Recorded a couple videos on new Panasonic camcorder). I ended up using 3840x2160 -29.97p/ HEVC Long GOP 150M 10 bit 4:2:0. Put it in VEG PRO 22 (WIN 11). Audio is great, but the video is like watching still frames that skip. Nothing smooth going. Tried different property settings, even as draft - same issues. not sure what to do now.
One approach is to create proxies which are lower resolution copies of the original video. To create a proxy, go to the Project Media window, R click on the video listed there and select 'Create Video Proxy'. Though I haven't created proxies for quite some time, I recall that Vegas Pro's timeline will use the proxies in Draft or Preview mode but the original video will be used in Good and Best preview modes. When rendering, the original video will be used, not the proxies.
Are the settings in preferences/ file io on their defaults? I would think the 4070 could decode this without too much trouble. This is an 8-bit project and no Fx are added, right?
Not all settings were in default. I had checked the two experimental items below the main ones. This video is a 10 bit 4:2:0 that I had stated in my original post, but so far just original video.
I did read in some other posts something about the HEVC (experimental) sometimes works better with it not checked. Well, I did try unchecking it and it does work better that way. Still not 100% smooth but that might be being a 10 bit video. In the properties there aren't any 4k 16:9 29.97 settings.
If you select the 'QFHD 24p (3840x2160, 23.976 fps)' template, you can manually change the frame rate field to 29.97 fps and thus create a custom template which can be saved for later use.
OK, I can try that. Thanks.
I'd highly recommend not using legacy AVC /experimental HEVC as VEGAS is rapidly improving performance with NVIDIA GPUs.
