Oh man, oh man...

I was so close to finishing a vid with Vegas when it loses my file!

Luckily, I had a backup .avi turned .wmv copy of it. But now Vegas completely fucks up and freezes and crashes with it! When I tried to play the vid from the start in Vegas, the end result is just the first pic, then blackness, with audio. And it renders the same way. What the fuck is going on!!! I can start this vid from scratch again. I don't have time or patience!

EDITED TO ADD: Now I don't even have my back-up anymore since I fucked it up with that stupid FourCC Changer! All I have is a sloppy back-up!

*cries*

Okay, I quit.

RE-EDITED TO ADD: What really pisses me off is that the vid wasn't even for me! I wanted to do it as an unspoken favor for someone.

Oh God. Please let me wake up tomorrow morning and find out that Vegas is cooperating enough (that means playing the video and audio without dying) so I can manage to salvage what I have and finish this thing.

*prays*

*sobs*

Maria...you might hate on this idea, but what if you download from putfile the bit you sent me...plug it into a new project file, add the music you were using, split the music at the end of the clips on the video piece and delete the music that overlays the video and just work from there? The first half might not render as crisp as the second half, but, hey, its better than nothing at all after all your hard work, right? *snuggles* Maybe that'll work in an absolute bind?

Ooooor...is the project file a .veg? If it is, can you just upload the .veg and let me see if MY vegas will open it? If it does okay in mine, maybe you just need to uninstall vegas and reinstall? I have a crack for it if you need to do so...you'd just install the trial version (if you google "Sony Vegas 7 trial it'll pop right up in the search) and then apply my crack to it to get it rolling again.

Well, I stuck in the sloppy back-up. I couldn't fix it since it was too late. And the rest of the video was half made in Vegas (with the effects) and transported into WMM for rendering. It was a pain. But it's finished.

It's not as perfect as I with it would have been done entirely with Vegas but I don't know what's gotten into the damn thing. Hopefully, it was just this project that got whacky and the next one (if there'll be one) will be smoother.

Sending you the finished product through LVI if you want to check it out!

I have no advice to give, but I do offer sympathy. :-)

Aww, thanks Steve.

Your icon is sympathy enough, trust me. It's adorable. ;) Not to mention it gave me a good, long-needed chuckle!

I do what I can. :-)

Maria, I was bored and reading some of your back posts to catch up with you.

Is Vegas really giving this much trouble? Why didn't you tell me? I prolly could've helped you figure it out. Sometimes it can very tempermental depending on your codecs or programs that rely on similar files. And sometimes it can be something very simple.

Don't ever hesitate to ask me questions. I'm around almost all day every day and I don't mind helping at all. I know how frustrating it can be sometimes, that's why I can help. ;)

Well it was giving me trouble that night-into-day. It's really weird. One night it just decided not to play what I had thus completed from the start (it'd just freeze up). Luckily I was able to salvage some stuff and put it into WMM. Vegas still worked fine when it came to editing (like splicing and effects) so I finished my vid by doing the effects and stuff in Vegas and pasting it all together in a giant vid in WMM. This was for Aislynn's birthday so I was in a rush. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it but I haven't tried Vegas since then. So hopefully things are going semi-okay... *crosses fingers*

Thanks so much for your concern though, sweetie! And I'll let you know if I ever need help.

*hugs* ;)

Okay. =) I've dealt with a lot of crap from that program so I'm pretty sure if you're having trouble I've already had it and fixed it.

*hugs back*

And I'm almost caught on your journal. =)

Thanks again. I'll that all in mind! :D

lol. You don't have to catch up on my journal. There's nothing important anyway. :) ♥
