Small performance issue on Vegas video 6.0C
Hi,
I’m totally new to Vegas, but I like what I se so far. I have experienced a few minor issues, that I would like to shar if someone might know if they could be illiminated.
When I play back my timeline with external preview, I sometimes get a few framed dropped or something; a few times in a few seconds, every aprox. 5-10 min. If I play back the same thing over again there is nothing. It is plain playback of DV PAL footage with no filters, transitions ect. I have tried to render to a new AVI (the org. come from Pinnacle Liquid Edition), and it is the same. Have set the previw to best (full) too.
I tried to adjust the RAM setting for “video” under preferences from def. 64 MB to 256 – still the same.It’s on a machine with 3.4 GHz P4 / 2 MB cache, 2 gig ram, 10K systemdrive, 2 160 gig SATA drives striped. Graphicscard is Nvidia quadro with 128 MB and latest drv. the firewirecard is ADS Pyro TI-based, and the AV/DV converter is Canopus ADVC 100. I have installed the latest intel inf. too.
I tried my TRV19 and used it as aonverter as well, and the problem is the same.
When I render to AVI there is no problem at all – the quality is outstanding, so if there is nothing to do about it, I can live with it as preview, but you always try to get the best, right…. 😉
Thanks in advance.Rgds.

Could be your preview setting is stretching resources a bit, then second run through things get buffered. Try reducing to Good and see if it makes a difference.

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
I have tried all the different settings in preview, they are all the same.
I tried to just output on the PC screen w/o DV device enabled – the same. I tried to have the taskmanager open to see if some bottlenecks came up but none that I can see. When I playback for example a rendered file (which is perfect) in wmp it is perfect, so my guess is some kind of windows setting that is bothering Vegas once in a while. I have never seen this with any other NLE before, but I have seen so much else that I don’t have with Vegas 😉
It’s a puzzle to me 🙂 – but as I said, not a showstopper at all…/Ulf
