Hello all,
Please share with me briefly how Vegas version 10.0d is
holding up in your day to day workflow under some serious work?

Steve,

Doing the following:

1. multi-camera HDSLR edits
2. Single HDSLR edits. h.264 plays nicely in timeline
3. mixing a weekly audio podcast Audio tools ROCK in Vegas
4. Setting up After Effects workflow- SVP to AE+Red Giant
5. Produced 2 Web TV shows for a client. From 12 to 24 episodes
6. Working on the editing/FX for a Medical Web TV Show

Four-camera HDSLR timelines with 2-4 additional audio tracks. Plays fine on timeline, usually. However the trimmer is useless (is always full-res so it doesn’t play smoothly). And when I set to multi-cam mode it doesn’t play smoothly at all, a bit painful. I also have problems with a long lag to start playing sometimes, and sometimes it skips ahead about 7 frames when I hit play. This last problem usually goes way if I close and reopen the project. There does seem to be a memory leak in Vegas.

I use it every day. Some of my projects have 15+ tracks. No issues to report.

Crashes occasionally for me during multi-track edits, (un)usually when scrubbing, in both 32 and 64 bit versions. Thank goodness for auto-recover!

My system specs: Intel i7 970, 12GB RAM, ASUS P6T, Vegas Pro 10 (x32/x64), Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, Vegas Production Assistant 1.0, VASST Ultimate S Pro 4.1, Neat Video Pro 2.6

I use it every day. no problems at all. I currently have three projects in the edit que, all multi-camera, and eventually all will have 10- to 15 tracks.

Editing multicamera shoots (4 cams 3 different formats but all HD). sometimes crashes, usually doesn’t. Not doing enormously complex jobs other than multicam. No fx. I suspect that there’s something gets triggered in certain HD based multicam workflows, I’ve been able to repro it when it happens, so I’m pretty confident it’s a Vegas issue…Biggest day to day problem is the inability of the preview to be able to keep up with the timeline. Biggest request I could make is to rewrite the graphics feed to do something like Premiere does with it’s Mercury engine, meaning properly take advantage of the graphics card. But lately it’s been more stable, for reasons that are not exactly intuitive. My computer is stable besides these occasional errors in Vegas. No bluescreens, no problems.

Project typically HDV, Vegas Pro 10.0d 32bit.

Only serious issue (case is open with support) is using BMD Decklink ASIO audio driver.

Undo (either button or Ctl+Z) crashes Vegas 99% of the time. No audio track in project or switching to Windows classic wave or direct mapper driver etc problem goes away.

Cheers for now,

I have three Vegas 10d systems; two 3+ghz quad core and one 3+ghz dual cpu xeon:
– 32(on XP) and 64 bit
– all footage comes in from Canon DSLRs, and batch rendered (90% of the time synced with plural eyes) to…
– Cineform NeoHD/ Cineform V2.5 (yep, thats right:) / and uncompressed 8/10bit HD, all on software internal RAID
– all 3 have AJA i/o

usage:
– Time lines are usually 30 secs to 3-4 minutes
– Always multiple tracks, minimum 5-6 video and twice as many audio, max 20ish video
– lots of magic bullet looks (color, blurs, vignettes)
– lots of rendering to and importing from AE renders (vegas stays open a lot of the time)
– Same goes for ACID and Sound Forge
– Lots of Pan/crop/masking/track motion, nothing major but its always applied somewhere on the timeline.
– LOTS of keyframes, everywhere.

Problems
– crashes on batch renders in 32(too much MOV on the timeline for batch renders), but not in 64.

…thats it. There’s an odd crash here or there, once a week maybe, but nothing regular or repeatable, pretty solid for the most part. They get pushed pretty hard too.

Update to my last post – installed 10.0e and problem has not been fixed – originally reported against 10.0a.

Cheers for now,
