13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K 3.00 GHz
64.0 GB
NVIDEA Geforce RTX 4080
Vegas Pro 12 (yeah it is old but I upgraded a year ago had issues and went back to this for now)
I thought my timeline playback would be better with this new computer?? It is OK but cant use preview "full" without lag in intensive sections. Seems close to performance I had on previous (average spec mac with bootcamp)
any way to fine tune it to be better?
You need a modern version of VEGAS that actually uses the GPU.
Otherwise create proxy files or convert to easier to edit formats. The conversion will go faster with the new CPU.
just looked back at earlier support ticket
vegas 18
"will not open older vegas projects" e.g. 12
got refund
assuming it would be the same now
also GPU. card selected in prefs...you are saying now it is different?
VP 18 or 21 will open older VEGAS projects. A user here went from 5 to 21. I have a number of VP 12 projects that I finished in later versions. If there were Fx applied that you no longer have then you might need to render out those parts in 12 or remove them to have it work as you want in 21.
Yes, I'm saying VP 12 had limited support for GPUs in preferences/ video. VP 15+ adds GPU media decoding and support for GPU-encoding capabilities as well. Newer versions also use it for 32-bit and raw video processing as well. Many of the Fx are now GPU accelerated, too.
Yes, try to reinstall those and errors should go away. VEGAS has built in LUT loaders (Fx and color grading panel) so you wouldn't need that except for legacy projects.
got it...I have 12 full version (not sure what it was called) what is equivalent now?
VEGAS Pro Edit
VEGAS Pro Suite
VEGAS Pro Post
@JHendrix Hi, Vegas Edit has the main program, VEGAS Pro Suite has the main program + some extras & VEGAS Pro Post again has the main program & some more extras,
If I was you I would choose VEGAS Pro Suite or VEGAS Pro Post because the added Mocha Vegas is very good & well worth the little extra price.

also as part of color grading plugin:
You do need it in VP 21 if your VP 12-era projects reference this Fx and you don't feel like re-adding a LUT to every event or piece of media.

somewhat confusing, looks like addon software in other versions? anyone know if enrty level is the sam as v12? for now dont need addons beyond what v12 has
VEGAS Pro the editing software is the same as VEGAS Pro 12 was. The Edit suite gives you that and nothing else.
Do you want the ability to track moving objects (for example to only color correct a person and not the background, to composite, etc.?) Mocha is excellent for that and it comes in the Pro Suite. Primatte Studio is for removing green screens. The other tools are for audio.
Do you know if I can safely run the latest demo to test it and it wont effect V12 install?
Of course.
tried to open v12 project in new trail version of vegas and say unsupported format - wont open
You tried the veg file?
you mean post it with no media in it?
Yes, that's right
After telling it to "ignore missing media", it opened just fine in VEGAS Pro 21 with no further error messages.
It opens without issue here in VP 21.
