  Best AVI codec resembling Blackmagic or Cineform
  Hello- I used to use Blackmagic as an intermediate codec for quick rendering from Vegas. Before that I used Cineform, now GoPro. I can't find the Blackmagic codec anywhere online, nor a place to download the GoPro. Does anyone know a good,

  RE: Hey Magix! Add this to Vegas MX:
  I would be happy if the available Blackmagic and AJA cards would be supported better, instead of HD up to UHD 50p/60p if the card supports that. But the poor playback capabilities for UHD even with easy formats like Cineform or even XAVC are an

  RE: Hey Magix! Add this to Vegas MX:
  Sometimes I ask myself how many here have used Vegas on a modern 8-core system, equiped with actual more then one GPU but also videocards like Decklink or AJA. And I ask myself how many here are working with x-log files and 10 or 12 bit

  RE: Bye Sony, Hi Magix !
  I can tell you that Video Pro X has GPU support, as well as support for Blackmagic Cards. However, I have downloaded the trial of Video Pro X8, and the OpenFX integration is buggy to say the least. I could not get it to read my Red Giant, New Blue,

  RE: Vegas Pro 14 - The Future

  RE: Vegas Alternatives
  Resolve is a joke. On an older laptop it crashes without doing anything, on a new laptop with nvidia 970 playback is about 1frame per 5 seconds, no matter what, .avi, mp4, etc...... Even if you do get it to work there is a whole bunch of stuff in

  RE: Vegas Alternatives
  I do not think that people suggest Resolve to be used instead of Vegas. But it is a very great extension that can be used as a preparation tool to edit footage in Vegas. I test at the moment Resolve 12.5 beta 2, and so far it looks great. I do not

  Blackmagic sells pro hardware. The paid version of Resolve and Fusion offer the things big studios need, rather than most of us. The free version is an indoctrination to their products.

  RE: Getting ready for 4K editing...
  That is wrong - Vegas can use proxy files, but it is not a must! Do you want to edit 8 or 10bit footage? That will make a huge difference. With a powefull PC 8bit is no issue really. 10bit is more tricky. Vegas can be used to bring a 10bit UHD
