Of course. It is usually right after I click "New Folder" in the explorer. It makes the folder and gets to the part where it would normally create the folder name. Then vegas crashes. Sometimes it is aware of the crash (IE Windows says "Vegas has stopped responding), and other times it just crashes.

When I browse to the folder in explorer the new folder has been created.

Cannot reproduce this in V13.

Does the problem happen in every directory/drive? If it happens only on certain ones, have you looked at the file permissions and owner? Lastly, have you tried re-installing Vegas?

Peter

Which Build of VP13 are you using?

G

Yes, this happens from version 11 onwards.

SCS team is unable to reproduce/fix it.

It is discussed here:

Solution: Don't create a new folder from within Vegas. Go to the location and create it via your OS.

VMP

No problem here VP13_b373 - Win7pro_64

You presumably mean ".... and go to create a new folder in the Vegas Save As dialogue" ?

Or are you creating a new folder with Windows Explorer while the Vegas Save dialogue box is open and focussed the folders involved ?

geoff

Nope. Can't reproduce in VP11,12 & 13.

As stated by SCS, this doesen't 'always' happen.

Sometimes this happen when saving a screenshot via the Vegas monitor window then creating a new folder. And sometimes via the save project as window.

VMP

So far so good here....

I've not seen this.

Have you tried checking the disk for errors? I recently had some very mysterious problems that turned out to be bad sectors.

Just tried it and Vegas crashed stating:

Vegas130.exe

If the project/timeline is empty then it doesn't crash.

VMP

Just did some debugging myself, maybe I am onto something.

Chad, do you have any offline files in your media pool/ project media window?
Or quicktime .Mov files?
The following file seem to be causing the 'new folder' crash on my Vegas:

.Mov
MPEG-4, QuickTime
Format : DV
Codec ID : dvcp

If it is not in the media pool the crash doesn't happen, if it is, it does.
Also a quicktime file which was offline caused the error.

VMP

Right now I am only editing PNGs together. Not even PNG sequences, just PNGs for animation animatics.

But it is about 60-80% of the time. I also never had this problem before with 12, and now have it almost every time with both 12 and 13.

VMP are you a Vegasaur user?

BUMP-

VMP are you a Vegasaur user?

Chap

Chap.

No I am not using Vegasur.

I had the same problem at my end. The only way I can fix the problem, is if my scopes are "off" then it does not crash, when I create a Folder. If my scopes are "on", it causes a Crash. Hopefully Sony will remedy this issue. Hope this helps.

Interesting - I've had this problem for since at least V12 - reported to SCS without resolve but never noticed that scopes might be the cause. In some simple testing here (W64) - it does appear to be related to scopes being on with clip on timelines and scopes "active" i.e. displaying data.
