  • Pro 8.1 64bit performs worse than MS Plat 9.0b in Vista 64

    Hello all,

    I bought Vegas Movie Studio 9.0b Platinum Pro Pack and since I am running Vista 64bit I thought upgrading to Vegas Pro 8.1 64bit would help me edit my Canon 5D Mark II 1080P video a little better. I was getting about 5-8 FPS previews and worse when I add effects etc… So I begged the wife and broke out the credit card and bought the upgrade last week.

    However (Vegas Pro 8.1 64bit) is running far worse than (Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum Pro Pack) on the same system. When previewing, rendering movies moving the sliders etc… I tested using a blank project with the same source video file with the same rendering output settings. All performance is worse. Argh…

    System Specs:
    Vista 64 Completely updated drivers ~ Core2 Quad Q9450 ~ 4GB DDR2 ~ 300GB 10KRPM WD VelociRaptor & 2 each 750GB WD 7200RPM in RAID 1 ~ GTX280 1GB PCIE video card ~ 37″ 1920×1080 LCD DVI TV/Monitor

    I am a little upset at spending the money for the upgrade. But all would okay if I can get it to at least perform the same since it has added functionality.

    Also a little side question: Is there anyway to have all the extra Pro Pack transitions and other tools added to my Vegas Pro Install?

    Thank you for any help.
    Sincerely
    Don

    I would like to delete this thread – as I have moved it over to the regular Vegas forum.
