Question Sony Vegas Pro 13 Crashing at 'Initializing GPU-accelerated video processing.' I don't know what to do at this pont since all video previews on all video editors has been lagging for me. I also tried installing Premiere Pro and it was video preview was lagging there as well. I even tried installing the older sony vegas (13) and even that lags. I've tried uninstalling vegas, clearing the cahce and manually deleting its files from my pc, which doesnt seem to work. I tried changing my settings to allow gpu on vegas and changed how much dynamic ram I have. I have tried changed draft, to preview, etc on the different options (auto, half, full). I recently switched over to using OBS for my recordings and have been experiencing a lot of problems with the preview window on sv15.I've been using OBS for 2 months now but the problem started approximately 2 weeks ago and has been preventing/stalling me from editing and rendering my videos.
I wouldn't install it on another drive - just me but I don't think it is a good idea to have programs installed over different drives - if all else fails try it I suppose but I have my doubts as to whether it will solve the problem.Īnother last option scenario would be to do a clean install of your OS and re-install Vegas - could be some corrupt registry entries, drivers etc floating about in your system.I have been using Sony Vegas 15 for a few months now with no problems. Have you updated all your drivers lately? video card in particular - what card do you have?Īre all your RAM modules seated correctly and working? you could try downloading and running Memtest to see if you have a faulting RAM module
It is a genuine version not a cracked version?
When you upgraded from 9 to 10 did you download an upgrade file or did you buy a whole new package with installation disk? It may be an installation error. Have you uninstalled Vegas and done a fresh install at any stage since originally installing? I'm not convinced it is a software conflict. When Vegas stops working (if it works in the first place) you will know the previously loaded software is the culprit.
The only way to find that out would be by process of elimination - either uninstalling program by program until Vegas works - or do a complete uninstall of all progrmas then install Vegas first then other programs one by one, trying Vegas after each installation. Many videophiles I know have 2-3 drives: a C drive with the OS and software installations and general data storage (documents etc), another drive (of at least 500GB, more mostly) for the storage of media only, and another dedicated solely for render files etc (scratch disk) The other point is in reply to your question about installing Vegas on a different drive to that having your OS - it is more common video editing practice to have the editing software installed on the same drive as the OS (usually C drive) and have the media (clips etc) and render files, project files etc on a different physical drive that has plenty of free space if one is available - this is so the software runs more smoothly by being able to fetch the needed files quickly. Sorry to butt in here - "I ahve tried to reset to factories settings" - does this mean you have tried holding down the shift key while launching Vegas? - sometimes resetting the preferences and cache helps with low memory errors in Photoshop, Premiere, Vegas etc.
