hi everybody.

i really hope you can help me out because i dont know what to do anymore.
i installed sony vegas pro 15 trial version but he is really slow.
When i just play a video in sony vegas it is ok but when i use moving letters for example
or when a video is going to another video it stutters alot in the preview.

I got this computer since a few months and ive tried sony vegas a couple of months earlier with this computer
and everything was really fast.
Ive search on google and youtube and tried all different kind of things but nothing seems to work.
(reinstall video drivers, clear catch, reinstall sony vegas, change settings, delete other huge programms like gta5.

for example, when i play gta5 the game works perfect with all settings on very high.

i really hope you'l can help me out because i dont know it anymore

 

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
windows 10 64 bit
Intel core i7 quad core
16GB Ram
240 GB SSD (here is installed the sony vegas)
2240 GB HD

There is no Sony Vegas Pro 15. Do you have a Sony or Magix product?

A video editor impacts your system differently than a game, so the devil is in the details, which you haven't provided.

Follow the instructions on the previous page to post your relevant Vegas and MediaInfo properties for both your source and render, and explain in detail WHAT is slow (loading, preview, render, playback?), and we'll go from there.

Oh haha. Now i see it isnt sony anymore but magix. You are right, its de trial version of magix vegas 15.

Thank you for your response!

Its the preview and playback wat is becomming really slow.

Sorry but what do you mean with follow the instructions of the previous page? What page?

That depends on a number of things - - your source, your project and preview settings, timeline effects, for instance.

Don't plan on the preview acting like a player. There are prerender options for previewing complex stuff.

ok this is something you maybe need to know.
When i want to render a video i get this fault (see problem description under here) everytime.
with the old sony vegas pro 13 and now also with the magix vegas 15.
When i go to preference and change the "GPU acceleration of video processing" from "NVIDIA Corporation GeForce GTX 1050 Ti" to "none" i dont get any fault again and i can render.

the main problem is that if i'm trying to edit the preview window stutter (hope this is the correct word?:))
When for example i use moving fonts letters or when a clip is going to another clip the preview window stutter and the clip missing alot of frames.
its impossible to edit a video in this way

ok hope what i show you'll above is the correct way haha

mmm if it does not work and you still have problems, uninstall the vegas deeply, use the IObit Uninstaller, so uninstall the program including all the registers and others, then install it again and it will work.

ramon-debakker wrote on 11/12/2017, 11:23 AM

i uninstalled vegas a couple of times but after reinstall it i got the same problems.
Is there a different with that IObit Uninstaller that you talk about?
And when i do that, do i lost my .veg projects also?

We hebben ook een Nederlandstalig forum waar je gewoon in het Nederlands je vragen kunt stellen.
Zie voor internetadres mijn handtekening.

Haha. Ik helemaal moeilijk doen om engels proberen te typen, is er een nederlandse site. Ik heb mn vraag nu ook daar gesteld. Dank je wel!

no i dont. i know it isnt the same but its so bad that i even cant see how the video goes. i wrothe it here down under

Your system specs look respectable.

I would convert your source media from the WMV format, to something like XDCAM-EX.MXF, Cineform.AVI, AVC-intra.MXF. Then test your playback performance. WMV is not a good editing format. WMV was a great streaming and playback format, but its time has past.

When converting your material from WMV, watch for video level shifts. WMV is 0-255 and other edit formats expect 16-235 ranges.

 

If you are creating / capturing WMV, you may want to look at capturing to a more edit friendly format.

Thank you for your response.

But does this has anything to do with the review window in vegas that stutters?

Maybe i'm mixed things up. When i say that the playback is worse i mean the playback of the review window in vegas.

Sorry my fault then.

 

(Hate that my engish is that bad haha)

There are many things that can cause preview stutter, a few I mentioned above.

Cornico is starting in a good place. That is for the purpose of ruling things out one at a time, which is the only way I know.

MMM the uninstaller of which I speak, uninstalls completely including the registry files, junk files, etc. your projects possibly also, for that you have a backup of your projects. mmm your problem is similar to what happened to me once, do that or try to install another version.

Musicvid wrote on 11/12/2017, 6:36 PM

There is no need to uninstall Vegas if the program opens. Your posts sound like an advertisement.

The OP has a configuration / optimization problem, not an installation problem, and there are already thoroughly documented uninstall procedures in the Vegas literature "if and when needed."

Yes, I was experiencing a similar problem. I have a pretty high-spec computer (SSD drive, 16GB RAM, Intel I3) and I was just editing some audio events on the timeline (no graphics at all)... yet there would be a delay of about a second just to delete a selection or split a track or something.

Then I discovered that I had set the render option in the Video Preview window to "Good". That was the cause of all those little delays, it seemed. I switched it back to "Preview" and the lag in response time disappeared.

I also find that have a lot of media files loaded also slows down Vegas. It also seems to default to displaying ALL media files in the Explorer window. So I switch the view to one of the custom bins or something. Or just break up the project into smaller parts with fewer media files. (I don't like to do this, though, because it's more difficult to keep track of the attributes, or whether an event is a copy of another event or a reference to another event.)
