Hey guys,
Does anyone know if Vegas Pro, (I use Pro 17), has a max line count or project size? Anyone worked on projects longer than 310 lines? This would be counting the audio and video lines of the timeline project.
I ask because I could not locate this info doing a google search or searching this form. I have 155 VHS-C / 8mm tapes to import and edit. Is it WISE to put all of your eggs in one basket?
Thanks, as always, for your time. I look forward to your response(s)............ I think. :)
The limitation is in your system resources, not Vegas. RAM and virtual memory come into play here.
By importing tapes, I assume you mean capturing as DV-AVI? Those are fairly easy on your processor, but I would still work with a couple or three projects, maybe nesting in the master project.
"By importing tapes, I assume you mean capturing as DV-AVI?"
Yes. That is exactly what I am doing. I am just not using Vegas for this task. I am only using Vegas for the edit work. Your advise to break up the project is noted. I assume you recommend this to keep me from taxing my processor unnecessarily. I have noticed over the years Vegas being a bit crash happy for reasons unknown to the galaxy.
You said it best, on huge undertakings, I try to not put all of my eggs in one basket.
@crown2020, when I was doing wedding videos (using DV-AVI!), I would typically create 4 projects - Intro, Wedding, "in-between", Reception. I would then render those 4 to DV-AVI files and then create one final project consisting of those 4 DV-AVI files. The final render was extremely fast as it only had to render the 3 transitions.
