I'm desperate with Vegas Pro!

j-v wrote on 2/6/2019, 9:18 AM

Also, it is impossible for my PC to fail because I have a very good computer (8GB of RAM, i5 of the best generations ...)

Is that a fact or do you think it is?
To give possible help for maybe get you out your desperation is impossible untill you publish here your details. as stated in te following link under B and C: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/important-information-required-to-help-you--110457/

Yes, you are right, I should have read that post before writing anything.

So the Vegas is the Version 16.0 (Build 361) and my Pc has Windows 7 Pro version 6.1 (Compilation 7601: Service Pack 1. I'm trying to edit videos so I can upload them on Youtube.

I have an Intelcore i5-7400 Hz, 8GB of ram, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB and my system is about 64 bits.

Sorry for my english (I'm from Barcelona, Spain), and thank you beforehand!

Yess thank you and now only the most important one, the MediaInfo of your sourcefiles you use in that projecttype you published.

Just by using an Eminem GIF of 3 seconds (more or less) it already slows the program down. Even if I don't have any media opened inside the program (a clean project) it doesn't run well. By the way, here is the media info of the Eminem Gif:

Format : GIF
Format/Info : Graphics Interchange Format
File size : 4.15 MiB

Image
Format : GIF
Format/Info : Graphics Interchange Format
Format profile : 89a
Width : 480 pixels
Height : 354 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 4:3
Compression mode : Lossless

Here's more info on a png text I also used when my program ran well:

Format : PNG
Format/Info : Portable Network Graphic
File size : 164 KiB

Image
Format : PNG
Format/Info : Portable Network Graphic
Format_Compression : LZ77
Width : 1 920 pixels
Height : 1 080 pixels
Bit depth : 32 bits
Compression mode : Lossless
Stream size : 164 KiB (100%)

By the way, I don't think there's any problem with the media I used because when I started using the program, everything ran well.

Thank you beforehand!

Sorry, nothing I could find could be in my opinion the reason for your problem.

What is different when I play my Gifs is the filesize of the gifs and my Videocard is listed for hardware accelleration, but I think that both have nearly influence on your problem.

I have two thoughts to contribute to this discussion:

1. I've run into issues with many versions of Vegas shutting down on me the moment I try to use media that I later learned is somehow corrupt. The corruption might not be bad enough keep a media player from working, but it might be bad enough that Vegas can't handle it. I work in a TV news environment that uses Vegas exclusively for editing. Given the hundreds of terabytes of media data I've seen in my days, the problem I described happens quite rarely -- but it does happen.

2. I've also seen the same performance issue you're having when an editor doesn't realize he/she shouldn't try to work with media clips across a network or doesn't realize he/she is working with media across a network. Unless you have a light-pipe directly connected to remote media, be sure all your source media is local to your workstation -- and by "local" I don't mean a USB connection!

All I can think of when I read this is perhaps you have a virus or something. If the software was working fine for five days and then all of the sudden, it slowed, that would make me wonder, especially if as you say there is nothing wrong with the hardware and so far, nothing seems out of the ordinary with anything else. You'd think if it was some kind of hardware/software problem it would have manifested immediately or within a day or two. Just my gut level thoughts. I'm curious too, if you download a free program like Da Vinci Resolve, do you experience the same issues?

David-Gmez wrote on 2/9/2019, 10:26 AM

I just downloaded Da Vinci Resolve and it can't open because there's an error called "No DaVinci Resolve panels found", but I have to say that every other program runs perfectly. Only the Vegas pro doesn't run well. On the other hand, I don't think I have any virus on my pc because I just checked it with my antivirus (avast premier) and it doesn't seem to have any problem.

@David-Gmez being how you have made a lot of changes to the program to solve your issues, I would suggest performing a full reset on Vegas Pro, while holding down the 'Ctrl+Shift' keys, double left click on the desktop shortcut. Check the box 'Delete all cached application data', then left click on 'Yes'. This will reset the Vegas Pro settings back to the default installation (like it was during the first few days when it was running fine).

Then start a new project and using source media other than the .gif, does it now work normal? If so, add the gif and see if this changes how it runs. Just my thoughts of trying to run down the problem.

David-Gmez wrote on 2/9/2019, 12:21 PM

Thank you Eagle six, I just tried it but still doesn't work. I've made everything, from reinstalling it, testing a lot of other things... I'm desperate!

Eagle Six wrote on 2/9/2019, 12:40 PM

@David-Gmez did you download the free Resolve 15.2.3 version or the studio version? I've downloaded, installed and used Resolve since version 12, so that is a lot of updates and upgrades and it has never choked on not finding panels. So now you have 2 programs, both NLE's that your system doesn't like. Maybe a clean OS install will fix things up.

Trensharo wrote on 2/10/2019, 2:44 AM

An i5 with 8GB RAM is really low end for Resolve. i5-7400 is 7th gen (2017). We're at 9th gen right now...

And it could be a configuration issue in Resolve settings. I doubt a full OS install will fix anything, and that's a pretty extreme thing to recommend so nonchalantly .

He definitely should upgrade to Windows 10. Better performance and I'm pretty sure drivers for Windows 7 aren't a priority for component vendors, at this point, except for enterprise/workstation components.

David-Gmez wrote on 2/10/2019, 9:29 AM

If there's no other way to solve this problem I'm gonna have to upgrade it to windows 10...

matthias-krutz wrote on 2/10/2019, 9:50 AM

When I look at the preferences, I see that no GPU is selected for display acceleration. The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB is therefore not used for display acceleration. And the Dynamic RAM Preview is set to 0. This should only be done if there are problems with it.
These two settings should be corrected first.

David-Gmez wrote on 2/20/2019, 9:38 AM

Sorry for not answering before, but I couldn't due to some problems I had so I didn't have time.

So I tried to upgrade my windows 7 to windows 10, because I had problems with some other programs which, once I have upgraded to W10, do not have anymore, so I thought it would happen the same with the Vegas. But I have just tried and still doesn't work. It happens the same as when I ran Windows 7.

David-Gmez wrote on 2/20/2019, 9:46 AM

I have changed what @matthias-krutz just told me and I still have problems. Dynamic ram is now set to 200 and the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB is used for display acceleration. I don't know what else to do...
