3How to Fix Sony Vegas Pro 21 Crashing on Startup
If you're experiencing frequent crashes when launching Sony Vegas Pro 21, you're not alone. This issue can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you're in the middle of a project. One possible cause is problematic OFX (OpenFX) plugins, which can interfere with the software's startup process. Fortunately, there's a simple fix that has worked for me, and I'm going to walk you through it step by step.
