Firstly, apologies for posting a negative message like this, but I am extremely frustrated with Vegas right now. I've been a user since Vegas 2. I upgraded from that to Vegas 3, then 4, 5, 7, and now 9. Vegas 7 was a nightmare. One project took me 4 days to render because of the number of times it crashed whilst rendering. The client wasn't happy as he'd already invited a group of people to watch the video. I was hoping with Vegas 9, most of the bugs would be gone by now. Clearly not!
I have a music video project right now which I've cleaned up so much that I'm just left with the essential parts remaining. There are a few chromakeyed tracks and a track of still image backgrounds. Rendering the entire 5 minute project as a whole is impossible. It should be possible, but I can't get it to render without crashing. So what I'm doing is wasting more than twice as much time rendering smaller chunks to a new track. Rendering with just one track of video seems to work. But rendering those small chunks to new tracks so I'll have a single video track to render a master from is taking forever with even more crashes. Hence the small chunks, whatever I can get rendered without it crashing.
EDIT: The smaller chunks have all been rendered.
Error reports are not possible, because that particular computer is not connected to the net.
The plugins I'm using are the levels plugin, color corrector, chromakeyer, New Blue Vignette, New Blue Chromakey, and the free AAV 6 way color corrector. Nothing special. I use Neat Video also which I know can cause problems if there's not enough memory, but I'm not using it on this project.
It's Vegas 9b I'm running right now. Same problems happened with 9a.
Also, the same issues occur on 3 different computers here. It shouldn't be something that users should need to tweak their computers to get working.
