Vegas 8 really slow
Video playback has been really slow. I’m working with regular SD footage. With Vegas 7, I had smooth 30fps even at Best Full resolution. Now even in Draft Full I only get 25fps. Makes no sense. My system is not that slow. AMD X2 4200+ 1 gig ram ATI 9800XT video card. The CPU is also hovering at 50% (which would be 1 core 100%) during playback.
Any suggestions?

P.S. I’ve tried playing back the same video files in Vegas 7. Best Resolution Full plays smoothly 30fps and CPU only shows 15-20% useage…

Have you enabled 32bit processing in Vegas 8?

No, project property is set to 8 bit.

I’m thinking it might be related to the project file itself. If I start a new project and import all the same files, the playback is fine. Any ideas what could cause that?

I have actually ran into the same problem. Vegas real-time preview stops being real-time. It slows down, even if I disable all effects on timeline. Not sure what is causing it.

Really strange. That one project is really causing me a headache (litterally) Inside that project, everything is extremely slow. Vegas is totally unresponsive. I’ve created nested compositions (other .veg files) and they play fine on their own (same video source and all), but as soon as I drop it inside this project, everything slow down. I’m now rendering the file and the cpu is 100% use. It shows 11hrs of render time needed for 1:45 min project with just basic dissolve transitions and some basic color correction.
This should not be taking more then 1hr to 2hrs. I really don’t know what’s going on, and I worry about the output.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
funny, that yesterday I had the exact same problem…
I got 12 fps preview of an SD DV file, however in the trimmer I got 25fps preview.
Once I moved the event to another track, the preview sped up!
That made me think it is related to the track, and voila:
shadow and glow were enabled for that track – which were not visible of course, because the track was fitting the preview…By(t)e

Even though I’m done with the project, when I have a second, I’ll reopen it and try that. How did you know that shadow and glow was active? I’m not sure what you mean by that. Are you talking about the titler glow and drop-shadow?

Hi,
[dakkar] “How did you know that shadow and glow was active?”
I forgot to mention that I’m using Vegas 6.0b, Vegas 8 may have other way to set track shadow/glow.
Clicking on “track motion” icon, the below lines contain
position (for track motion), 2D shadow, 2D glow. Beside glow and shadow the checkboxes tell wether glow/shadow is active or not.Hope I could help.
