Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Dropped Frames During Capture

  • Dropped Frames During Capture

    Posted by Corey Whitley on June 7, 2008 at 2:18 pm

    I am using Sony Vegas 8 on a Quad Core PC and capturing via Blackmagic Design DeckLink. I am batch capturing from a Sony Beta SP Deck and am getting dropped frame counts on every capture.

    The longer I let the capture go the more frames are dropped.

    I decided to capture video from a cannon handy cam to see if there was a difference, and I didn’t drop a single frame, upon multiple stops and starts.

    Does anyone know of settings I may need to adjust in Vegas or with the deck itself. Thanks

    So I bumped up the

    “Maximum RAM buffer size:” to 100%

    and the “Capture Latency (frames):” to 30

    and I am no longer dropping frames from my SDI capture.

    But for some reason it will not capture any longer than abut 2:30. I try to set in and out points of longer length and I can’t capture a whole tape. Any help would be huge.

    Thanks.
