Render times: Vegas 7 versus earlier versions

Jay-Hancock wrote on 10/20/2006, 3:06 PM

It would be great if some of us would post render time comparisons between different versions of Vegas using either benchmark veg files or real-world files (obviously the project would need to be created in the earlier version, then migrated). And of course they would need to be rendered with the same hardware.

Anybody have some data to offer?

Here's what I've used since V6 came out. V5, V6 comparisons with HDV veg project.

Dave's Test Comparison

I've tested V7, just haven't updated the website yet. No big difference in total render time (with one exception). The big boost in V7 is in preview speed, which I didn't really benchmark until V7 came out, so I'll try to include that also in the update.

My veg is not a true benchmark, just the same one I used between versions that's relatively complex.

Edited: the only change to the machine since I last updated that page is that I added 1GB of ram for a total of 2GB.

Anyone care to share their quantatative data?
