V6.0b Kicking Butt

JJKizak wrote on 6/15/2005, 2:36 PM

Normally when I render a 30 to 40 minute project in V5 it would take 2.5 to 4.0 hrs. With V6 and a 34 minute project it took 65 minutes to render. Processor running 100% and 144 F. This thing is really kicking butt. I can't say for sure if it's 40% faster or 70% faster but it's fast, real fast. (I borrowed that line from Shane, that's how fast this thing is)

I'm still on 6.0a... 100mb is a big download for a dailer-upper. :)

V6b does solve most of the issues I was having with V6a....still the program is now much slower to load than V5, I hate the new media organizer thing, I don't need it/use it - and Vegas seems to spend most of its time opening it :(

So Scott,

Not trying to be a smartass here but........if you don't use the Media Manager why don't you disable it in Preferences? V6 will then load much faster.

You can even uninstall it. When I installed V6, I stopped the installation when it got to media manager. Disabling it (as already mentioned) should also do the trick, but you'll still have all that bloat on your hard drive.

This is probably a great feature, but very poorly implemented because it looks like they licensed a ton of generic code to do a few pounds of specific work. I'll bet there are a few 100 MBytes of excess baggage that get loaded onto your hard disk (and probably get loaded each time MM starts up) that are there for things that Vegas never uses.

All that said, some of the people that have huge stock libraries do seem to like the MM and are willing to put up with the apparently ridiculous load times. IMHO, if an application takes more than 10-15 seconds to load, the software engineers have not done their job very well (grumble, grumble). Hopefully they'll find a smarter solution in future releases.

For now, I think I'll just dissable MM (though I really like the idea of not having it on my system at all). I just don't like double clicking on V6 and then waiting a minute to launch. Weird, though; my home system takes over a minute, my system at work takes less than :30. The systems aren't THAT different, but ah well. I just don't use MM. But so far, I haven't found how to "dissable it." I went to View and unchecked there, but it looks like it still loads MM, but just doesn't display it. What's the process of "disabling" MM?
Thanks! (I'm secretly glad that I'm not the only one who doesn't like MM - or doesn't find it useful, anyway.)(Ok... not so "secretly," I suppose.)
