I've got about 75GB worth of 1920x1080 24p 50 Mbps MXF files from a Canon XF 305 camera that I'm trying to organize the footage for. I figured using subclips from the trimmer would be an easy way to classify by shot type, etc.
First, I found out that tags don't work with subclips, and that the Media Manager is apparently not supported any more - couldn't find out anything about it since version 9.
So, I decided to make about 30 bins in the Project Media window, and spent about 8 hours going through my raw footage in the trimmer, creating subclips and putting them in the correct bin.
Now my project takes forever to load - it must be a least half an hour. (I walked away and had dinner and when I came back it was finally loaded.) AND I HAVE NOTHING ON THE TIMELINE - just my clips and subclips in the Project Media window. If I close the Project Media window, and open the project, it opens in 35 seconds. However, if I try to open the Project Media window so I can see my bins, then it hangs again.
This appears to be the same problem as http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/Forums/ShowMessage.asp?Forum=4&MessageID=904249
So now I appear to be out of luck. Vegas crashes on me enough that having to wait 30+ mins for it to reload is a non-starter. And all that work of creating subclips and bins appears to be wasted.
Does anyone have any suggestions how to save this, or an alternative workflow to organize my project that won't require the Project Media window to work right?
I used to be proud to show Vegas to my friends, but now I am embarrassed that basic functionality doesn't work.
