Dynamic Ram Preview settings in V16 B424

ram17 wrote on 7/18/2019, 11:00 PM

What's your optimum settings in your dynamic ram preview in the latest build of Vegas 16?

Just want to know if the latest build has the different approach with this setting. I don't want to just randomly insert numbers, I need to know your tested ones. So may I asked what you set in your system & its effect if there's any.

Thanks.

@ram17 - An excellent question!

@ram17 - I have no idea.

I don't want to just randomly insert numbers, I need to know your tested ones.

@ram17 - If I find I'm not getting enough for a BUILD, then I "up" the RAM. It's not random, but rather determined by how much of the Looped Region I'm focused on - at that time.

So may I asked what you set in your system & its effect if there's any.

@ram17 - Unless I'm using BUILD RAM Preview then I leave it at 200mb.

HTHs?

I usually leave mine to 4096 MB which is a quarter of available physical RAM.

You should test that on your specific System. Settings on other machines may not deliver the best preview performance on your system!

So take your footage, and test the system with different ram Settings - like 0, 16, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 MB. And check the preview speed with your footage in the preview quality that you tend to use, or maybe even better. Maybe with some additional fx if necessary.

After doing so you should have a nice feeling what are the best Settings for your system with your specific footage.

I keep to 200 during editing unless I need more for preview, and put it to 0 when rendering to be on the safe side, (especially when using plugins and nvidea gpu). You loose a bit of rendering speed when at 0 but not to much.

I normally set it to 512mb. Then to 0 when rendering.
