Oh! of course, sorry.
So theoretically one would multiply bitrate by four to get about same quality, if compared to Full HD?

Laughing out loud with this tread. And somehow sad wondering what has become of the world, when someone asks a simple question and gets just questions in response, until the thread turns into a fight.

If you believe in Adobe’s presets, then I recommend doubling the bitrate of fullHD to get a similar quality. Since UHD is basically twice the size in pixels, you would be keeping the amount of information preserved in the file.

Thank you very much, I was facing a similar problem and this solved it.

Just a tip for everyone – since I am creating lots of these self adjusting boxes, I decided PARENT the boxes to their respective text layers and then replace:

text_width = thisComp.layer(“my_text”).sourceRectAtTime().width;

for:

text_width = parent.sourceRectAtTime().width;

And so on with the rest of the code. This way you can duplicate both text and box several times and as far as the box is parented to the right text, it will have the right size.

I am trying to be as optimistic as you, but Vegas 11 was a real pain. I consider it to be an incomplete release, with constant crashes with anything from the GPU rendering to using the new text, closing an effects window, color correcting…

So, the question is: when we get Vegas 12, will they support us? Or will they leave us alone again to start working on v13?

Sorry for replying this old thread. I upgraded to Vegas 11 and it really feels very buggy, with crashes with the new Text media, Any FX (even Sony’s), keyframes…

I switched from AMD to nvidia (because of Adobe products that work better) and I had hope that Vegas could benefit from the stability… but it’s pretty much the same crash machine.

The only good news is that the GPU-accelerated renderers now work for exporting. But I got crashes all the time. I have to use the legacy text because the new one is unusable.

I do have a workaround: running Vegas in compatibility mode (run as Vista) seems to avoid the crashes. But I feel it runs a little sluggish. Any news about this?

In my case I believe this problem began with I installed a new version of my ATI RADEON HD4500 drivers.

I found out that there is a SYSTEM tab in the template settings with a single button. ‘CHECK GPU’. The button tells me that ‘OpenCL is available’.

Thus I concluded that the ATI driver installed the OpenCL thing, and now Vegas was trying to use my GPU to accelerate the conversion resulting in some crash in the renderer.

Solution: in the ‘video’ tab of the settings, there’s a Encode Mode setting. You can set it to ‘render using CPU only’. It solved the problem in this case.

Sorry to reply to an old thread, yet I have some light about the causes, at least in my case. I don’t have a solution yet.

A week ago, right after clean installing my whole system (Windows 7), I tried to install a ‘portable’ version of Internet Explorer v. 7 because I needed the compatibility for my internet banking. Great error, this installation messed up my whole system, and no system restore or cleaning tool helped me. Then I applied a fix that involved re-registering DLLs and, while my PC is functional now, this little problem remains.

Vegas believes that all Video For Windows, Sony MXF, Sony Perfect Clarity Audio, and WAV audio files, should use the ‘.wdp’ extension. This is most probably a registry problem.
