When I’m opening the .veg files (unrendered) to combine them in the new project, the video effects I used in the original project are disabled. Clips with effects appears black…

But maybe I don’t understand well the Nesting concept or how to render without quality loss.

I hope I’m explaining myself right : english is not my first language…

Thanks!

Thanks for the specs!

Of course I use AC power, but I though the power management was automatically off without the use of the battery? Does the power management is applied whenever?

Im thinking: Maybe I need to use compressed air to clean up the computer: it’s making more noise…

Anyway, I will buy soon a tower computer with a good cooling system. Probably an i7 or better if available.

Thanks Dave,

I delieve it’s also affecting the capacity of the software when I use MPEG-4 to play the video wile doing the film editing?

So is it better to transfert the MPEG-4 in MPEG-2 before in Sony Vegas?
Or use a video converter like Superc or AVS (or a best one)…

The video quality is still the same?

Thanks for the tips :

My source files are MP4 and my processor is running at 100%. I think it’s all about the project itself : a 35 minutes cut-up film with 3 layers :

layer 1 : 1 sequence per 1 second with effects,
layer 2: 1 sequence per 13 seconds streched at 33% with effects
layer 3 : 1 long sequence streched at 2 % with effetcs

I use NewblueFX for the grain and luminosity and contrast…

It’s very experimental stuff!

Thank you for your fast response!

Yes, the laptop is heating too fast, and the CPU is not fast enough. So I’ve rendered my project in HD 720, 30ips: estimated time : 24 hours.

I will buy a new computer in september. I have a budget of 2000$. Do you know what are the best tower computer specs to do video and music for this price?

Thanks a lot…
