Vegas 11 + Multicam editing = Crash

[Jim Greene]

Hey Shaun, good to see you here! I’m not sure where I read this, but I heard that the g.skill ram wasn’t as good as others, so I got the CORSAIR Vengeance. You might also want to set your “Dynamic RAM Preview” to 0 to see if this helps. Good luck!

Hey Jim!!!

I remembered you got the corsair… the Ram I got was the cas 7 high end, so I think it just didn’t like my rig. I already bought the regular ram (cas 9) of G.skill as I hadn’t heard about what you mention.. if I get any errors, I’ll def. get corsair..

Also, not sure about setting the dynamic ram preview to 0. I’ll have to get my hands in there and find that setting and see if it does anything. Thanks!!! 🙂

Dynamic RAM Preview is a Vegas setting found here:
menu/options/preferences/video

So I heard from Sony about the two monitors thing, this is their reply:

Thank you for writing back. One of our leads on the Vegas team let me know that they haven’t specifically tested it, but for the shipping version of Vegas it shouldn’t any difference whether you have two displays on one GPU, or two GPUs and two displays. This could change with future versions as we use the GPU for more and different work (it will be better to use the same GPU for processing and display).

If you have multiple GPUs we show each in the Preferences > Video tab; you can pick which one to use for video processing.

As for using Vegas on two monitors, it’s possible to do now if you stretch the window across both displays. The windows can always all be arranged, and then saved in View > Window Layouts for future use.

If you still have a follow-up question on this particular incident, please feel free to update it. If you have a completely different question, please create a new incident.

So it’s probably not the two monitors on one card thing, but I’ll continue to play around with that just in case.

HOWEVER, the RAM switch I did def. fixed a number of issues. I’m still getting NewBlue crashing on me, causing Vegas to go down with it. But at least I can render and edit now, including multicam, so it seems like that was that was the majority of my issue.

Now… another thread for NewBlue. sigh
