  • Upgraded to Vegas 9.0 – red screens everywhere and incredibly slow!

    Posted by Paul Johnson on August 31, 2010 at 8:33 am

    Hello folks. I’m hoping you can help.

    I just upgraded from Vegas 8.0 to 9.0. I’m having some issues…
    Basically, whenever I make a change to a keyframe, add an effect.. basically change the project in any way, that frame suddenly becomes a solid red block on my preview window and on the timeline! Now I have random red frames flashing up randomly all through my video..!

    ALSO –

    Vegas 9.0 is much much slower than 8.0 (even takes twice as long to load), and unworkably slow in pan/crop and track motion windows. If I advance along the project timeline then everything’s nice and smooth. I can move forward, back etc with no problems. But if I do the same in the Pan/Crop or track motion or FX effects windows then there’s a HUGE lag of several seconds when trying to move forward or back. It feels like wading through treacle. bearing in mind this is the exact same sequence and project file which I was usong on vegas 8.0, and it was nice and fast on the older version.

    Any ideas? This is for paid professional work so I’m getting rather desperate here!

    Slight update –

    I just tried working in Vegas 8.0 again, as 9.0 is too slow to use, and 8.0 is now showing the same massive lag problems!
    It was working fine a couple of hours ago. Only after installing 9.0 did 8 become super laggy. I really don’t know what to do at this point.

    What system are you using?

    I’m running Vegas 9 and, although it struggles a little with AVCHD, I find that it behaves pretty well.

    For high definition it does seem to require a well specified machine: I’m using 64bit Intel Core i7 with 12Gb RAM.
