You’re doing everything right so I’m stumped as to why you’re having problems.
I know that Graham has the same graphics card that you do so hopefully he’ll jump back in and let you know what driver he’s currently using. -
Dumb question but are you using the “import still image sequence” that I described?
To answer your question, yes it is possible that your graphics card isn’t making a difference 🙁
Have you tried disabling it to see if that helps?
What driver version are you using? -
James, are you exporting a series of stills from Cinema 4D?
I usually get TGA files from the animators I work with.
As long as they’re sequentially numbered and in a single folder, the process is painless and timeline playback is smooth.
I only have an i3 at work so I usually have to drop it down to Preview/Auto to get 29.97 playback. -
How are you creating your image sequences?
I deal with animators who give me a long series of images as well as time lapse sequences from cameras such as the Go Pro.
Here’s how I do it.File > Import.
Browse to the folder these files are in and click on the first image in the sequence.
At the bottom of this window, click the Open still image sequence box.
Make sure the range is correct and click Open.
Set any desired options (such as alpha channel) in the box that comes up and click OK.
The sequence is converted to a file that can be dropped on your Vegas timeline. -
Vegas used to love PNGs but for some strange reason, Pro 12 changed this relationship for the worse 🙁
You’re not the only one as a lot of users on various forums have been complaining about this lately. -
If Jeff’s suggestion doesn’t work, try saving it with a new version number or project name.

Drop a marker (use the m key to do this) on your Vegas timeline at the desired start point.
Import the PowerDirector file and drop it on your timeline at this spot.
Delete the marker afterward if you want to by right-clicking on it and choosing Delete. -
None of those formats should give you any grief in Vegas.
What could be a problem with MOV and MP4 files is if you’re using the latest version of QuickTime as a few users have reported issues with it.
Find a slightly older version, uninstall the latest one, install the older one and try it again.
AVI files shouldn’t be a problem either unless they’re a strange one to Vegas.
What does MediaInfo say about them?

WMV is a distribution format, not an editing format.
What format are the source clips?
What version of Vegas are you running? -
Use the Preset Manager (it’s a free download from Sony), save your FX packages to the desired location, do your hard reset and then use Preset manager again to re-install them.
