A more powerful graphics card certainly can’t hurt. Right now Vegas Pro GPU support is stuck in the past. It supports the older GeForce GTX 550/560/570 series and the ATI Radeon HD 5770/5870/6970 series cards. These are all older generation cards but Vegas Pro doesn’t support the newer cards as well as these old ones (the new 6xx & 7xx series cards seem to be slower with Vegas Pro). Perhaps you can pick one of these older cards up used and save a few bucks. I have an ATI Radeon HD 5870 that I’m very happy with.

I can’t say for sure but it shouldn’t hurt to have both on your computer. I’ve had older version of Pinnacle installed along side of Vegas without any problems.
[harry singh] “what about vlc player. becoz i need some these kind of application to view thumbnail of my videos.”
VLC is completely self contained and is perfectly safe to install. It shouldn’t affect anything else because it brings all of it’s own codecs with it and doesn’t expose them to other applications. That’s a good player to use.

September 30, 2015 at 12:36 amI know this thread is old, but I thought I would give it a try. I have Vegas Pro 12 and I recently am starting to have the lag issue when I apply filters etc. I have what I think is a pretty powerful computer. correct me if I am wrong. Intel I7-4820K @3.70ghz, 14GB Ram, Nvidia GE Force GTX 770. The only thing I know of is a recent graphics card driver update. Any thoughts on what it may be? Also, what I can upgrade? Thanks in advance.

That would be my suspicion too. Try rolling back to the previous drive and see if it makes a difference.
[Nathian Steir] “Also, what I can upgrade? “
Well… Vegas Pro uses OpenCL for GPU acceleration and NVDIA is not the best card for this so an upgrade to something like an AMD Radeon R9 290x card could help.
Also are you sure that you have 14GB of RAM? That’s an odd number and if true, your RAM may not be running as fast as it could be. If your motherboard supports dual-channel or triple-channel memory, then you want to add memory in pairs of 2 (for dual) or 3 (for triple) for optimal performance. For example, my Mac Pro supports triple channel memory so I have 3 banks of 4GBx2 pairs for 24GB total. When I added a 4th bank to make 32GB it actually benchmarked slower because the memory dropped down to dual-channel so I went back to 24GB which is optimal for my Mac.

November 25, 2015 at 4:15 pmI am also having a problem with sony vegas pro 12 lagging. When i play an audio file such as mp3’s and m4a’s it will take anywhere from 2-25 seconds to begin playing the clip, it just doesn’t play until a certain number of seconds. And after i press play i can’t use any other features on vegas until the clip plays otherwise it will freez or nothing happens, please help. :[
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor 4.00 GHz
16.0GB Ram
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
Is this good enough to run sony vegas? I don’t know much about computers, and also my flimsy laptop(i think it’s flimys) can play mp3’s and m4a’s just fine with no lag. Any suggestions would be very appreciated. thanks. -

November 25, 2015 at 6:20 pmTry converting these to WAV files that match your projects audio properties. What could be happening is that the audio files don’t match the project properties and Vegas Pro is waiting for your audio card to switch to these new settings. Keeping all audio in WAV format and at the proper 48K/16-bit format will eliminate this.

November 26, 2015 at 6:24 pmwow, thanks! That did the trick :] But any reason why my flimsy laptop can play these audio files just fine and my current computer can’t?

So your laptop running Vegas Pro and using these files plays back without any problems? I assume the audio chip in your laptop is able to swap settings faster than you desktop. It’s really hard to say.
Glad you got it fixed though.
