Multicamera Editing

[László Kovács]

Hi,

Unfortunately yes ☹
I posted Magix my screenshots about various situations where CPU/GPU loads are visible.
My footages are fullHD AVC (50p from my JVC HM600, 25p from a Canon XA10).

Read CPU/GPU loads (also note preview fps and secondary monitor toggle):

Best regards

Smetimes (say 5-6 times a year) I shoot some stage recording for schools. These are 2..3 cam shots, and Vegas10/14 never froze as described. The timeline is than 1 to 3 hours long. So that should not be the problem.
I suspect something with video driver, but I’m not sure of course…

Best regards

Thank you, Paul, I will disable autosave and try again, I will also not use the second monitor.

I am new to Vegas Pro. I used to use Pinnacle Studio 14. My subject matter is 3-hour musical stage productions with one wide shot and one closeup. The closeup camera jumps non-artistically from one performer to another, so I cut away to the wide shot during the transitions. One reason I upgraded to Vegas is so I can add a *third* camera shooting from a different angle and covering less area than the wide shot. Now, when I cut the “bad” video from the closeup camera out of the primary video track, I can preview which of the other cameras to go to instead of just relying on the second track always to be good. Multi-camera editing makes that easy. Otherwise, I could have stayed with Pinnacle.

As far as editing shorter segments and then, as an added step, dubbing the results in line, I might have to do that. I was hoping that my investment in Vegas Pro and an HP-Z230 with 16 GB of memory and a Quadro graphics card would make it so I wouldn’t have to.

Would disabling the Media Manager take a significant strain off of the system?

Try this. Press space bar and wait for a bit. Sometimes the playback will get ahead of itself and pausing the playback will allow it to “catch up”. I would NOT disable auto-save if you are having freeze-ups. I recommend that you pause, save, and continue editing frequently to make sure you do have the most up to date edits in case of freeze.

Update: I split my 2+ hour timeline into five 30-minute projects and multi-camera editing now works! However, I have a new problem. See my thread entitled “rendering.”
