Can someone confirm that you can create 30 bins?

In my other threads lamenting my woes with trying to find some sort of reasonable media management in Vegas 13, I stumbled across this: Any more than a few bins just doesn't work.

So, please try this and see if you can confirm whether this works for you or not. I'm using Vegas 13, build 428

1. Create a new empty project, with no media.
2. In the Project Media window, right click Media Bins and pick "Create new bin"
3. Create 30 empty bins (you can just accept the default numerical numbering it names them).
4. Save the project.
5. Close Vegas, and then restart it.
6. Try to open the 30-bin project.

For me, it just hangs for minutes on end. I think it eventually comes up. I also tried this in Vegas 12 on a different computer with the same result.

Can anyone get this to work? If not, I'm not going to even bother trying to clean my system and reinstall everything.

I got the same result Running V13 build 428 too. I created 30 bins and that project will not open.

Twenty-one bins opens -- but takes about 7 seconds .. Twenty-two bins takes almost 15 seconds to open and Twenty-three bins opens in almost 30 seconds. .. Not good. Bug, I'd say.

I have the same behavior. As I recall, the previous build did not have this bug.

I can confirm it. Just create bins without adding any media to the project. Vegas will hang for quite a while trying to open the project.

This is similar to what I'd complained about with saving search results as bins. At a certain point Vegas just bogs down. I've assumed that with 25 bins Vegas was doing some sort of sanity check and reiterating it to the power of 25. Testing it's test of the test of the test...

Here's a post I made on the topic a while back:

It was a little over 2 years ago and I was running VP11-64. A very similar problem.

Checking in... did you make any sort of request to tech support about this?

Just got to filing a tech support issue this week. Hopefully, since this is so reproducible, they'll be able to address it in a update.
