Sony vegas pro 13 window preview lag
Posted by Leonardo Barone on April 21, 2016 at 7:43 pmWhen I start to work with vegas everything is ok, but after one hour the videopreview windows start to slow down untill to end in terrible lag at the point that I con’t work on my project anymore, then if I turn off my laptop for awhile, when I turn on it again the window preview look ok, but don’t last so much time, it’s my laptop fault or sony vegas ?
Somebody know how to fix it ?Thank…

I face the same problem with you.
However, I have a verypowerfull computer.
SSD, 16gb ram, I5 at 3.200 and (not on board) graphics card.In my case, when I select “preview Full” I can see perfect for about two seconds. On the third second… a delay on sound occurs and I have several drop frames.

April 25, 2016 at 9:56 pm4GB of RAM is really low first off.
For laptops, that for obvious reasons do not have a the power of desktops, you might converting all h264 media to an intermediate codec like XDCAM.mxf or cineform.avi. These codecs have less decode overhead than h.264.
The overall compute power of the laptop will determine the limits of improvements. i5 and AMD processors in laptops are generally not optimal for Vegas editing. Even laptops with “good” processors and a state of the art NV mobile GPU, will be half of what a i7 desktop with discreet GPU will give you. Mobile compute performance sucks, because they are trying hard to limit heat, and max battery life.

What settings would you recommend for xdcam.mxf or cineform.avi to get all the quality out of the original mov files?I am using full HD from EOS (avc at 49.1 Mbps).
Thanks
