    I am having a problem with my outboard JVC pro monitor and Vegas 9 set-up. I bought a Blackmagic Intensity card so that I could have two computer monitors for editing and an output for the JVC to see video. But the JVC picture quality is set by the Vegas preview window settings (full, half, good, best) and the picture is jittery, unlike any outboard monitor I have ever seen, including this system with Premiere. I cannot see an edit properly unless it is rendered which is completely unacceptable. I cannot believe that all Vegas users are putting up with this. I have Vegas 9e 64bit on an Intel 2QuadCPU Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz with 8 Gigs ram and ATI video card. If I must, I will give up my second computer screen. Thanks in advance for your advice.

    Vegas Pro support the Blackmagic Decklink card for preview. I don’t know if it supports the Intensity the same way. I use the Windows Secondary Display and it does match the preview settings but it’s good enough to edit.

    I just started using the Intensity shuttle, can use it as a secondary monitor as well. With DV and M2T files I don’t get 30 fps but it’s at least 15.I have an I7 930 chiip, 6 gig ram. Vegas is a CPU based program and any video cards with GPU won’t help with your preview. I switch to Preview auto and the preview is smooth, enough for me. With your computer, you must be editing with AVCHD or MP4 or something very compressed if your not getting results like mine. What form are you using?
