Thanks for the advice but I’ll stick to PC and my new build. Whether it’s converting files or trying out Premiere for editing QuickTime it’s still less $$$ and easier learning curve then going Mac (Final Cut) just because I have an iPhone. When I started this thread I didn’t know if it was Vegas or my PC that couldn’t handle the iPhone mov files. Now we are saying regardless if you have super PC if you use iPhone Vegas won’t cut it. I’ll make it work but I get what you’re saying don’t get me wrong. I don’t do this professionally and I love what PC offers (software wise, gaming, etc..) as opposed to Mac.

Converting the IPhone footage to HDCAM-SR-Lite, Cineform-LOW, or even AVC-I(HD 60P profile) would be the way to edit that material in Vegas.
With my new rig (i7 4970K, Asus z97-A, 16GB Gskill Ripjaws, R9 380 4Gb) I’ll still have to convert my iPhone 6S footage to edit in Vegas? Or do you mean with my current setup? I hope it’s the latter that you’re referring to!?

My local shop site is where I usually stick to. Might have to try newegg or do a little more research on these 300 series cards. Price wise they seem to be same, just don’t know how the performance will be. Thanks again I’ll definitely go with a discrete card just don’t know which.
-
Do those cards still exists? Seems like my choices are R9 380 or 370 OR R7 370.
Those are in the 200-300 budget I wanna spend on the video card. Anyone one of those models standout for Vegas in particular? 2Gb vs 4Gb matter much?

And the difference is very noticeable from a Radeon R9 card vs 4600HD right?

Hey John sorry to rehash this topic… But now that it’s Boxing Day and sales are out thought I’d get some more clarification on video cards. What exactly or where would I notice adifference in editing with using a discrete video card vs the integrated one? Is it previews? Timeline editing? Adding effects?
-
Thanks John you have been a great help to say the least!
-
Good to know. Most if not all my final renders will be Mainconcept MP4 (Apple TV) will using the integrated graphics have any ill effects with rendering?
I currently have an Ati Radeon 4870 1Gb would that be better then the HD 4600?
-
Thanks again John for the tip on the batch render feature.
Now I’ve dabbled with After Effects and that apparently loves Nvidia (with CUDA) so tough choice there on the discrete card knowing that Vegas doesn’t like it. Guess I’ll try just with the integrated graphics first before buying a discrete card.

Ah ok got it .. so i tried a small clip rendered to Sony mxf format using template HD422 1920×1080 60i 50Mbps (customize template 29.970 framerate) and i gotta tell you that file is now smoooooth as butter in Vegas editing. So do i need a new PC, hehehehe… i know i do, but what a difference it made, and you’re right zero quality loss i see. THANKS!
It’s just going to be very time consuming as i have close to 3hrs of 60 fps mov footage to convert. Took me 10 min for 30 sec clip. Is Sony Vegas the only way to do this? Will Adobe Media Encoder output to mxf? I can do a batch convert in that.
As for the CPU, will the integrated HD4600 (on i7 4970) graphics be sufficient or should i be getting a discrete video card for Vegas? AMD/Nvidia recommendation?
