Vegas Pro 16 lagging horribly with large projects
I’ve been using some version of vegas starting in 2007 with platinum 8. I’ve been using Pro 12 for many years and have been wanting to upgrade to 16. Yesterday I installed it and activated the trial. Apart from some UI changes I wasn’t super pumped about, everything seemed familiar enough and worked similarly enough. Then I tried opening one of my project files and the struggle began. I edit often for youtubers and have projects and project templates that start off with about 100 files, then theres usually about 100 more added on for whatever video I’m working on so my projects are dense with files. It took 16 about 4 minutes to open the project the first time, and about a minutes and a half to 2 minutes the second time. Then the preview lag was insane even on preview auto. I tried increasing the ram dedicated to vegas to 2 gigs, I tried turning gpu acceleration on and off. Nothing worked. It takes Pro 12 about 20 seconds to open the same project and there is no preview lag on best full unless there is some intensive effect going on and none on best auto. I dunno what settings to tweak to try and stop this horrendous preview lag, it works perfectly find when I try editing with one 1 file so I think it has something to do with the number of files present. I would really like to get off of 12 as it gives me trouble in other ways but I really cant unless I can fix this. The system I’m working on is dell gaming laptop with 16 gigs of ram, an i7 and a decent video card.

Are these mainly Quicktime files?
Try uninstalling Vegas 12 completely, then restart your system and see if there is a difference!Steve Rhoden (Cow Leader)

No they are mp4. Sometimes I can use .mov a little but often times I have to convert them because they are extremely unstable for me. I am reluctant to uninstall 12. I tried putting together a project file and stuff it with near equal numbers of files and video on the time line and it performed a little better but still not very good.
