Auto DRAM rendering when editing

What do you think about it?

If someone has 64GB of ram, they could assign three-quarters of the capacity to this feature. Sometimes, when editing, I get stuck on a section and gradually fine-tune it. Constantly using shift + b shortcuts and waiting to be rendered is annoying.

My idea is to mark a section to be automatically rendered in DRAM. And I can work in peace and I don't have to keep playing this section all the time until it plays smoothly after the fifth play. In preview half, DRAM Shift + b is incredibly fast. Why not make it automatic and in the background?

Are you experimental and optional for this feature?

A bigger playback buffer would be great and it would be good if it's done in the background without user input. Add to the feature request thread? https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/vegas-pro-19-feature-requests--123432/?page=12#ca814442

I believe that most dissatisfied users will stop complaining why the video is not smooth.

This is definitely something we a looking at for the future, but first thing we need to do is fix up our prerender and dynamic RAM architecture which is not working properly at the moment.

I like your approach. You openly admit that something is not working in Vegas. This strategy is fair and users understand such a language.

Indeed , should have been fixed already as a priority , prior to screen capture and stock film additions and AI color black-and white old film 😉 . Am still using the sony's 12-13 versions here once and a while for quick simple editing work and works just great with 32 GB of DR ( out of 128 GB ) BUT with GPU=OFF .

Automatic DR rendering I did NOT like at all since it was taking HUGE background resources non-stop and in parts I was not at all previewing and editing and slowed down the part I needed to be fast . This gets even worse on a , for example , 2 hour long timeline .That was with fusion on my pretty powerfull HP Z840 ( see my profile ) and had to disable that automatic DR rendering . Am only interested in fast preview on that part I am editing actually .

Ideally, the DRAM should automatically render only the area where the playhead is. If we are editing something in the middle of an hour-long film, then we do not necessarily need to have the first half hour in DRAM and wait until it counts to the place we need.

Yes I agree. Ai generally has such poor results, especially in coloring, that this innovation is the last thing that interests users.

And to make it even more complicated, only places where gpu and cpu are not enough would be stored in DRAM. When the software detects that the playhead is approaching a point that the gpu will not tighten, it will start pre-saving.

If everything is saved automatically in DRAM, then we probably don't need gpu.

Don't know exactly how DRAM works in premiere and davinci?

When they would ever consider implementing automatic DR rendering in the future , there should certainly be a ON/OFF switch for that function meaning ON=automatically and OFF = manually ( user defined timeline region ) and stop limiting the DR settings to 32 GB when there is real workstations in the market for a pretty long time now which allow for 256 GB of RAM and more . ( when U call it "pro" , it should be " pro " 😉 )
