Activity Forums VEGAS Pro A couple of ‘small problems’

  • A couple of ‘small problems’

    I’ve installed Vegas 64 bit on my Mac Pro (using bootcamp with Windows 7).

    The mac is damn fast.

    How do I set up Vegas properly to make use of all the power? This is an editing computer, hence it is not used for more. I want it to allow all of its power to be used by Vegas. How do I do this properly?

    I am up working, finally, after so many problems with installing Windows 7 and stuff (I has taken more than 3 days of work to get it running).

    Now I am editing something, but at times, the preview just turns black. If I want to ‘preview’ clips in my media bin, it also turns black some times. Only some times. There is nothing wrong with the files, as they can easily be watched at some times and not at other.
    My idea is that it is because of some wrongly-tweaked RAM-setting.

    When it happens, I can’t ‘preview’ anything. It is all black, but plays the sound perfectly. If I minimize the program or close it down, I can work again, but only for some time, until it happens again. What could be wrong?

    Sounds like a graphics driver problem with the Mac hardware. Bootcamp doesn’t “officially” support Windows 7 yet so you are out of luck on getting any support from Apple until it does. They announced support by the end of 2009.

    Hmm, that is weird. It works some times?

    Well, I actually think it is something about the RAM…

    I worked my way through the project and when I want to render, it says: “System out of memory…”

    Now, that is funny, since the system has 16GB of RAM and Windows says usage is less than 15 %.

    There must me some setting wrong, some where.

    Ill try to run a benchmark; then I will know if it is only Vegas that doesn’t wanna play with the RAM or if it is other programs aswell.
