Nigel,

I like your system. It’s a lot like mine. Did you build it?
Can you tell me more specs?

I can’t find a way to change multiple mask keyframes at the same time, sorry.

[Jeff Schroeder]

Oh, you mean keyframes for a mask!

I thought you were talking about pan/crop.

Allan,

Yes, click the first one, shift-click the last one, right-click one and select the envelope you want to use. This will apply the envelope to all selected keyframes on that event.

Nadia,

Does it shut off right away, when you press render? Or, does it take a while? If it takes a while, like a couple of minutes, then the most likely cause is over heating. You fans and CPU cooler will need cleaning. Watch a youtube video and do it yourself.

Otherwise, your Vegas installation has issues. Re-installing may help you.

Matt, I did mean the loop region. Thanks man!

Mike,

After I have color corrected and applied any adjustments or effects, I turn them all off (bypass all). This makes editing much easier. It would be very nice if Vegas had a Global-off for video FX. I then edit using RAM preview when needed. At render time I turn on the effects (project,track and event levels) and I turn off (set to 0) the Dynamic RAM amount on Options|Preferences|Video tab.

I can only say for sure that the RAM setting affects MPEG renders. They start out fast and then slow to a crawl if I have RAM dedicated to preview. I think it is slowing down Sony AVC, but I’m not sure. I use very little of the rest because I don’t need to.

Set yourself up a little test to render out a three minute region of a project. Do a fresh re-boot, render the normal way, then try again with 0 RAM set. Please report back and let me know what the difference was, if any.

Hope this helps,

Jeff

add 64.99 for another 1.5 TB drive
keep the small system drive and keep your work off of it.

add 94.99 for another 8 GB om Memory
change the video card to a GTX550.
I prefer ASUS (I chose the 460 because I have one, the 550 will do fine)

This was not a quote. You order the parts from Newegg.com, you pay for them, you assemble the computer.
You can expect $15 to $25 for shipping, but no sales tax, at least in my state.
All this for around $1200. It smokes your other quote.
You can do it! This time next year you’ll be making computers for your friends.

Joshua,

Do you feel confident assembling a computer yourself? If not do you have a friend who can help you?
There are also videos on youtube to show you how to assemble a computer. Plus, you can ask me questions off the board.

I can beat the last invoice you posted by $300 and set you up with a better system.

-better mobo
-twice as much memory
-faster drive
-nicer case

All from newegg.com. I’ve been making high end system since the 486 was the best.

Jeff

Mike is right, If your going to have a raid you want raid(5) with at least 4 drives in a jbod setup.

I’m not familiar with the mobo, and there have been a few negative remarks about sandy bridge with video editing. You’ll have to track that down.
