Vegas Crashing

[Ryan Mooney]

I have some R3D files from a shoot last night that work perfectly fine in RED-Cine, but when I import them into Vegas, the program crashes immediately. R3D files from other days seem to be working normally. Any ideas? One time I got a message that said something along the lines of "FCP may be corrupt."

Assuming the file is corrupt somehow (even though it works in RED-Cine), would running it through REDUndead help? If so, is there a pc alternative for the program?

I'm just full of questions today..

Same thing happening here.
I d/l'd the billiard table footage and the flowers footage from one of the other threads on this site to try them out on V9Pro on a Vista 64
w-station (Core i7, 12 GB) and after placing the footage on the timeline and shuttling through it, the frames go RED (color) which is the indicator that a crash has occurred, then I get a "File I/O" has stopped working error message.

While it works it's smooth as silk even at BEST quality but I can only
scrub a few times before it crashes.

Very strange but looks fixable. No word yet from Sony support although the app sent the fault report to Sony Creative after the crash.

the red frames in the TL usually means = Vegas is seeing errors in the clip ...
i have some HD/HDV/SD clips that have errors in parts of the clip .. Vegas can read the sections that the TL show pic frames .. then when i let it go into the color red sections it may/maynot crash ... some clips will crash V instantly others after several seconds ...
and then i have some clips ( not r3d ) that are all red in Vegas and no problem in AE/premiere/combustion ...
also note: that i have seen clips ( not r3d) that crash V9 and play no problems in V8 = got me
but all this doesn't help your crashing ... try getting a few other r3d clips to try out just in case errors were from download ...

make sure you have the newest V9 updates and vista64 updates ...
i'm not a fan of vista though i find vista 64 is more stable then vista 32 but neither i find as stable as XP .. i'll be switching to windows 7 very soon ...

if after trying several r3d clips and they continue to turn red - email sonyMedia support ( use their web support email ) .... usually sonymedia will get back to you within 48hrs ... they will then ask for a V9 log report .. so you might include ( copy/paste) the log report in your 1st support request ...

don't forget to update your sata drivers.. Vegas does not like the old ones that windows installs by default.
