That’s a strange one, it might be the pixel format under preferences. That can alter the brightness on the output monitor but I’m not sure about the Vegas one. (32/8 bit video)

No I don’t work with H264, Vegas doesn’t handle it too well. I convert the files with Neoscene to AVI files. All runs smooth and well until it crashes. Computer doesn’t lock up, only Vegas comes up with error message. Frustrating as I put the very best recommended components in the system. Has to be Vegas as After Effects runs like a dream.

I’ve actually already done that, it’s a fresh clean system. I just wonder if the other guys using Vegas are working in 1080P AVIs as I have no issues with DV. I really don’t want to learn another system but seem to be forced that way. I’ll still give it another go with additional ram and different drives just incase.

I really believe CS5 is the future now. I’m hearing nothing but great reports. Vegas was perfect for me for DV, I had no issues except for the occasional lockup, but for full hi-def it’s a different story. Anyone want to purchase Vegas 9?

Even after the update to 9e, Vegas still crashes regularly. It always happens when I press the spacebar to play the timeline. I will attempt to put in additional ram and use an external raid of hard drives to see if that makes any difference. Failing that, it will be CS5 and a wig to make up for all the hair loss.

My striped drives are separate to the C drive, they are two striped into one and they do work well. I can preview in full high def using the black magic extreme card through HDMI on a sony 1080p monitor with dissolves, color grade all in real time. It’s not my hardware, it’s Vegas and they keep getting my error report sent to them every 5 minutes. my system was designed by the company who handles the Australian defense force animation computers and all the components are of the same highest grade. Nothing else ever crashes and I put After Effects through the grinder for hours on end without a hiccup. That’s why I believe that Adobe is more stable. I however just downloaded the Vegas 9.0e version and played around for half an hour so far without crashing or green clips! Regardless this new version has to prove itself or I will be switching to Premiere CS5. As Apple is focusing more on ipads and iphone and less on Final cut Pro, it’s another reason why I believe Premiere has a very strong future been abble to work across both platforms. Are there any rumors or news of what’s to be expected in Vegas 10? it better be a major update or they will be left behind! Despite my gripes I love working with Sony Vegas, but it’s not a matter of what I like but what actually works for me. If I was starting again, I would go CS5.

I’m running Vista 64bit with dual Xeon quad core workstation @ 2.80ghz with 8gig ram. Plus the NVIDIA Quadro FX 1700 card.
I have two striped drives for my editing and then data drives.
All seems to work fine and 1080P looks incredible and plays in real time without effects in full quality. My only issue is the amount of crashes. Every 5 minutes it hangs up on me. It never did that on my older system.
Vegas is version 9.0D
Another issue is that sometimes all my clips turn green! On my older 32 bit system this happened once in a blue moon but they used to be red.
So yeah, these issues are a real concern to me. I understand that crashes are inevitable with any machine and Final Cut pro also excels at it, but every five minutes is ridiculous.
I understand I need more ram but these crashes occur by just simply playing a basic timeline.
Any suggestions?

It seems that Adobe likes to take over the industry with quality products and aggressive marketing . They did it in print and web, why not video. I’m a long time fan of Sony Vegas, I absolutely love editing with it. My only issue is the way it’s perceived in the industry and not many high end professionals seem to use Vegas. I don’t like the color grading in Vegas, although you can get around that with Magic bullets looks. I’m a big fan of After effects, if it would only link better with Vegas, it would be perfect. I don’t really want to learn another package but then again I don’t want to be left behind. I’m just wondering what Sony has up their sleeve for the next Vegas version. I have three weeks to make up my mind. With 1 terrabyte of 1080p footage to cut, I need something damn stable!!!

Actually I am using the cineform software to transform the codec and files to AVI. I wouldn’t try to edit natively at this point. I might look into Bulletproof looks as I believe there’s a Vegas version now.

It’s so damn obvious, I don’t know why I didn’t think of it!
Makes perfect sense. Thanks!
