AMD, VEGAS 16 PRO, NVIDIA RTX2080 - PROBLEM

NickHope wrote on 9/16/2019, 2:24 AM

It seems as if this discussion was never quite resolved. Any new thoughts? I myself have been testing/editing with a machine I am now convinced was not the solutiion to my problem of constant crashing. A nice new HP Omen running i9-9900K with an RTX2080ti, 1GB SSD plus 2 TB HD, RAM to match, still crashes 5x a day with my material. (latest update of 1Vegas 6 BTW)

Now admittedly I have a mix of video shot at 1080p and at 4K, some of which was shot at high frame rates so as to make slo-mo more effective, but I thought Vegas 16 was supposed to be able to handle all this. Experimenting with GPU on or off, no help.

@thom-drewke I suggest you wait until the first update of VP17 is out, which I guess will be within a couple of weeks, then trial it. VP17 has new NVDEC decoding of AVC & HEVC. If you're using those formats, it should make your system fly, and may make it more stable. In the meantime, stability troubleshooting suggestions are here: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/faq-troubleshooting-crashing-and-stability--104785/

I still have Huge problems with vegas 16. Crashes very often, sometimes 10 times in 20 minutes as I do complicated projects in 4k. I don't know any worse program than this one ( stability ). You can slightly improve the performance by turning off the GPU, but the performance drops drastically in 4K. I also don't understand people giving such advice. You have a Ferrari, but you can drive max 50km/h because if you turn on the faster run it will break down.

@Salah
Which driverversion for your GTX2080 are you using?
Did you already tried out with a trial version of VP17, that is very much improved for using 4K stuff and mostly at this moment when your GPU is used for hardware accelleration in Preferences/Video and the decoder set on NVDEC in Preferences/"File I/O"

Have you posted us the specs of your new Intel PC? I understood that you do not use the AMD anymore?

What Driver do you use for your GPU?

What type of footage do you use?

Maybe you also give Vegas Pro 17 in the free trial Version a try? Can be installed side-by-side with your Vegas Pro 16. Even if I agree that VP16 should work too.

AND - please cool down with your language. We have clear community rules in this community, and you violate that again and again. Thank you.

My drivers are 436.15. I did not use VP17 because I have to pay € 349 for Upgrade: VEGAS Pro 16 Suite to 17 Suite. It seems too risky to me. I have no guarantee that it will be better. I'm thinking about a stable program. Buying a BlackMagic4k camera gets DaVinci Resolve for free. The only problem is that I have to learn everything from the begining. But I think I have to do it because I waste a lot of time working on unstable vegas.

I don't understand a little what's wrong with what I wrote? That I am not satisfied with this program?

You have nothing to pay and you're not upgrading by using the free trial of a program that your way of working will support much.
You can use a trial for 30 days with a limited rendertime of 2 minutes.
Before complaining here the way @Wolfgang S. pointed out, go learning a program and its possibilities.
Better for this program is not to use the Nvidia game driver but in the Studio driver nr. 431.86

See the community rules that state that we do not accept to blow off steam again and again. To complain again and again will not solve anything in a user community. And that is something that I state as moderator.

There have been more questions and that should be answered, what would allow us to go into more details.

The trial of Vegas Pro 17 is free, there is no risk by testing that.

You refuse to answer any questions people ask you in order to try to help you, and you've been doing it for almost a year now, then you get mad that nobody is able to help you and you cannot find a solution to your problems. There is a tutorial stickied to the top of the forums that tells you exactly what we need from you in order to be able to diagnose your problem.

You can find that tutorial by clicking here: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/important-information-required-to-help-you--110457/

Until you have provided us with that information, we cannot help you.
