Hello all,
YouTube content creator here and recently bought a new PC (i7 8700K @ 3.7 Ghz, Windows 10 64 bit, GTX 1080 GPU 16 gigs, Vegas installed on operating SSD/ Raw Video file stored on 2nd drive HDD). I've been using Sony Vegas 12 for the last 5 years and have been generally happy with it but decided to make the jump to 15 with the new PC. Rendering hangs 1/3 attempts but when it works the rendering speeds using the Magix Mp4 presets are lightning fast. That's the positive. On the flip side it might have been a massive mistake on my end because I get constant freezes when I try splitting files (doesn't happen all the time but at least 10-12 times per project), I get preview screen crashes/lag and basically just an unusable product. My work flow is recording MP4 facecam footage using OBS and then MP4 footage using El Gato which I then import into Vegas 15 to edit. Like I said this is a brand new PC so graphics drivers and such are all up to date but just having 0 luck getting Vegas 15 to play friendly.
I've tried ticking the Internal multicore rendering (I think that's what its called) to False instead of True and that has not helped. At this stage I'm genuinely desperate as I just need a stable editing program and considering going back to an early build like 12 as that didn't give me near the amount of problems I'm experiencing currently. Any guidance as to what I can try/do would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.
