Nested Veg performance not as good

I am seeing choppy play back when playing scenes via nested veg. When I watch the source project I don't have the problem. Both projects are on the same WD 250gig internal drive. (All media is on the same drive). I have the same issue regardless of using external monitor or not. There are 8 tracks to the orginal project. Moving letters in the title are jumping rather than flowing smoothly. Some scene trnsitions jump instead of flow.

This is a known issue with composite .veg's -- Sony has already said they're working on it for a later release...

In the meantime you can set the nested veg file project properties to half resolution, preview quality, this will speed up things. When it's time to render you'll need to set the properties back to what they were.

Thanks I did set the properties to draft and that is the mode that I reported on.

Did you also scale the resolution lower ? (360*240) This will make a big difference. This is in the nested project, not in the master.

velocity curves and time stretched clips kill nested veg peformance. I Dont see why really but... they do.

Yes I set it to 360X240.
FYI - The title is over a background with a velocity envelope applied.

If you're really having troubles you could go ahead and render the sub veg. Just make sure to save the project path info in the rendered file. That way you'll get good performance and you can still go back to the original project.

This seems reasonable if the sub-veg projects are short. The time spent rending them shouldn't be so great. Rather than dropping the Veg file onto the timeline you can drop the rendered file in. Sounds like your back where you were at V5 but the ability to right-click the event and open up the parent project is still a step forward.
