Hi two points causing me issue with a Vegas Pro 18 project atm if any kind soul can help me out:
1) I'm doing a big project. A 360 VR video at 8192x4096 render. It's almost 4 mins long and has maybe 20,000 frames in all (5,000 base background) and many smaller size masks and png overlays. It takes a while to load up (and I have a pretty hi-spec i9 32 Gb ram workstation), Once loaded and working in it tbf vegas handles it pretty well, however, should I go off screen, i.e. making something else the active screen, say open up window explorer or something, it seems to go to 'sleep', for want of a better term. So when I go back to it, it takes maybe a 30 secs to a minute to be active. It maybe it's a windows and ram issue and not vegas doing this, but I wondered if there was anything in the settings I could change to stop (or limit) this going to sleep mode ….as it can make working on it like running through treacle at times! Lots of waiting.
2) In the past, with big files, I have made the video in smaller sections and created the master from several 'lossless' submasters. However I'm struggling with the 8k resolution. A while back I was given wonderful advice on here about being able to render out at this resolution using Voukoder, that was so helpful for my youtube master, however Sony Vegas doesn't seem to want to read a Voukoder created mp4 if I try and put one in the time line (one high quality Voukoder file would be so much smaller in size than 5000 8K jpgs). It maybe I'm just being dumb and not aware of some basic settings but is it possible to put a Voukoder 8k render back into Vegas? Many thanks to anyone reading this far and more so, in advance, for any advice
