RE: VEGAS PRO v FCPX: Anybody had experience?

not totally a disaster, but it does crash more often than 13... What makes it crash that didn't in 13? Nick, I cant really say what it is but simply working in it with a project that I had previously completed in SVP13 would crash it, well it's

RE: Vegas 14 incompatibility with pascal GPUs?

Sounds like poor display driver support of OpenCL with the 1050ti, or possible a hardware level issue with the way the 1050 GPU is interfacing the motherboard. This is early adopter type of crap you run into. An updated driver, or BIOS upgrade, or

Doubled render times in 14 compared to 11?

Hey all, Just upgraded Vague-us Pro 11 to Vague-us pro 14, and render times on the exact same projects, using exact same settings seemed slower. So I ran a whole mess of tests, and yes - 14 is way slower on the renders. A 5 minute project (project

RE: VEGAS PRO v FCPX: Anybody had experience?

Nothing is going to edit X-AVC S smoothly. SVP13 has no issue with editing a single stream on my system. The only drop in fps is during transitions. If I need to transcode my 4K footage to make it smooth for editing, I must well transcode XAVC-S to

RE: VEGAS PRO v FCPX: Anybody had experience?

The maim reason I haven't really jumped into it yet is hardware. To edit 4K natively you need aMacPro and those are expensive and not upgradeable like the previous generation. Not entirely true. You can edit 4K easily on a MacBook Pro laptop with

RE: Render Crashes Often

Personally, as I was getting stuck with older systems, I always downloaded the evaluation copy of Vegas (or Sony Vegas as it used to be called) to make sure I do not buy something my computer cannot handle. Because of that, I never upgraded to

RE: Smart Upscale

Sounds like you would need a newer card to do it. The only other option I can think of, if you are using a laptop or branded PC, is to see if there is an alternative driver from the manufacturer's website. To be frank, you're not missing much. This

(FAQ) How can I make my video preview play smoothly in VEGAS Pro?

Your preview playback frame rate is displayed below the preview and in some cases it may be less than your project frame rate, causing the picture to stutter or lag. There are a number of things you can try to improve the smoothness of your
