Hey everyone, i'm using vegas pro 13 and a I recently started recording video in 2560x1440. The problem is now everything I do in vegas is slightly delayed as the program can't seem to handle the higher quality video.
I'm open to suggestions for what I can upgrade but my computer is pretty new:
i7-6700k processor
32 GB DDR 4 RAM
GTX 1080.
Samsung 850 EVO 1TB
Any help is appreciated thanks!
That is a very capable setup. It's probably just sony vegas pro13 inability to use your gpu for processing. Try vegas pro 15 trial version,
Also there could be a common playback fault with certain 1440p codec/formats that cause a problem with vegas13. Others will know
It's crucial here to know the format of the video. A sample would be great, but at least please share MediaInfo & Vegas file properties.
The problem occurs when I have a bunch of a video clips on the timeline spliced up. Not just one clip and all of a sudden Vegas becomes slow so if I gave you guys one clip it probably would run just fine. I also tried Sony vegas 15 and I still get the same problem.

I would try re-wrapping (with a tool like FFmpeg) these files as there are some issues in the header. It's variable frame rate (should be fixed frame rate for video editing) and it's SD color primaries, transfer characteristics and matrix coefficients where it should be HD.

Was vegas ever able to process and output at variable frame rates?
I have some videos on YT that were captured at variable frame rate of 26.7fps & they also play at a variable frame rate of 26.7fps from Youtube. This is back in 2015 when uploaded, but I thought I was using vegas. Is that impossible? I did just test with vegas 15 & was not able to get a variable frame rate output
No, Vegas Pro does not output variable frame rates.

And the FFmpeg command instruction would be ?

At its simplest:
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -c:v copy -c:a copy out.mp4
