Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Sudden Video Lag

  • Sudden Video Lag

    Posted by Wil Laughner on February 28, 2011 at 1:56 pm

    I got a new computer a couple months ago. But there’s something wrong with it. Video on my other computer worked smoothly, but on this one I get video lag on any video file in Sony Vegas, even GIF files. Should I try to re-download Sony Vegas? It’s really ruining the fun of making movies.

    Is your preview set the same? Try preview, auto. This is a faster computer?

    Yes sir. It’s very confusing.

    Your computer specs as well as which version of Vegas you’re running are always a help in trying to troubleshoot a problem like this.

    I looked at your other thread where you’re having the same problem and I agree with the responses you got there.
    Your computer is too underpowered for the demands you’re putting on it.
    You also didn’t say how many hard drives you have but if it’s only one and it’s getting full, this is another problem.
    Lastly, it could be a heat issue.
    When was the last time you took the sides off and blew out the dust bunnies?
