Vegas + Boris UltraZap just sharing

Hi, just thought I'd share this, I'm not ranting or moaning 👍😊

playing with Boris's S_UltraZap, using the in built mocha tracking, 3 circular mocha splines around the blade of the saw that the 'zap' follows, with one mask also using the in built mocha to isolate/mask the zap to the blade,

playback is really bad, 0-1fps-ish, dynamic ram preview took so long i thought Vegas had stopped, prerender looked & took the same amount of time, so decided to just render it out,

The 0.40sec clip is estimated at 40mins n looks like this, CPU @ 10% & GPU avg roughly 10% also

Boris works best with Adobe. Adobe offers the most comprehensive variety of plug-in apis and powerful plug-in API performance.

If you need to make VFX and use plug-ins like Boris, Red Giant, Video Copilot, etc, Then Adobe is definitely your first choice.

Vegas's plugin API performance was very poor when using Boris' Particle Emitter 3D, Particle Array 3D, 3D Deformer Warp, 3D Extrusion, UltraZap, etc. Why did Boris insist on being compatible with Vegas when performance was so low? That's only because Boris has always had an official partnership with Magix/Vegas.

@lan-mLMC using Continuum Complete 2022 Particle Illusion, I get very decent frame rates with timeline playback. The same with Zap.
