Thanks john,

I have an AMD system too with 8 cores running at 4.0 ghz and still have the same basic dilemma (not sure if that is an AMD vs Intel thing as well). I get the sharing, just don’t know if upgrading is going to help…what is your thought?

I will obviously go with the disable resampling to help, do you have a time when you do NOT recommend turning that off? I have read a ton of stuff on here and other places and it goes back and forth.

Also, at this point my workflow is to record shoots live with the ATEM and convert them (AVmux?) to a Vegas likable format in 29.97fps. I will then add the camera footage (1060p 60fps) and edit from there. I will set my project parameters to 1080p at 29.97 and disable resampling. Any other thoughts (minus the other multicam stuff I will look at) to get the best preview possible?

Thanks again, really appreciate this!!

Thanks John…

I have just started to disable resample on the 60p clips. That does seem to help a bit with preview.
So my main question is WHY is preview still so CPU heavy when we are utilizing GPU preview? This doesn’t seem to be logical (at least in my mind) as I have been chasing this end of the rainbow since SVP11!!!

With all this said, should I not bother updating my GPU?

Again, I really appreciate the help….Also, how useful is multicam editing in SVP vs the way I am handling it? My concern is from what I remember when SVP introduced this, is that once they are lined up, if there is a sync issue, on can be out of luck, and also that I can’t see all the video at one time…but I may be mistaken.

Again and as always I appreciate your help and input!!

Thanks again Norman!

I would ask how your GPU handles each file playback during transitions across event lanes. Seeing if it can stay at full FPS and Best – full and so forth (seeing what it can playback). That would help me to decide if I should upgrade or not.

Again, greatly appreciate it!!

Be aware of issues with the Nvidia Kepler cards and SVP….. Just a heads up…

Thanks Norman!

The ATEM stream is janky as it is missing some headers for SVP to read it properly. John R. has helped me with that, one reason I converted it to the m2ts format.

Which file was 1088? Hopefully NOT the MP4 from the cameras.

Also, I have no option when using multiple cameras, I HAVE to have them on multiple tracks, I need to see what each has when choosing what to use. That is unless you have another way of doing it.

What GPU card are you using and what are your result per file?

Thanks again so much!!

Hey Guys,

Here is a link to download two file types from my Canon Cameras as well as the MP4 created by a Blackmagic ATEM TVS and a converted m2ts format (from the ATEM file) type that I use as well. The last two are based on some of you and a discussion we had about the files the ATEM creates and issues with Vegas.

They are smaller/short files. Again, my issue is when I do transitions from one lane/track to another (using envelopes)or other transitions, I get frames dropped. It is a real pain to not have these clear as to watch for camera movement, etc.

My last big project was a 2+ hr play that I shot with 3 cameras and created an MP4 with the ATEM switcher of all the live shoot. I also capture from each individual camera and have a total of 4 video tracks (camera L, C, R, and the ATEM stream). The ATEM stream was converted the same way as the above m2ts file. I line up all the files in Vegas and do some fine tuning from the converted ATEM file and would use the original camera footage when a bad crossfade or when the wrong camera was up. So over the 2hr video I may have had 100 or so crossfades (via envelopes) from the main ATEM to the original camera files.
As I was editing, again, when I go from one event track to another I lose fps…and can only use Preview Half or Full to stay around 29.97 FPS. My project was set to 29.97 since the ATEM stream was that and not the 60p of the MP4 files.

Hope this makes sense and thanks for all your help!!

Thanks John,

My initial post was for me to pick from two cards I already have. The 6870 and the GTX 460 (768 MB). The 6870 has better specs, but wasn’t sure if it always “plays nice” with Intel boards. I was just confirming that you recommend the 6870 since you said AMD is fine on Intel boards.

Apple ships AMD GPU’s on every Intel computer it has.

This confused me and I was asking if the 4000 and 4600 GPU’s were NOT Intel chips, since all the Macs I have use this. Vegas DOES see the 4000 chip on my Macbook in Bootcamp. It isn’t great, but it can use it.

Thanks again for all your input, I will go with the 6870, the CPU has an intel 4600 chip onboard, by the 6870 is much better than that one!!

Have a great day!

Thanks John, that could very well be what I was thinking…Again this would have been SVP 11 when GPU was just starting to be supported.

So, you would recommend the 6870 than I supposed?

Also, is the intel 4000 and 4600 GPU an AMD chip on my Mac mini and also my Macbook Pro?

Thanks again for your input!!!
