On one of my PC’s VP12 will crash about 90% of the time when adding a clip to the trimmer. On another PC it’s fine. I’ve reported this to Sony with absolutely no response in 3 weeks.

Two hours is really the max I ever try with a DVD, anything more will suffer visual quality. You could try to render out to a Sony MXF format and then let DVD Arch. re-render it for you to see if it looks better, but you are past the general limits for a DVD.

Anyone else having problems with multi-cam not always recognizing the mouse click to change cameras? Most the time I need to use the keypad numbers to switch between cams.

Besides the crash that randomly occurs when I right-click an event to the trimmer, the multi-cam randomly doesn’t allow the mouse to change cameras, I need to use the number keyboard.

I had the same problem, the discount showed in my account but didn’t follow through when clicked to buy. I called, they answered quickly, and gave me the discounted price.

Yes, but shouldn’t I be able to place a clip in the trimmer at any time, without crashing? I often put clips in the trimmer to recover the audio that I didn’t want on the timeline previously. Or, maybe, to trim it again.

Just know that I’ve had issues with using projects created with previous versions. That is, when editing a VP10 veg file on VP11 it has crashed on me. Whereas it’s fine if I recreate the VP10 project in the newer Vegas 11 version.

I never liked the integrated version of the stabilization, with its simplistic settings and the need to place it on the whole media clip (or make a subclip). I’ve been using Mercalli V2 and it works great and can be applied to any clip on the timeline. Oh, I just tried the integrated stabilizer and when I just tried to place that stabilized clip to the trimmer it crashed Vegas 12.

I just set it to 1024 and although it didn’t hang, it kills my multicam performance. I have 4 cams and with this set, it’s very jumpy, even when playing back after doing a RAM prerender. Then I switch it back to zero and its smooth again. I can live without RAM preview, especially since my timeline plays smoothly with almost any plugin I use anyway. So I guess with a fast system with a good GPU there is no longer a need for this feature, at least for me. Any complicated filtering and/or composting I would make an intermediary render using Sony MXF anyway.

OK, I just downloaded it. I did have a hang when I tried to use it after increasing the RAM Preview. So I set it to zero and it seems stable. I guess that issue isn’t solved. And I can live without RAM preview, again.
However, performance is vastly improved. I’m using the NVIDIA GTX570, and with VP11 it would be sluggish with playback of more than 2 cameras in multicam. Now with VP12 I have 4 cameras and it plays and edits smoothly! Yay for better GPU acceleration. Other features seem cool, but that was the main one for me. I almost switched to Premiere Pro because of the sluggish multicam performance.
And yes, there is a discount on the upgrade but I didn’t get the promo email. So I logged into my account and it listed it as $139.95, but reverted to $189.95. So I called Sony and they took my order over the phone for the $139.95.
