Hello George!

I do have an HDD and a SSD.

Vegas is installed in the SSD. I usually store all the footage in my HDD, but whenever I have to edit a video, I have a folder in my C:\ directory called videos_to_edit (C:\ is a partition of the ssd) and I move the videos there, then I drag then into the Vegas Timeline.

I heard that is better to have one SSD for Vegas and another SSD for the media files, but I don’t have 2 SSDs. Anyways, here you have the screenshot! (I hope you can click it and zoom it too see everything). Thanks for helping

Hello Francois! Thank you for the fast reply ☺

Yes, definitly Vegas takes a lot of CPU. I set it to use the 12 logical processors I have and I even reach 90-100 % CPU when I’m doing stuff. I’m aware of this and I’m saving money for my future PC. This laptop I’m using is brand new, and that’s why I’m using it, it is way better than my desktop one, but eventually I’ll use my laptop just for programming and I’ll use a better PC for editing.

Anyways! This laptop is really strong (games run soooo good) and I really think I can find a way to make it work and deal with 10-30 min videos which don’t really have much “effects” or heavy things. The videos I usually do only have zooms, sfx and millions of cuts :’) . My goal is always make them as fast as possible. So that’s why I’m looking forward a better experience with Vegas, so I don’t get mad and quit everytime it goes slow.

Cheers 😀
