Am I expecting too much?

Are your project properties and track frame both 1440×1080? I have noticed that if Vegas has to do any track motion changes or pan/crop changes (especially if project properties are set to Best for Full Resolution Rendering Quality) that GPU acceleration no matter how beefy the graphics card seems to take a holiday.

Definately.. project properties are set to the media I am editing. Fortunately all my work is on mxf files from an EX3, so the settings are always the same… but I checked anyway 🙂

Something else. I tried the “Expanded Edit mode” and when I pressed Num key 5 to exit the mode, Vegas froze, necessitating a restart.

I’m beginning to wonder about VP12.

On the expanded edit mode…. did Vegas go white? I have had the switch between expanded edit and back take as much as 40 seconds but it eventually got there. I suppose viewing Vegas 12 through the lens of the mess of Vegas 11 gave it a small leg up in the acceptance battle but I will agree with you that 12 still does not rise to the level of “pro” polish which is a shame. I still choose Vegas over everything else for the sheer speed and ease of pulling an edit together but at some point I think the failings may pile up to an unacceptable level.

[Phil Seymour] “so the settings are always the same… but I checked anyway :-)”

1/- Check that your Audio Settings in your media macth your Project Settings Audio.

2/- Do you use the “Match Project Settings” function?

3/- Is : “Adjust source media to better match project or render settings” selected?

There is need to doubt Vegas 12… Make sure when you right click
on the preview window, “Adjust size and quality for optimal playback”
is not selected.

Thanks Graham.. yes I did do all that. I am quite particular about getting initial settings correct.

Well, until I ask I/we don’t know.

Looks like one for SONY then?

Cheers

Yes, Steve. It was turned off. The Black Witch must be flying over my house today… All of a sudden the Project Media window became messed up in that the contents of the folders were missing or more strangely migrated to another folder. Seems to be a memory handling issue, as it has happened before in VP11. Close down and restart brings things back to normal.

I have never had so many issues with Vegas.

Interesting to note is that I have two system drives (SSD) ditto on this computer that I can swap around, one with Win7 Pro and Vegas alone, the other ditto but with Adobe Master suite CS 5.5 installed. Both configurations exhibit the same problem.

All media, scrap and render files are on drives other than C (System drive)meaning the only common denominator is Vegas and Win 7. Drivers are the same and the latest apart from the new beta Nvidia.

Sorry Graham. I thought I said that at the outset. Just confused here 🙁

No confusion here. Wanted to confirm you had the Audio to match too.
