It's soooo irritating.

[IGotSticky]

@xAngelxHeartxx yes, you use less clips, means you use less memory & ram ETC... BUT are you really gonna make a whole bunch of little clips instead of one small 3-4 minute video or maybe more?

[xAngelxHeartxx]

@IGotSticky I have had very similar problems but only in rendering, I've very rarely gotten the red clips problem. But I never had these errors when I first started and it's slowly worsened!! D: I was able to finish one video, I'm trying to get the other one to render! But it works better when you render things in parts.
