RE: Preview Window Lag during 2160p 60fps

60p doesn't give additional detail but it changes the nature of how motion is perceived. It makes things smoother (can be an almost hyper-real video look). Traditional film is 24p which is relatively choppy but also abstracted from reality a bit

RE: Preview Window Lag during 2160p 60fps

I have exactly the same system. Send me a link to a file and I can test directly. In general GoPro decoding is far better on 18 than 15. Still, 4K60p is challenging. Do you export at 60p or use it for slow motion on a 30p or 24p timeline? You can

RE: Vegas Pro 18 build 527 not fully using GPU

Thanks for all your comments, please don't think I'm criticising Vegas 18, I love Vegas, always have. My post was just to question why Vegas rendered my GoPro clip slower than other editors on the same machine. I have a mixed bag of answers from

RE: Vegas Pro 18 build 527 not fully using GPU

@Former user so I pay a huge amount of money for a Xeon CPU (which might fit straight into my machine or might not) and then should enable me to render an 11-minute GoPro clip in approx half the time that I can at the moment using Vegas 18 while at

Yeah, I know, but focussing on my hobbies helps me through it. Indeed. Only way to go. I don’t have a use case for a GoPro, but i’d go for the Black if I had, my buddy is thinking of moving up to something like that, as you say, the stabilisation

@JN- I'm going to do another render with Vegas again, just to check the render time again. Your Vegas settings are pretty much the same as mine, I just have my Max bps to 60000. Still not sure why you aree getting a faster time than me. Yes, the

Very interesting. It's maxing out encode at 99% consistently and has 40%+ decode and 47% 3D. Looks really optimized. It's not the hardware it's the approach to GPU utilization and software architecture that makes a difference.Have you done a test

Upgraded from v13, now Vegas 18 isn't working as well

I just upgraded from v13 because my Project would not render past 19% and kept getting stuck. Now v18 will not open the v13 project (same or similar freeze on percentage open) and a new project with same media will not complete import. The video

RE: What Type of Performance Can I Expect From My Computer?

Most of the videos I currently edit come from either a Sony camera, GoPros or smartphones. That is central to your question, and not your hardware, which is fine. But it's fun to talk about hardware, isn't it? Your gopro and vfr smartphone footage

What Type of Performance Can I Expect From My Computer?

I've been needing to ask the following questions for some time but I didn't want to blow it by putting too much into a single post and missing my chance to get some input. Several months ago I put together a new PC for video editing. I use Vegas Pro
