I bought the upgrade, since I had some small projects created with the beta version that I still wanted to work on.

HI I bought it and have been using it flat out since the minute I got it. FULL of bugs, crashes 50 – 60 times a day. Has a good layout and for some reason renders faster, but useless until things are ironed out. I really think Sony should have tested the beta for longer and worked a bit harder getting this one right. Also what’s wrong with able to save as a previous version so not everything is wasted?

[John Rofrano]

I’m using it every day and it seems very stable. I did find one bug with rendering a DVD menu that had motion that I animated with Pan/Crop and the motion was not smooth when I rendered to MP4 so I had to go back to Vegas Pro 11.0 to do the render but other than that it seems to work pretty well. I wouldn’t delete Vegas Pro 11.0 just yet though. There are bound to be some “gotcha’s” like the one I found but overall I really like Vegas Pro 12.0.

Got it here… working great so far. Though I’m only doing an audio project this week. And while I bought it last week, I’m still waiting for Sony to send my registration code. What’s up with that? Now they have bugs in the ordering process!

Still running the trial and I can make V12 crash in a matter of seconds, very unstable.

So I decided to turn GPU OFF and to my surprise, V12 is much more stable, runs slower on previews, but it doesn’t crash. NBTP 2 also worked well so far and V12 has not crashed even when I had 4 instances of V12 running side by side with some fx intensive sessions. And no glitches in the preview.

I prefer stability over GPU acceleration and if this proves to be right, either my graphic card is not suited for V12 or V12 just isn’t ready for stable GPU.

It still needs further testing GPU OFF but I just couldn’t go this far with GPU ON on V12 and not having it crash. And this time, GPU seems to be the cause while with V11, I could never move on because the color curves fx settings would not show up, GPU ON or OFF. This has been fixed in V11 701 and in V12, so this issue might not have been related to GPU while I was thinking maybe my computer might of been the problem.
I did purchase V11 but never used it but if V12 proves to be stable GPU OFF, I will most likely purchase it.

I have an ASUS NVIDIA GTS 450 with driver: 306.23-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-english-whql.exe on an i7 2600, 16 gb ram.

Could any of you please list your graphic card you are using with V12? Gathering this info might help me in fixing my problem with V12 GPU ON.

Thanks

We started a thread for this for Vegas Pro 11.0 and there are some strong contenders for what to buy:

To answer your question directly, I have the NVIDIA Quadro 4000 and it works flawlessly.

Thanks John, but I am specifically looking for graphic cards that work well under V12 just like your Quadro 4000.

My GTS450 is ok in V11 but in V12 it just makes Vegas crash within seconds to several minutes, so there are changes under the hood in V12.
