Slow performance Vegas 15

Hi guys,

I have been working with Vegas 15 for a week now and although it looks pretty cool I have been experiencing quite a lot of irritating problems with it. First of all it stopped responding constantly so I often had to kill the process in the task manager after less than a minute of working sometimes. I found out myself that this could be solved by increasing the dynamic RAM preview setting to 4096 and disabling GPU acceleration.

However, all windows that popup, like FX or other windows I need to open constantly during normal editing work takes a few seconds every time, making working with this version not really possible, because every step takes way more time than Vegas 14.

Do you guys have this same experience or could anyone maybe let me know what I can do to improve that performance?

I have a very fast Ryzen 1700 with 32 Gb of RAM but it sure looks I will be better off if I continue working in Vegas 14...

Marcel

Yep, the UI currently has a problem where there is lag/slowdown that compounds with every action you make. Really hope the upcoming update fixes it because it makes the software nearly pointless over its previous versions.

Same here on a AMD Phenom II 955 with AMD Radeon HD 7870.

Vegas randomly stops responding. FX and crop windows need some seconds to open. You can see this problems in the videos of some youtubers too.

Additionaly I miss the GPU accelaration at rendering process!

With Vegas 14 I didn't have all these lags!

If your media is AVC (H.264) then this is always worth trying if you don't need the new benefits of that encoder.

I’ve been pulling my hair out too. I upgraded from 12 pro which was really stable. Is there an easy way to go down to 14 for the time being. I’ve also get a project that’s taken be 2 days to do on the time line - an initial cut- the only way I thinks big is to render out the timeline and drop it in to Vegas 14.

With the latest update it looks a lot better fortunately, they finally seem to have fixed this enormous bug that has been in vegas 15 since the beginning....
