I edit videos for my little brother, because he has a youtube channel, and he thinks that I'm an amazing editor. But I have a problem with the program.
It's hard to explain, so I have a tiny video for you to sum everything up.
The program I used in the video is Sony Vegas Pro 11, but the problem is even on Vegas Pro 13.
also both the programs are slow in general (importing videos, playing videos)
Please help me fix this problem. I don't want to get a entirely different editing program, I like this one.
What is the problem? Your clip does little to clarify what we're supposed to see.
I see your problem. The video is lagging.
Please try all solutions that I have listed below
You are stressing your timeline preview with all that activity.
You haven't posted your system specs, but there are very few i would expect to keep up with you in realtime.
Breathe.
Musicvid, I have tried all of these solutions, but none of them worked.
I know my computer is powerful enough for Sony Vegas, even my slower laptop with a dual core could handle it!
If you guys need my system specs, here they are:
AMD A10 6700 Quad Core
Nvidia GT 640 (Zotac Mini GTX 1050 soon or RX 460)
1TB HDD
8GB DDR3
Also, I tried LITERALLY EVERYTHING to get this problem to go away. I set the preview quality to Draft - Quarter, and I even lowered the frame rate from 30fps to 15fps. Nothing has fixed this problem yet.

Did you try the Ctrl+B method as I stated above?

Depending on your source footage, your system specs are rather low. Maybe comparable to an Intel Q6600.
Let us know your source media information, use MediaInfo to find it and post it here.
It looks like your footage was captured as variable frame rate, or the Group of Pictures is set so extreme that your system is struggling to build the individual frames. The ..... after the frame counter is Vegas wait on your systems calculation speed to return the results. So your hardware is not as good as you think it is.
Plus your project settings are Interlaced, but your footage looks like it was computer screen capture. So you may have a miss match there too.
I would try converting some of your footage to Cineform.AVI and see if your system edits smoother. You would need to make sure your source footage is matching the project settings before converting. XDCAM-EX.mxf would be an alternative format to try as well, as it has a lower overhead than h.264.
Sasuke, I tried the Ctrl-B method, and it didn't work.
