Well.. I recently upgraded from VMS 9 to the new 10.. and it's been nothing but trouble since. I admit, I'd love to have a new i7 computer, but for now I have a 2 quadcore Vista, and VMS 9.. sorry to say.. worked much better.
I do some real estate video projects here and there, so I put in some photos with video.. and use keyframe animation to give the photos the pan or zoom look.. and in rendering.. the video came out fine.. but all of the photos rendered very choppy, framey, and distorted. Of course in preview. .it looks just fine. I tried lots of different formats, but.. always the same result. So I had to take out the pics.. render out the video i edited.. then go back to VMS 9.. and insert the pics to render out the whole thing together.. cos 9 is no problem.
I also noticed right away.. that the preview of the video is worse in 10, and so choppy.. that it's miserable to edit.. especially transitions as most know. I loaded some of my old VMS 9 projects.. and 10 could barely even play them. Note that these are not HD.. only smaller WMV files etc.. one was avi.. and i was only getting about 1 frame every 4 seconds.
So it's like it's backwards. cos the preview of the pics keytrame animation works great.. but doesn't render right.. while the preview of the video is awful.. but does render correctly.
I've tried adjusting the dynamic ram etc, and preview auto, draft, etc. How can you really edit, when looking at it in horrible quality anyway. I edit files that are youtube size.. 640x360.. how could i possibly use HD? It can't even handle these smaller wmv files.
So what's missing here? Did i miss some system requirement somewhere? VMS 9 works pretty well.. 10 not.. and is pretty much useless at this point to me. Sorry to be so negative.. I was excited about the upgrade hoping for some improvement lol.
