Hi Guys,
Thanks for your input.

I found that I was making the mistake of dragging the media into DVDA7 instead of adding media to the menu tree. When I did it via the menu then all the chapters were imported and the add marker button became live too.

Doh!

Thanks again

Martin

Hi Aaron,
Yes my laptop has dual graphics, and you cannot disable Intel from controlling the display as dedicated graphics. However, my NVIDIA graphics are set in properties for certain applications and so it is presumed it kicks in when Vegas launches.

I’m wondering if those results returned also show the Intel video memory which is a lot lower than the nvidia one? Unfortunately I cannot gain access to advanced options in bios to tweak video memory.

To answer your other questions…..

I’m not using external drives. Source media is on internal drive.

The Vegas projects are both ones created within Vegas 16 and ones upgraded from Vegas 15. The slow issue was also evident in Vegas 15 anyhow.

Yes i am running a few third party plugins. I don’t think any were added just before the issue arose. But I will check.

The source media is .mp4.

I have contacted Magic support and waiting on a response.

Thanks
Martin

Hi Aaron,
For some reason I don’t get to see this info?
In command prompt is shows it’s looking at the cpu etc then at the end a load of info briefly appears before it just closes itself down every time? It doesn’t remain open for me to even red the results?

Dimitrios,
As mentioned in my post, I’ve already tried that with no difference.

Cheers

Hi All,
Thanks for your replies, advice and sharing my frustrations with this.

Nigel…In the absence of any other solutions, i wonder if DISK I/O is a problem. Would anyone know how to look into that?

It would seem that almost all that are having issues with this Vegas Pro 16 have the same experience with things slowing down, especially the larger the project which suggests something is bottle necking somewhere.

Aaron, thanks for your input here. I don’t think I’ve put insufficient info here explaining my issue to get started. It seems a lot of people are having this issue with different specs.
Interesting point you make about the GPU, I know mine would struggle now. but the interesting thing is, that Vegas Pro 16 works better for me with GPU enabled? I mean, it crashes more when it is off?

Also, I’m not running an external drive. The issue is there with and without an external monitor.

I appear to me fully Windows updated. I do, however have Vegas Pro 13 and 15 installed as well. Would they cause a conflict?

Could you advise how to test OpenCL performance; Intel quicksync and NVIDIA NVENC??

I ran the command prompt test and here’s what i got…..?

Anybody??

Thanks John,
That’s helped lot.
As always….thanks for your sound expert advice.

Hi John,
So even though Vegas needs to deinterlace…….will the project still be interlaced when rendered? I’m presuming so as this is the point to shooting interlaced and having an interlaced project running. Otherwise I’d be really confused…..

Thanks
Martin

[Martin Stanesby]

Hi John,
Thanks for the advice.
That’s rather confusing then…if it’s not about deinterlacing the footage…why does Vegas call this option ‘deinterlace’? I would h ae thought Vegas would default this option if interlaced footage MUST be deinterlaced….why have the option for none??

Thanks
Martin
