Starting a New Project in Sony Vegas

[Danny Hays]

What are the specs of your computer? Have you tried setting the preview window to Preview/auto to get faster framerate when it plays back? This will degrade the preview quality but add speed to the preview and should not effect your render quality. Hope this helps, Danny Hays

Dan,

I’m using this type of PC

Intel Core Quad CPU @ 2.83 GHZ
8 GB
64 Bit
Windows 7 Home Premium

I set my project settings to HD 1080-60i (1920×1080, 29.970 fps) Field order = Progressive, quality = best, deintetlace method = none for slide show HD videos. Just placing them back to back on the timeline, my dual core 3.4 laptop works great with preview set to best / full. Are you using alot of effects? What do you mean gettin slow when project settings are HD, HDV AVCHD. There is no AVCHD project setting. If your talking about rendering that’s different.

Dan,
Because your computer is like mine. I created 4 projects about 4 to 8 minutes long each because og the regeneration lag. I then decided to put it all together but sections of the cut and paste are left out in the merger. What’s happening

I’ve never done that so I don’t know. People do something similar called Nesting, where you can add whole projects to the timeline of a new one. Search the help file for Nesting. I’m sure it’s easy.

Nesting is very easy.
Split your project into smaller portions.
Let’s use 4 as an example.
Save each portion as a separate veg file (i.e. myproject-1-1.veg,myproject-1-2.veg, myproject-1-3.veg and myproject-1-4.veg).
Work on each piece until you’re done.
Start a new master project, set your project properties accordingly, import each veg file and drop it on the timeline.
Be advised that they will come in as a single video track and single stereo audio track (5.1 is not supported for nesting), no matter how many tracks were in each one to begin with.
Save it and render out in the desired format(s).
