I like the new Color Match fx, but here is a caveat to be aware of. Performance really degrades with multiple color matched events on a single track. Move each color matched event to their own track and performance is not impacted.
To demonstrate, I did this:
1. Placed a 15 minute AVCHD clip from my HMC150 as the only clip on the timeline.
2. Split the clip into 15 events on the same track.
3. Applied color match to one event and copied/pasted the attributes to the remaining 14 events.
4. Adjusting the edge of an event would take 10-15 seconds for Vegas to respond, whereas before the color match it would be instaneous.
5. Duplicating the track required about 12 minutes for Vegas to respond.
I then repeated the experiment except I put each of the 15 events on their own track, and then applied the color match to each. Adjusting the edge of an event was near instaneous as was duplicating a track.
I discovered this because I edited a 23 minute video that had approximately 25 events on a single track. I then color matched all to a single frame and editing performance severely degraded.
My system specs here are current.
