  • Vegas using up to 70% processor while doing nothing?

    Posted by Francisco Jfm on June 20, 2016 at 5:05 pm

    Every time I open a project in Vegas, after it loads the project, vegas keeps using the processor for a long long time. And also the disc. That turns impossible to edit things, because the preview window is too slow while that happens. It is not doing any proxys and I don’t know what it is doing!
    Any clues?

    Yours,
    Francisco

    Just speculation on my part, but it probably has to to with generating thumbnails, which can take some time if you have a project that has lots of events. I used to have thumbnails for head and tail, but switched to head only which seemed to speed things up considerably. Since my system has a relatively weak video card (Nvidia 650), I’ve found that waiting till that processing is finished really helps preview performance, especially for 2.7K or 4K video. But again, I may be completely off the mark.

    That may help… But… Where is the button to disable it?!! 😀 (thanks)

    Under Preferences, select the Video Tab. On the fifth line, there is a drop-down menu where you can select thumbnail options.
