Lag time in Preview window

MK4AU wrote on 10/2/2017, 1:01 PM

Just upgraded to Vegas Pro 15. The lag time in the preview window is so slow it skips clips because it simply cannot keep up. It took about 8 hours to create a 90 second video because I couldn't watch in real time.

Windows 7 Professional, Intel Xeon 2.80 GHz quad core processor, 64-bit operating system, 64GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro P4000, 4 hard drives - 3 are 4 TB.

There is plenty of power and plenty of space to render. I have rebooted 3 times and no other programs are running.I have adjusted the preview down to quarter, half and full. Resample is turned off. Nothing changes or help the lag time.

PLEASE HELP.

It's not perfect but that helped. Thank you JoelsonForte. Anything else you know of that I can try?

Depending on your footage and render settings, your current system may just not be up to the task. Did you enable "GPU acceleration of video processing" under Preferences->Video?

OldSmoke: See computer specs above. Not the computer, but thanks for the suggestion. Yes, GPU acceleration is enabled.

As I mentioned, it depends on your footage.

How was your footage created?

Assuming you are finding VP15 to be more laggy than a previous version, which version was that?

1) What Media are you trying to Preview?

2) What are your Project Settings? Do a Screen Grab of the Project Settings Menu and post it here.

Go to Options / Preferences / Video. Leave the fields highlighted with these parameters and see if it helps.

Thank you all for your suggestions, some helped. I have emailed Support who offered similar suggestions. V. 11 had no lag time, v.13 slowed down, v.14 was worse, and now with a quad core with 64GB RAM, and high end display adapter, v.15 is even worse. It's disappointing. Thank you for trying. Perhaps Magix will soon make adjustments.

You still haven't told us which footage your are editing and if it is the same footage that shows different lag time from V11 to V15. From your last post, I also assume you changed hardware somewhere between the versions?

Same camera, 4K footage, though obviously not the same clips, for v.14 and 15 (and maybe v.13 but I've slept since then). I've been shooting over a year with this camera and do not recall when I upgraded to v.14. Yes, computer upgrade after v.13.

Does this camera have a brand and a model number?

Wolfgang S. wrote on 10/8/2017, 6:44 AM

So what kind of 4K footage???

With one (or two?) Xeon quadcore processors and 2.4 GHz only that may not be the best hardware for Vegas - sorry to say so. 2.4 GHz is a low figure.

That is rather on the low end for 4K editing. 8 cores are recommended for 4K.

Maybe so, but there is no lag time in Premiere Pro, and Vegas 15 is slower than 14.

You want suggestions? Invest in more appropriate hardware. Or use the proxy mode. Or stick to HD.

How many times do you want to be asked how your footage was created before you answer? This information is crucial in offering you appropriate suggestions.
