Vegas crashes with Boris Red5 and .veg file just disappears...

Hi Carlos,

I have been running an expired demo of RED 5 for quite a while now and have the same problems as you do. I did mention this problem months ago over at BorisFX Forum for which they said they would investigate about my problem but never got any feedback.

If you are inside RED 5, it will crash when Vegas autosaves. Then your .veg gets renamed to .veg.tmp

Unfortunately I have given up on RED 5 as this made RED 5 unusable.

Here is the link to the thread I started:

Thanks everybody for information!

Even Red5 5.2 crashes with Vegas Pro 11. But as said by Steve, Red5 works great on Vegas 10 as I have tested.

Actually, I have given up on Vegas 11. After intensive tests, even build 683 is unstable. I would say along a work day Vegas crashed around 10 times randomly. The funniest crash was when I sneezed on microphone when using "Dragon Naturally Speaking" (Normally I access programs shortcuts and commands by using Dragon). After a sneeze have crashed Vegas 11 my confidence on Vegas 11 got very low :(

Bye,
Carlos

Thanks for the tip Mike!

I ran Vegas11 in Vista compatibility mode.

The problem with Boris Red5 still happening in the same way related by Robert (http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/15/863102).

The compatibility mode was not effective to other strange Vegas11 behavior that is not to set animation to Titles&Text (e.g. from none to earthquake). In a Vegas same session I have at most twice chances to change the animation. After that it is unchangeable in the same session. If I insert 10 Titles&Text after that, it will be impossible to change animation in each one. Just after restart Vegas I will have twice chances again and so on...

Maybe other random crash could be prevented by compatibility mode. But after I have used a whole day of Vegas 10 with Boris and other heavy FX beside other apps running together and don't have any crash, I am tending to stay with the 10!!! I am going to develop a bigger project and I am without confidence to go ahead with version 11...

Bye,
Carlos
