Ultimate Vegas Machine?

[Scott Francis]

John,

Why do I get better playback on all my video clips when it is disable verse enable, even when I am using an interlaced format?
I have also noticed that on some of my clips, Vegas incorrectly reads it as progressive when it is interlaced (mediainfo confirms that). I have to set it properly in the clip properties, any idea why?

Does your project properties match your media properties? Because if they do, resample will not be used at all so it doesn’t mater what you set it to.

What format are the clips? It sounds like either a bug or maybe an unsupported format.

Curious has anyone played with these Intel PCIe SSD solutions? They look like a beast of a drive, https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-750-series-ssd,4096.html

Might have to add them to my dream build 🙂

Not the ones from Intel but I have an OWC Mercury Accelsior E2 PCI Express SSD as the boot drive in my 2010 Mac Pro 12-Core and it’s scary fast:

OWC had these before Intel came out with theirs but I assume the Intel’s get similar results.

Oh wow that’s a bit less expensive. I’m thinking about snagging one… Which size did you get? It’s a bit pricey yet for the TB+ ones.

I’m also trying to find an EIA 19″ PC case. I have a small server setup in my house to run everything and might put the PC in there with a terminal in my office to run everything.

I got the 480GB one for $379.75. It’s just for the OS and Applications. I have a 4 disk 8TB RAID5 for my video data.

Hi John, hi all.

I use Vegas versions 8 to 11 on 32bit notebook SONY VAIO PCG 8131M,

64bit versions 12 and 13 on 4 Core Intel i7 2670QM 2,2 GHz Sandy Bridge, 16 GB DDR3, GeForce GT555M 3GB, WIN 7 and on 4 Core Intel i7 4700MQ 2,4GHz Haswell, 16 GB DDR3, ATI AMD Radeon HD8690A 2GB, SSD, WIN 10.

For short videos is OK. But now I use Boris BCC 9, green screen with Chroma Studio, make backgrounds effects and my videos are more, than 1-hour long. I make 1080p 29.97 videos with Nikon SLR camera and JVC GYHM-100E (35 mbit, MP4, XDCAM EX 35 Ver. 2). I render in Main Concept 1080p. For render 30 Minute, I need 12 hours!

I can make .MOV videos and render also to another format, but I think, it will be not better on my computers.
I will make 4K videos too. For background I will buy After Effects.

I will buy for this new machine. I read many forums Czech and German, but first here, I find very practice comments. Thanks for this. (Sorry, my English isn´t good enough.) I will buy components and these will build a professional firm. Case, PSU, Cooler… But they don´t know, what is for Vegas Pro better. I needn´t the best, but my machine must work in future.

I read here:
– 6 Core or 8 Core processor
– XEON v3, or v2, Intel i7 5960X, 4960X … thanks for link to cpubenchmark.net

Need I two video cards, John? When the MainConcept AVC encoder won’t use any card newer than the Radeon HD 6000 series. I need for quick render an old video card – Radeon HD 5870? And for edit in Vegas pro for example an R9 295 or 295X?

How many GB RAM DDR3 I need for begin and optimal?

What else is important?

Thank You for any answer. Pavel Dynzik

[John Rofrano]

I really haven’t been following the latest PC hardware since I use a Mac Pro now, so I’m just going to generically recommend an Intel Core i7 6-Core, 32GB memory, SSD, and Radeon R9 290/390 series GPU. I realize that GPU won’t work with MainConcept AVC and if that’s really important to you use an older card but I don’t think you need two.

I can buy older processor Xeon E5-2670. It is for older motherboard with LGA2011 socket and with DDR3. I can buy also board for two processors Xeon E5-2670 – its more expensive.
Can Vegas Pro use two processors when I render video? Thanks’ for answer.

[John Rofrano]

[Pavel Dynzik] “Can Vegas Pro use two processors when I render video?”

Yes, I have two 6-Core CPU’s. That’s 12-Cores total with 24 Threads and Vegas Pro makes good use of the majority of it. I think it only allows 16 threads but it doesn’t care if they are all on one processor or two.

You will need Windows 7 Professional to use 2 processors. I don’t think Windows 7 Home will use 2. Maybe Windows 8.1 or 10 is different. You should check just to be sure.
