When the camera records an image, it uses a particular aspect ratio. The horizontal dimension is always longer than the vertical. If that image is rotated 90 degrees, it will not fill the screen. Any software which does fill the screen is either cropping or distorting the image. Vegas maintains the correct perspective. It gives you the tools to crop or distort if you wish to fill the screen, but it leaves that decision with you. It sounds like your other software is not offering that option.

Vegas can do the rotation by itself. You don’t need third party software.

I would not base too many changes on preview performance. Preview speed is affected by several things. The rendered version of the video should not exhibit these hiccups, and the rendered version is what counts.

As you said, Vegas is a video editing program. Its forte does not lie in processing still images. Other software is better suited for that application. You should probably, at the very least, convert your still images to PNG files. Vegas has much less difficulty processing PNGs.

It sounds like the problem is in your playback software since the render can play correctly.

I’m not sure why your system is crashing, but mpg files are highly compressed. They are not the best type of files to use with a video editor.

There is a check box in the render screens that says something like “render loop regions only”. If that is checked, you must be sure that your “loop region” includes the entire video. That is always my last step before starting a render.

Try capturing in Vegas 32 bit.

Better speed will be produced if the video is not located on the same drive as the OS and the programs (i.e. the primary hard drive). Personally, I do not favor an external hard drive. I prefer a second internal hard drive. It should be large, fast, defragmented, and have lots of free space.

No, the video card has very little to do with performance in Vegas. It can reduce performance if it steals main memory, but it cannot boost performance. A slow fps simply means that your computer is underpowered. Things that produce this are slow processors (cpu), inadequate memory, and insufficient hard drive performance.
