Sony Vegas 9 64 bit

I've seen a lot of Sony bashing over the last week for v9 but I've found the 64 bit v9 to be much, much more stable than the 8.1 64 bit version which was pretty much unusable.

To be fair I am not a professional and don't use any plug ins but for me v9 64 bit has been a great upgrade.

The only major hassle is the "stutter" at the start of each clip playback - only lasts for approx 1 or 2 seconds but it is annoying. Happens whether in the media explorer, trimmer or timeline. I have a reasonably powerful PC with fast hard drives so I see no reason for a stutter. I note in earlier posts its suggested AVCHD is too compressed for PCs to play back smoothly - but Sony's PMB program manges smooth playback without issue.

So if Sony can fix the stutter then Vegas 9 would be perfect for me!

I'd have to agree with you -

I had that same stutter issue you're having and then it seemingly disappeared after about a week and I couldn't explain to you why.

I'd be completely happy if with the next update they address the inability to have video preview while capturing HDV in the 64bit version of Pro 9
