After seeing a post by Royce1 in the "Vegas 11 is Crash Happy" topic I decided to try his "fix". The fix is:
On April 27, 2011, - I suddenly tried changing Vegas Pro 11 by using WINDOWS compatibility feature. (Right click the Icon of Vegas, choose Properties and then choose the Compatibility Tab) - The compatibility options are:
Windows Service 2008
Windows Vista
Windows Vista (Service Pack 1)
Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)
Windows 7
Royce1 selected Windows Vista. I have used Windows 7 (which will be an option if you have Service Pack 1 installed).
This has SOLVED the crash issues I was experiencing, which were that Vegas would crash whenever I used any of the Sony GPU Accelerated Transitions, Video FX, and the Titles & Text Media Generator as well as ANY of the New Blue OFX transitions or Video FX. At times the crash was immediate, other times I would have to edit the item 1 or 2 times before Vegas would crash.
I am using the current Build 595.
I had previously tried many of the "fixes", including a clean install, an install to a new user account, etc., etc., etc.. None of these "fixes" did anything to alleviate the constant crashing of Vegas.
If you have had similar issues I recommend that you give this a try as it is easily reversed if it does not solve your issues.
