  Pro 8.1 64bit way slower than MovStud Plat 9.0b in Vista 64

  Posted by Don Stewart on December 16, 2008 at 3:40 pm

  Hello all,

  I bought Vegas Movie Studio 9.0b Platinum Pro Pack and since I am running Vista 64bit I thought upgrading to Vegas Pro 8.1 64bit would help me edit my Canon 5D Mark II 1080P video a little better. I was getting about 5-8 FPS previews and worse when I add effects etc… So I begged the wife and broke out the credit card and bought the upgrade last week.

  However (Vegas Pro 8.1 64bit) is running far worse than (Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum Pro Pack) on the same system. When previewing, rendering movies moving the sliders etc… I tested using a blank project with the same source video file with the same rendering output settings. All performance is worse. Argh…

  System Specs:
  Vista 64 Completely updated drivers ~ Core2 Quad Q9450 ~ 4GB DDR2 ~ 300GB 10KRPM WD VelociRaptor & 2 each 750GB WD 7200RPM in RAID 1 ~ GTX280 1GB PCIE video card ~ 37″ 1920×1080 LCD DVI TV/Monitor

  I am a little upset at spending the money for the upgrade. But all would okay if I can get it to at least perform the same since it has added functionality.

  Also a little side question: Is there anyway to have all the extra Pro Pack transitions and other tools added to my Vegas Pro Install?

  PS: I moved this post over here from Vagas Basics as it seems this is where this type of post belongs – sorry for the cross posting – (Is there a way for me to remove the other thread in Vegas Basics?

  Thank you for any help.
  Sincerely
  Don

  If you are using Vegas 8.1 then stop using it – it is flawed. I went back to 8.0c on my 64 bit Vista Ultimate Machine and the speed increased 10 fold. There are too many bugs in 8.1 – just use 8.0c and wait for them to get it straightened out.

  I have noticed that the speed difference is nominal, sometimes seems to take longer creating peaks(no concrete evidence just expected vs actual{not scientific}) good to know about the moviestudio! Did not know it was for 64bit hmm.. prem elements?? thx…
