In the end I admit I was too quick to ignore your first suggestions Wayne. After some examinations and Nigel’s and your posts I tend to believe my problem concerns heating. I hope it is only sth like improper grease distribution. I will have may lap checked in service definitely because although it is working good so far, anything abnormal leads to future failure for sure.

I know gaming laptops are not the best solutions for editing. But my situation and lifestyle demands mobility and light weights. I live with as small amount of things as I can. I hate gadgets, I live fast and I don’t want objects around me to clutter my life, so my Qosmio is a perfect solution – very powerful and still reasonably small (hahaha, actually it is the biggest laptop I ever seen but it is always much more convenient then the smallest desktop) So as long as I edit short corpo videos and internet content up to 5′ long I will stick to it.

Dear Wayne, I am a kinda spartan and robust person (although definitely positive, smiled and optimistic), I love irony and you must have felt it. I am convinced now it was too much, and it wasn’t nice. I am aware I sometime should bite my tongue and I apologize too 🙂 Thank you and have a good day.

Thank you Nigel for such a rich, cross cutting through the problem analysis. It didn’t help me so far but gave me few clues and paths for further checking. So much obliged. Thanks!

please: don’t answer posts which you’re unable to comprehend.
i always do that and it keeps everybody happier and this place more useful. i am pretty sure people come here to get help or share some knowledge. if you don’t need the first and have none of the second just stay away. i need help and i kindly asked for it. if i wanted to discuss your abilities of understanding written text, i would have invited you for a cup of tea instead of writing here. eot with you, thank you. warm advice for future: read carefully.

Thanx for a quick response. I am pretty sure this is not a temperature involved issue. I ve put this unit on some stress tests and cpu is constantly running on a level of about 3,2 GHz without pulsations and breaks.
I suspect it may have something to do with CPU and GPU rendering but it is only a free assumption.
There are power performance settings in bios and I ve tried to switch it. Some bioses have there 3 options
always low
always high
dynamic change
I don’t have always high option. I switched it to always low for testing and truly CPU wouldn’t go beyond 0,7 GHz and that bios setting overrides power plan set by the system.
I assume if I had this option always high, it would solve the issue. I dont want to have always low, so I only have problematic dynamic change option. But maybe someone knows how to deal with it and maybe it is something different…

I AM PRETTY AWARE OF THAT, IT IS JUST I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT SCRIPTING. DO YOU KNOW A GOOD PLACE TO start?

sorry for caps and thanx steve

[Paul Beller]

THANK YOU GRAZIE. DOes that mean those particular controls are not available for modyfying usung scripting?

no offence but i don’t like things that replace my thinking processes. why the hell would i go back with anything to mid-january. i save a project, i have autosaves, i have backup copies. when i prepare new versions i make new projects. when i mistake, i go back to autosave and that is the answer to the original question – go to a folder i mentioned and look for autosaves.

by the way windows already has this time machine, it is called system restore or something like that. it makes a restoring points over time in a routine of my choice plus important system events. if i had it set to on i could actually go back to 2013 or any moment i started the system. but i am not using it. actually i prefer to strain my brain remembering to do things, so hopefully it would work more efficient when i am old 😀

what r u people talking about? bak is overwritten while saving the original. there is no way going back with the original file but…. 🙂
go to
C:\Users\USERNAME GOES HERE\AppData\Local\Sony\Vegas Pro\VERSION NUMBER GOES HERE

you will find there autosaves as well as restored projects – auto-made by sv after crash. there is no original name of the project but look for date modified and you are home.

saved me a lot of time many times

in internal preferences you can also set a time in miliseconds for SV to make an autosave.

i had both of them and i went back to 12 too. nothing interesting in 13 apart from black frames which 13 is dropping into render

if anything can be done faster, it should be done like that. i use vegas because it is the most flexible, most comfortable and most powerful all in one set i ve ever known. so vegas for audio and video, photoshop for stills and izotope plus sound forge for audio tweaking and repairing. i cannot think of a better solution than that set. and i am not using gpu for editing it is switched off because it is true that sony didn’t do a good job about cooperation with graphic cards. that is why vegas needs high end cards to run stable. so i set gpu to off. i have enough powerful cpu to fluently preview avchd even with color correction. but when i render, i always pick render with GPU because it really is faster, so why not?
