4K in Vegas Pro 12

Hi Randy

Instead of using the Track Motion feature (it will adversely affect the final result) after importing your clip in the timeline, right click in the Preview Window and select as per pic below.

Thanks so much Francois, that is exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks again,

I just finished a project and have another question.
As per your suggestion the preview window shows the clips fully but the resolution is horrible and lots dropouts occur on previewing transitions/dissolves and have to be pre-rendered to make sure they’re going to work.
Any suggestions or is it simply time to update my old AMD Radeon HD 6900 series card?
Thanks,
Randy

Hi Randy

Sorry about the late reply, I was out of the country. It may not be just about updating the GPU. Different things will affect all of the components at various degree depending on what you do. Also, you are trying to work with 4K files with a version of the software that was not designed for it. (And I suspect that your comp is under-powered to). If you are more than an occasional/part-time/only on alternate Wednesday editor, you may want to look at upgrading your hardware and your software. Once you’ve upgraded your software, I suggest that you download a trial version first. Once you’re happy with the testing, go ahead and purchase. (Sometimes, you can get the version prior to the latest for less on some reseller’s web sites. If you don’t need DVD Architect, just get the Edit version (Google is your friend) Stay away from the pirated versions !!! What I personally did was to enlist the help of a couple of my buddies and installed the trial version on their computers that all had different configurations. That helped me narrow my search when choosing the different parts when I built mine. You don’t need to spend a gazillion gold coins on hardware. It all depends on what your needs are. Foe example, my configuration works for what I do. It may not for you.

Regarding being under powered you may be right…I “built” this PC 6 years ago when I was still doing production/post but it has an i7-3770 3.10ghz 4 core with 32 GB RAM.
The only pro work I still do is shooting and posting (to youtube) a weekly church service which I will continue to just shoot 1080p.
I want to shoot 4K of nature to set to my music compositions (ie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9us7AWN0q8) so probably won’t see a financial return…but I did just buy a new graphics card (Geforce GTX 1050)…I know it’s not the best but about all I wanted to spend.
I hope to install it tomorrow and see an improvement in the preview…if not, updating from Pro 12 will be my next effort.
Thanks very much for your help Francois,
Randy

BTW, I see you own a XH-A1…I have one I’ll sell you for $200 if you’re interested…works great except the firewire port petered out and they are no longer available but you can capture tape with your XH-A1 I would assume.

Hi Randy

Thx for the offer but I use my XH-A1 mostly for cut away shots and record on a HVR-MRC1. It has served me well in the past and still does but to a much lesser extent.
