Thanks! I’m liking the Hisense U7 so far. I realized my main LG 31MU97 is starting to show it’s age. It supports DCI-P3 (and not bright enough for HDR?) and maybe somewhat limited with Rec2020. I may need to get a new monitor at some point for my editing machine itself (Asus Pro Art?).

I have a couple questions if your so kind…

I meant to circle back to this post and put my notes. I got a TV to show my videos to a sample audience on.

I ended up purchasing the Hisense U7N, seemed to be the best I could pony up for the $$. I have been taking my grades from my editing machine and displaying them on the TV, then comparing them with my eyes… so take comments with a grain of…

Wow you are very knowledgeable. Thanks for clarifying the color space for HDR, Rec2100. I assume gamma is HLG?

I don’t think I can afford the stuff I’d really like. It looks about $10,000 for a 75″ display capable of covering the Rec2100 color space, as in the LG one you mentioned above (not out yet).

I mainly do editing for my own businesses,…

Sure thing thanks for sharing. Your post is SUPER helpful. That LG display is enticing…

I guess I didn’t share much about my setup for sake of brevity but maybe helpful.

Ah interesting… Yes that would make sense. Not sure I have the $$ for a ~75″ broadcast monitor. When I built my editing machine I bought a tool from X-Rite to calibrate the 10-bit monitor I edit on, cause I couldn’t afford a broadcast monitor… It seems to get me close enough. Someday I may have to buy one of those little ones… I digress…

I’ve gotten into color grading… I have a 10-Bit display at my editing desk but want a large panel display ~75″ in my theater room to display my work on. Has anybody played with these new 10-Bit HDR TV’s?

Thank you! Gosh sorry I lost track of the forum. I’ll check that community out. I really appreciate your kind words.

Forgive me if this is already covered somewhere. I’ve been searching a lot and not quite found what I need. I’m looking to do surround sound edits as well as some HDR. The plan would be to remotely mount my editing machine in my home run where I have surround sound equipment, NAS, battery backup, etc all also already wired to my theater room. I’d…

Curious what GPU is currently best for Vegas? Anybody have experience with one that works great? I notice my current bottle neck on the PC build is now the GPU. I currently have a MSI Radeon 480 with 8GB of video memory (Linked below):

You can lookup various ways to setup a set. Typical setup (60 minutes style – I forgot real name) is two cameras over the shoulder zoomed in, and one wide in middle of set. In my work, the goal is to capture the face, especially eyes.

The trickiest thing is lighting. You’ll want to make sure you have their faces lit so you’re not getting nose…

Curious if there’s a forum in here where other professionals provide feedback on each others work?

I’m trying to sharpen production new skills. Spend less time focused on production quality and more on message, story telling, and sharing. I created a channel to document my hiking adventures. Feedback from my friends is of course good, but I know it…

Yeah same here. I don’t know what they did but it seems to have fixed a majority of the crashing issue for me. Mine still crashes on occasion but not nearly as much thank god.

That is an excellent question that’s not quite as easy to answer. NLE Software is VERY complex. I’ve approached Magix with similar questions, on which hardware they recommend and they don’t even know.

I have a build that cuts video quite well, but timeline playback still isn’t perfect. I custom made the machine myself. I easily have $5,000 into the…

Thanks Douglas, I didn’t see your post till just now. Last couple updates from Magix seem to have increased stability a bit further. I’ll keep in mind to kill all background apps.

FYI ~ I don’t have all those versions of Vegas installed but I have several. I should really remove the extras to free up space but I have plugins that are only licensed…

Thought I would post an update here. The build has gotten faster and faster as Magix implements more of the hardware support in their software. I’m now running Vegas Pro 18.

I also noticed some of the hardware is getting less expensive. I was able to update from an I7-5930k (6 core) to a i7-6850k (10 core). Was a bit worried as the new processor is…

Mike thanks for forum referral. I made a login on VegasCreativeSoftware.info and post. Honestly, nobody really has much advise to offer. However, I did make a breakthrough on this.

I noticed Magix is responsive on their Facebook Page. I posted my question about 18’s stability there and they gave me an email for customer support:…

My problems have become even worse now. The software won’t even load. It takes about 10 attempts to load it before it launches.

Anybody know of a support number? Anything for Magix? Another forum with perhaps some of the software developers on it?

Thanks,

I spoke too soon. It ran rock solid for about a day. Now it runs for about 5 minutes and randomly crashes. Only things I notice crashing it consistently:

1. Task switching
2. Clicking too fast in application on timeline

Any ideas are welcome. My workflow is completely destroyed with this crashing so much. I wish vegas had a support… Read more

Interestingly, I made some progress immediately after I posted this thread. I found a thread on Vegas Forum website. I cannot seem to find it again. Had customary stuff, turn this off, try that, etc. etc. etc. I tried some of the itmes:

1. Turned dynamic ram preview to 0 MB – NO HELP
2. Closed Project Media & Explorer Panes – NO HELP
3.… Read more

Okay, I have a decent machine. There’s another post on here about my setup. It’s no slouch. I ran every update with Vegas for the most part, the last being Vegas Pro 17 and now I’m running 18.

I am elated to see how much better the timeline playback is in 18. However, I’m about to cry. It crashes CONSTANTLY. I can barely use the software. I… Read more
