As you might have noticed, guys - I'm one of those generally happy with the stability and performance of Vegas Pro 11 and 12 (on both my systems in the listing). However - due to most my project being multi-cam music videos, very demanding from the sync point of view - I've always been struggling to get MC track playback as fast as only possible. Here are my findings:
- with multi-camera view on the Preview Monitor and the currently active take full screen on the secondary (Windows) monitor, the RAM Preview Buffer size must be set to zero for framerates sufficient for precise cutting
- the Memory Vegas needs in the Internal Preferences only defaults to 1024 MB for x64 Vegas version; I went all the way and increased that to 16384 MB - and voila! - the playback framerate of my 11-camera track is now the full 25 fps ! This is with V12 proxies, and @Preview/Half - but still, a nice progress... Interestingly, the total RAM consumed by Vegas as per the Task Manager increased only slightly, so the 16 GB is probably an overkill - but looks like the1024 MB is definitely not enough.
Try that for yourself, and comment, please :)
