I have the full version of Vegas at home, Vegas 8, and we bought VMS 10 for a simple project workstation at work.
The workstation at work is a 3.0G Dual XEON machine, XP, with a Quadro FX4000 video card. Granted, it's a few years old, but should still be pretty potent.
The machine at home is less powered, with a middle of the road everything. It plays back AVCHD files from a Panasonic camera in preview very smoothly in Vegas.
On the machine at work in VMS 10, even with the lowest draft resolution selected, and with the optimize for preview ticked, I barely get a few frames per second of very blocky video playback from the same files. I've tried matching project settings to media, and all of the normal things I would do in Vegas Pro to optimize the situation, but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas on improved performance, or is the VMS engine that much different from Pro? Is there something that you guys have generally found in machine configurations that can cause this?
I am blown away by the value per dollar of the software, but this problem has me stumped.
