I posted a detailed answer, with screenshots, in the other site.
https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/any-easy-way-to-speed-up-a-clip-10x-to-100x-i-e-more-than-4x–113924/#ca704117

Basically that feature doesn’t seem to work as it is supposed to.

[Peter Holt]

OK thanks.

I wasn’t sure which is the preferred forum for Vegas. In years past there was just C/Cow (well, along with many other video forums) and then there was some official move to the other one.

[Peter Holt]

OK; many thanks.

I will install the last exe install I have:

VEGAS_Pro_14.0.0.270_update_Retail_x64.exe

and see what happens.

BTW Vegasaur have confirmed I can use the same license (.lic file) on all my machines, which is really nice.

[Peter Holt]

Thanks – very interesting.

It speaks of v15 supporting 2 machines, and is v14 the same?

Normally only one installation will ever be running (there is only one of me) but I might be using the laptop for rendering, while editing on the desktop.

However all this implies that a floating license is being implemented, which requires internet access, and the laptop may not have that, especially when I am travelling.

I also need to check out the Vegasaur aspect.

I have had v14 for only a few days but it has not yet crashed.

In v13 I had to disable all GPU stuff everywhere because the program would immediately crash when rendering, but v14 seems ok with defaults i.e. GTX750 (Kalm X).

The last few times I have exited the program it did not leave a process running so the sequence involved is a bit more complicated.

I don’t seem to be able to edit my post, so here is an extra bit:

Which of these three options

2160 100mbps 30fps
2160 60mbps 30fps
1080 60mbps 60fps

would be best if I am outputting to 1080P 60fps 60mbps? What about if I am outputting to 25mbps?

I get the feeling that 4K must be wasted unless you have the mbps according to how many pixels there are, so 60mbps in 1080 means 240mbps in 4K and we don’t have that option.

I would forget them – they are different interfaces for using GPU acceleration – and just get the fastest modern 6-core processor.

GPU acceleration causes lots of problems and exposes lots of bugs.

[Peter Holt]

I had crashing on render and it was solved by disabling GPU acceleration, both globally under Preferences and in the render template settings.

With a fast modern CPU (I have an i7-970 6-core) the acceleration potentially delivered by using the graphics card GPU is minimal or zero, and not worth the hassle.

[Peter Holt]

That’s interesting… how do you reassign the original video track?

For example you have edited out lots of it so the timeline has gaps in it.

Is the workflow in Vegas 13 otherwise the same for 4K? I read somewhere that is uses a proxy for the media but maybe that is transparent.

[Peter Holt]

Like the OP I have a GTX750 (Kalm 2GB) because it was/is the fastest fanless (silent) video card around.

It supports CUDA.

MSP11 and MSP12 worked perfectly straight out of the box, winXP and win7-64.

Pro 13 crashes during rendering and this was fixed by disabling GPU acceleration globally (in preferences) and also in the render template. I still have issues with NewblueFX not allowing it to be disabled – see other threads…

So I have a Q: is there a *fanless* video card which is fast and which really speeds up Pro 13?

I mean really speeds up, say 5x. My CPU is a 6-core i7-970 which is close to the top end.
