AI Smart Mask 2.0 going VERY slow

Hello there,

I know there are many of topics about it on the forum, yet still no answers for me. So once again...

Recently bought Vegas Pro 23, for trying out the AI features (used Vegas 20 before). Using AI Smart Mask 2.0, hitting Complete Masking, and it's unbelieveably slow! Like few seconds clip can took like 40 minutes to process.

Even weirder, first few tryouts of masking took MUCH faster, like 1 or 2 minutes and then it's getting slower. No idea why (there isn't any fast trial version, right?).

Tried masking both using GPU and CPU, same slow results.

CPU - 11th Gen Intel Core i9- 11900K
GPU - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

I’m experiencing the exact same issue. On Vegas Pro 22 this problem didn’t exist.
It’s really disappointing to see that MAGIX still struggles to make Vegas use modern GPUs intelligently. Because of that, many users end up moving to competitors.
No matter how powerful your hardware is, Vegas Pro always makes it look weak when using AI-based features like Smart Mask.
