Sony Vegas 11 worht the upgrade? NOT

[Rob Artigo]

This is a very old post by now and lots of people added some good advice. I had been very dissatisfied with Sony Vegas 10/11 at the time and couldn’t figure out why I had to rip my hair out for it. A long time ago there was this piece of info in one helpful post.

“NVIDIA GForce GT230M”

It took a long while for me to notice it. As a result of getting a much more modern version of that video card recently I decided to declare publicly that I am indeed a fool. Had I seen this earlier, even better had I noticed the tiny, useless video card in my computer earlier, I would not have been so hard on Sony Vegas. My latest project had none of the problems i experienced before. It just goes to show you that one piece of the pie can be off and the whole pie is off. I can’t tell you the horrors I could have avoided.

I apologize for for putting this program down. I though I had tried everything. Mostly, in countless mean messages to the tech staff at Sony Vegas, I apologize here and now.

In all respects my system should have been perfect and on paper the old vid card did not raise any red flags. But looking at it as I put in the new one, it was plain as day. Thanks for the help everyone and Viva Vegas!

Advice: If you are having a problem you can’t fix take your computer to a shop with gaming experts. Have them look at your hardware!

No Worries, Rob.

Glad to hear – I think I understand – that Vegas is running smoothly for you?

Thanks Steve,

Yes, Sony Vegas Pro 11, the version I’m using now, works smoothly. The right kind of graphics card is key.
