Preview playback is abysmal. I cannot even do something as simple as crossfade two clips, even in draft auto mode. Forget any other effects.
My specs:
Intel DH67CL Motherboard
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz processor
Win 10
32Gb RAM
SSD on OS, several SSDs/WD Black HDDs.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti
3440x1440 display, 32 bits per pixel
I went to turn on GPU acceleration, because as per the system requirements page, under "Supported GPU":
"NVIDIA
1 GB recommended for 4K — required for Smart Zoom/Smart Scale/Smart adaptive deinterlacing, and GPU-accelerated video processing.
For hardware rendering (NVEnc):
GeForce 600 series onwards (6xx, 7xx, 9xx, 10xx)
Quadro Kxxx, Mxxx and Pxxx"
My graphics card is not listed. I have to turn on legacy support. Am I missing something? Doesn't my card fall under the recommended specs?
It doesn't matter anyway. Turning it on doesn't help matters either. I can capture a video of the video not rendering in Snagit, which in itself suggests it's not a problem with my machine.
Vegas Pro 14 handles this in Best (Full) without breaking a sweat (with my GPU selected as the preview device).
I'm using the latest NVIDIA graphics driver.
FWIW, crossfade looks fine when I render to a file.
I considered making a ticket for this, but what's the point?
I mean, tagging subclips is still broken. This has been an ongoing issue since Vegas 13 (maybe earlier?). I wrote a ticket for this, because this is a new program, right?
Response:
"This is a known issue which will be resolved in a future application update. Thank you for reporting this issue."
My question is WHEN? All of my footage comes from GoPro cameras, renaming clips is not going to happen. I need to be able to subdivide what are sometimes lengthier clips into manageable chunks and I feel that tagging was made for this.
Tagging aside though, previewing a crossfade is about as simple as it should get. I cannot use this product. Which is a shame, because I already paid for it. :(
