So I use Sony Vegas Pro 13.0 to render and edit my videos. Lately I've been noticing a rather annoying problem with the program on my computer. Once I play the videos on the timeline, when I try to view them via the project media preview the audio plays but the video doesn't (then vegas crashes) This is a problem for me especially with the fact that my latest videos involve webcam footage so I need to use the preview to make sure the webcam feed is in-sync with the audio.

I have been searching for sollutions but the only one I have come across is for people with 2 GPU outputs set on there vegas. Whereas I only have 1

Please help! It will be greatly appreciated!

Specs (If Needed):

*Intel(R) Core (TM) I7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz 3.80 GHz

*12.0 GB (RAM)

*64-Bit Operating System (Win 7 Home Premium)

*nVidia GeForce GTX 460 GFX card (yea, bit outdated I know :p but thats not the problem cause it works fine)

I have never had that particular problem, and I still am on 11, though plan to upgrade to 13 soon. I've been using Vegas since 7, and encountered various issues from time to time. The solution that has almost always worked for me can be a bit of a pain but it's a good idea. And it will take some extra work initially.
Re-partition your HD and then re-install Windows in the new partition. Then install Vegas and update your drivers and that's it. Call it your editing partition. Disable everything you don't need. I have Vegas installed on both an editing partition and my regular partition and usually when rendering larger files it crashes partway through the render so I boot up into the rendering partition, reload my project and...

Most professionals have an entire computer just for editing & nothing else. I'm not that rich in my personal life, so dual or multi-booting is the next best thing. Most crashes seem to be due to conflicts with other software installed on the computer. Not a quick fix, but hope it helps.
