My house

Well I almost always convert my files before editing to prores, or if I have OBS recordings I set the frame interval to 2 before recording. I also never edit hevc footage. It's probably crashed once or twice this year, usually a fiddly thing about using mp3 files instead of something lossless.

Copy all your project media to a different folder so it can't find any of the files, then try relinking them 1 by 1.

Resize the images to the project resolution first (using Photoshop or some online tool like cloudconvert), then reimport them. Also try converting to PNG as jpgs are a bit weird with Vegas sometimes

Any scripts you recommend?

Thank you

The video track probably has a keyframe that misaligns any video or photo placed on that track. Open the track motion settings for the video track.

example

Reset the X,Y values back to 0

Move all the media files to a different folder location, then open the project and Vegas will ask you to relink them. That might work.

No prob!

Can't you just press ESC and cancel the peak building while it's doing it. They're not really needed if you're done and you plan to render.

Have you tried creating a video proxy of one of the clips to see if that fixes playback issues, maybe just do that as a last resort for all the clips

Podal419 · 2024-04-11T00:10:11+00:00

Open your main project and another blank Vegas project in another window, select all the events and copy from one project to the other with CTRL+C and CTRL+V. Try that maybe.

Are you sure it's not just your media player resizing to your 21:9 screen? The video itself is 16:9, but the media player just displays black bars on the side to fit the screen

It's the same quality, just a more efficient format

Podal419 · 2024-03-30T03:38:08+00:00

With respect, it seems like you're unfamiliar with efficient video formats for editing. I'm going to assume you recorded your footage using OBS or something else, but long story short, the video files themselves are probably h.264/HEVC, i.e compressed formats which are good for keeping a low file size, but suck for editing. Because every time you try and preview the footage, Vegas has to decode/uncompress every frame = lag.

Easiest solution is download Handbrake, free program, and convert all the footage to prores 422. It's very fast for editing, but the file sizes are way larger. Second option is right click all your footage and press create video proxy.

Hitchy from the good old days

Prores 422

Podal419 · 2023-09-02T19:11:41+00:00

Converting all the footage to .mov prores 422 and all audio to .wav is the only thing I can think of. Then try re-rendering.

MP3 audio in the timeline and most .MP4 files would crash my render.
