light rays not rendering like preview

[Francois Pénzes]

Hi Colin

I went thru a dozen effect with Prodad in Vegas Pro 16 and I did see a big difference in Preview when I went from Best (auto) to Best (full) just like Mike K. described. And my renders matched what was displayed. I’m not saying that Vegas Pro is perfect, far from it, but none of the other ones are either… and I’ve worked with some of them. They all have their quirks. (take a look at the other corresponding forums on Cow)

I would suggest that you look more towards your hardware. It could be that you have a bottleneck somewhere, in-compatible parts or even defective ones that may not be performing to peak capacity. A computer used for editing is not built the same way as, let’s say, a gaming one. A wild guess on my part would be to start with your GPU. Again, you may have a wizbang GPU but not the best for editing.

Cheers !
