  • Video lag in sony vegas!!!!

    I thought lag was enough when playing the game on xbox live but now even more lag when editing. AHHHHHHHHH!!! anyway I want to edit videos in mp4 using sony vegas but it lags frantically in preview and best auto which I require. People say highlight and hit shift and b together. This dosen’t work for an 8 minute video at best auto quality, which I need. Is there a way to get super high quality video without any lag at all, or this a dream technology can not yet manage,a bridge too far. My experience of sony vegas so far has been one of laggy video making it uneditable and a malignant problem. Does anyone have any ideas on how to edit hd video properly thanks in advance.

    Vegas is a CPU based program only, and no video card cpu makes a difference. So no, even the new I7s don’t give you full frame rate preview, especially with mp4s. Now maybe an I7 with regular dv might.
    I capture HDV 1080i and set my preview to Preview, auto, and keep the window small enough to still see it somewhat clear, and do spot renders if I need to see full resoultion. Hope this helps, Danny Hays
