I am running the same CPU/GPU as you but perhaps in higher clock speed then you. Here is my first hand experience with Fuji XT3 10 bit 4K 50P footage. My system can run smooth in between 48-50 frames but in Draft (half) because Magix have not supports AMD decode in .h264h265. The good thing is I don't get crash or freeze with XT3 footage. At least I have not had it. Just bad scrubbing on the TL. Other then that, it is ok to work with.

Please, if possible, try drop to timeline more the 50 files (DCI 4K 10 bit) at same time... If I drop one or two files - ok, but when there are more than ten files on timeline and I try to drop more - crash, black screen and most often I have to restart the pc through the button, phisically. Maybe problem in Windows?

Constantine first of all upgrade to the latest version of Vegas.Unfortunately Vegas will not work with the xt3 h265 files.I found a way to edit the files but as soon as u try to put fx on them it crashes.It also crashes if u minimize the program and maximize it again.It has something to do with the AMD display codec crashing.The problem is stil unsolved as far as I am concerned but try this and tell me if u have better luck with it.Add ur files to your pool but NOT in the timeline.Select all the files in the pool and right click/MAKE PROXYS wait till the process is finished it could take quite some time depending on your machine etc.After u have your proxys put on the preview window the quality to PREVIEW/HALF and then just grab all the files and put them in the timeline.It wont crash u can also edit the hell out of it just no fx and dont minimize the screen...Try it I would appreciate it so that maybe we can reach a point when MAGIK takes notice of this problem.Vegas is AMAZING and is becoming the best editor by far if it can become more steady and deliver 100% of what promised.Hopefully this helps and maybe sooner rather than later we will be able to edit the beautifull 10 bit h265 footage coming from the mighty xt3

@Constantine-VanHorne There appears to be a known issue with hevc, see developers private note to Longislanderr in this thread. They say it’ll be fixed in the next update.

According to my experience, most nles including the latest Vegas 17 hard to read H.265/HEVC 10-bit Videos shot. This is actually a known issue cause by long-GOP codec. The common ways to fix it out is upgrading your PC/graphics card and transcoding the long-Gop souce video to lossless mpeg-2 or other vegas pro preferred codec using a converter like handbrake or easefab video conveter. This probably solves your problem.

That's the opposite of my experience. Particularly with Vegas 17 build 452. Here's media info from my camera... looks like I set it for a 150 mbps bit rate but otherwise similar to op's footage. No info there on gop size, however.
