Hi John-thanks so much for your input. I have a couple of follow-up questions for you.
John “make the swap file a fixed size so that Windows allocates it all once and doesn’t have to go looking for free space to expand it.”
How do I do this?
[Dave Petteruto] “5> I view my video on a remote HD TV via firewire through a Canopus ADVC110. The playback blacks out for a second sometimes (TV only, not video preview window in Vegas) when it hits a crossover on the timeline, any thoughts on this?”
John “Vegas has to render these transitions on the fly and if your computer can’t keep up you will see black frames. You could prerender the timeline to avoid this.”
When I turned off “Adjust Size and Quality for Optimal Playback” the “black outs” stopped. Also with the same elements on the timeline in Vegas 732bit I had no “black out” problems. Is there something in the Video preview preferences that can be adjusted (dynamic ram, rendering threads or?). I can’t believe this new computer can’t keep up. Even with my older slower computers I’ve never had this “black out” issue.
Thanks
Dave P.
