RE: VEGAS 22 RENDERING ERROR

I just installed the new Vegas 22 and I'm having trouble rendering projects over 1GB. VEGAS simply stops rendering at around 70% rendering and simply closes automatically. I have UNINSTALLED everything and INSTALLED it again, I have enabled and

RE: New AMD RX 7600 XT not fully recognized by VP 20.411

What I think that some people question is, when my past GPU would be used close to 100% and my new GPU isn't even close, why. My old RX480 would be extensively used in rendering, sometimes at 100%, yet, the more recent RX 6700XT rarely approaches

RE: Vegas Pro 21 Crashes

Can you share MediaInfo for the main media you use? What model is your GPU exactly? What build of VP 21 are you using? The latest 315) or the last one before major changes (208). Depending on the media and hardware you may have better luck with 315

I upgraded from 22 to 23 last month and am having a very frequent issue with Vegas hanging up when I pause or hit stop until Windows says it needs to close the program. I know when it's about to happen because the preview will start endlessly

RE: Preview and Rendering Speeds Now Bad

I believe upgrading to 314 "unselected" your graphics card under the GPU Acceleration of Video Processing option. This happened to me when I installed it. Under the menu option "Preferences" select the "Video" tab and make sure you have your

RE: The Color Grading window is lagging

I have a smaller processor and what makes sense, since I can't work smoothly and CGP version 22 is a joke from manufacturers. You pay money for something that doesn't work under normal conditions, I'd demand a refund and go to the competition. In

RE: Vegas Pro 21 Crashes

When upgrading RAM, did you remove the existing RAM card and replace it with 2 new identical 8GB RAM cards or did you just add a new 8GB RAM card to augment the existing 8GB RAM card? If the latter, do the specs of the new RAM card match the specs

RE: What is the fastest operating system to run Vegas Pro 19

@Reyfox Yeah, that's the big mistake many users make. They upgrade Windows OS, but not their system hardware. You cannot upgrade Windows on the very same old hardware and expect to see big changes and improvements.
