Having problem watching Pre Rendered Project??

[John Rofrano]

You can use Shift+B to perform a RAM preview of small looped sections of the timeline. There are some HD formats that no computer can keep up with and Vegas does not use the GPU for preview so a video card will be no help. Keep your preview settings low (on draft if you have to). make sure that your project settings match your source footage settings. This will give you the best preview. Also making the preview windows smaller will help.

John – would it be valuable, sensible to cut in converted, proxy files and then swap back at finish? Any value in doing this? – I’ve always wanted to ask this.

Yes, and that’s what VASST GearShift does. It converts all of your HD footage to DV Widescreen proxies so that you can edit at full speed and then it allows you to swap the proxies out for the original HD media before you render.

That might be a good option for this situation.

Production Assistant doesn’t give you the ability to swap the proxies in and out. GearShift is specifically designed to do that. You could make the proxies with Production Assistant but you would have to swap them manually which could be a lot of work if you have a lot of clips.
