Vegas Pro 21 Lagging (Preview Is Fine)

HaydenLMartin wrote on 5/20/2024, 8:55 AM

Good morning everyone. I'm writing here to ask for some assistance sicen I'm almost at my wits end. The problem I'm encountering isn't necessarily work ending, but it's annoying enough to make me stop my work multiple times a day due to irritation.

To sum it up. The preview is fine, in fact it plays better than Pro 15 did on the same computer. The editing functions, rendering takes a little longer but it's not awful, and it works.

However, editing itself is lagging to hell and back. Zooming in on the timeline takes a good two seconds between input and result, hovering my mouse over buttons and clickong them is the same. Moving the cursor on the timeline, opening FX windows, all of these things feel like they're being delayed by one to two seconds from input to execution. I can't seem to find anyone having similar problems on the current generation of the software, and those that are having it are using older generations and never say if their problem got resolved.

For quick PC specs:

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Processor
NVIDIA 2080 RTX Super Graphics Card
32 GB Of RAM
A 1 TB NVME SSD M.2 Drive for boot and main storage.
A 2 TB NVME SSD M.2 Drive for additional files.

Any assistance with this issue would be much appreciated as it's driving me batty.

Just commenting to say I feel I've been having the same issue since the latest few updates. Literally everything I do has 1-2s delay. Clicking in the timeline, hitting space to start playback - everything. Considering swapping editing programs if I can't find a solution soon because it slows down work just way too much, and I haven't had this problem before for years of using this program.

  • AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
  • NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4070 TI
  • 32GB RAM
  • 2 TB NVME SSD M.2 Drive for all my editing files.
  • very similar specs other than our GPU.

Do you have the UI lagging with no media or say just generated media like text or a solid color?

If it is lagging without media, try a reset by holding down shift and control when double clicking to start the program.
