Hey all just trying out Sony Vegas 15 on trial, was using camtasia but found it had too many limitations. I wanted to know a few things

1. I have a 128 SSD Drive and a 1TB 5400 Disc drive in my laptop, what is the best way to install it, render folder etc

2. this is my system below this handle it?

Display :: MSI GS63VR Stealth Pro, 15.6" Full HD 1920x1080, eDP IPS Level

Processor :: Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ Mobile Processor (4x 2.8GHz/6MB L3 Cache) [GS63]

Memory :: 16GB [8GB x 2] 2400MHz DDR4 SO-DIMM Laptop Memory - Major Brand

Video Card :: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 - VR Ready [GS63]

M.2 Solid State Drive :: 120GB M.2 SATA SSD - Single Drive

Primary Hard Drive :: 1 TB 5400rpm Super Slim Laptop Hard Drive - Single Drive

Media Card Reader / Writer :: Built-in SD Memory Card Reader/Writer [Laptop]

Sound Card :: HD Audio with Dynaudio system

Network Card :: Killer E2500 Gaming Network

3. Is there any optimal settings I should always have enabled.

 

Today I was going through the tutorials, interface etc.. seems pretty good. Then I imported an Iphone video that came in as potrait on sony vegas (even though it was not shot that way and it does not come in portrait on other video editors)

I tried following some tutorials online using the video fx pan feature to change the file to 1920 by 1080 and also to rotate the video to landscape, well this was a nightmare system kept on freezing up by system i mean the program turning white screen and crashing etc.

Tonight I went into camtasia and rendered the same video out at 1920 by 1080 an then put it in Sony, it now works just fine, the video fx pan etc all work with no problems etc but if i put that original iphone file in it really kills the program. suggestions on this or how you guys alter it?

 

Thanks sorry so many questions I am a newbie to video editing and a real newbie to sony vegas

iPhone video is problematic on Windows editors.

See FAQ #20 or use Handbrake to convert to mp4 with constant frame rate.
