I have mixed feelings about VMS 10 HD playing my Canon 550D (hdslr) files in full hd.
I get a full 24fps in preview only when I leave activated 'adjust size and quality for optimal playback'. (It is activated standard, actually). If I deactivate it, fps drops to 12fps or below, on my system. But even when activated, it seems buggy, and framerates will drop to under 10fps, unpredictably and frequently.
I have been using VMS8 Plat on my system for two years now, and honestly, I can't see any improvement right now. I get the same framerates, you know.
(I admit version 10 does offer rendering to full hd mp4 files, while VMS8 only offer wmf full hd).
I have a CUDA enabled GPU (nvidia 8800GS). I'm running the trial, build 179.
Critical detail: the program crashes instantly when I try to open the help file.
Hm, 'adjust size and quality for optimal playback' seems like a euphemism, a scam, really, for hiding the fact that nothing really has changed under the hood.
EDIT: I'm not saying VMS10 is bad. For many users, it will be a powerful NLE with lots of useful features. I'm just trying to find out if this release justifies updating from vms 8, and for now, my conclusion is it isn't. I'd rather transcode my files using mpeg streamline.
Also, using the 'adjust size and quality for optimal playback' seems to activate some transcoding in the background. It takes a while before the full 24 fps or whatever becomes available.
