Vegas 11 on Surface Pro
Hi guys,
I got a shiny new surface pro and I have my Vegas 11 on it. Everything starts up properly, but the problem I’m having is that everything is TOO SMALL. I have the DPI cranked up on Windows, and most programs seem to respect the higher DPI settings, but Vegas doesn’t (except for the menus). No joke, the toolbar and track buttons are smaller than a grain of rice. I can barely even SEE the controls, let alone click on them.
Any idea how to get Vegas to obey the Windows DPI settings? I have tried enabling/disabling “Vegas Color Scheme” but that doesn’t seem to change anything but the dark/light colors. Is it better in Vegas 12? I’d hate to have to shell out for an upgrade, but will if anyone can confirm that it works.
Thanks!

Vegans 12 toolbars do not work either when the dpi is cranked up… I have to put it back to 100% for them to show up right. I ended up putting a shortcut on the start screen to the display setting page in control panel… just have to log off and back on when I want to edit. It is small, but it can be done! I did a whole project that way – just to say I could… that’s what paid for my surface pro!
Kind of a pain, but very cool and compact setup with PhotoShop also… I’m editing with the client, on the spot changes in the restaurant! Watching him pull out a laptop AND an iPad made me proud to live in the Microsoft club for a change. -
Thanks for the reply. I ended up returning the Surface, for this very reason. My eyes just weren’t good enough to make out the tiny controls, and upping the resolution prevented me from seeing the video in HD. Until Sony corrects this dpi issue I will just have to stick to low-density displays.
By the way, a buddy of mine showed me Vegas running on his retina MacBook Pro, and it had the same issue. Sony really needs to get on this, because high density displays will be everywhere by the end of the year and this will be a much more commonplace problem.
