Are you using GPU? I ask because the Nvidia 10xx only runs modest acceleration, and you may want to try without acceleration of video processing.

Premiere runs background processing, which carries its own system impact.

 

The camera is a Sony A7iii using xavc-s 4k footage at 23.976 (3840-2160) .I am using the defaults Vegas has setup. Gpu is enabled, hardware decoding is enabled and checked with Intel QSV.

My rig is Intel I7 3930 3.20 @ 3.60, 32gbs ram, Nvidia gtx 1050ti card, Win 10 latest build, Vegas Post latest build. All drivers up to date.

Running task manager to see if any bottlenecks shows similar results to Premiere on the cpu at 30-45% and but the GPU is stuck at 15% where on Premiere it is about equal to 35% to the cpu in premiere. Ram runs 13% in Vegas.

I did disable GPU acceleration and it hit 100% on the cpu. Not good. Seems like it is anything motion graphic wise. Using the new blue titler 6 in both Premiere and Vegas, gets different results.Caching NB titler in Premiere works fine but not in Vegas 17 for me. Drops frames. If I disable the text track everything plays smooth. Again I am using proxies on this timeline.

Comparing CPU & GPU use between Premier and Vegas is just going to drive you insane.

They're completely different programs from very different companies with very different budgets and customer pools.

If you want to ask the question, "how can I squeeze the best performance out of VP using x, y, and z media types, on a and b hardware, people here can help.

But trying to get the same performance in VP as in Premier, and you might as well be tilting at windmills.

Thank you for that Michael, but these are just instances from what we work on every day to what I am getting with Vegas. Trust me. I have been around Vegas since sonic foundry and beta tested Vegas from the start in Madison ,Wisconsin. As an R&D tester everything is important to know. My question is basically why can I not get Vegas to perform as good or better on the same machine. I understand the guts behind both programs.With that said, yes they are different as they should be. But what is stopping this from smooth playback. Setting my view to the lowest and have to chug through a bad screen is not what a client wants to see. So? How is everyone getting their performance levels running say 4K footage into a proxie one one time line. And with new blue titler 6 animated or not text on another to play without dropping frames. Do you have to render the time line to view without dropping frames?

Sorry guys and gals but I have always loved Vegas from the day it was an audio app ( DAW) and was proud to be a beta tester. So I would love to be able to use it in front of my clients without any dropped frames or rendering involved which it seems to be the case still now. Looking for the holy grail please. ; ) Sorry for soapbox. Just miss Vegas.

I have never heard tilting at windmills!! LOL That is awesome.

make sure your preview monitor's quality setting is set to either preview or draft, otherwise it doesn't use the proxies.
