So I have been using Sony vegas/movie studio for a good 3-4 years now (all steam versions, moved from movie studio 13 platinum, to vegas pro 14 edit steam, to vegas pro 16 edit steam which is what I currently use)
I have close to 5000 hours combined between these programs, so I'm not just some noob who hasn't tried this, or hasn't tried that. I've looked up every single help forum etc. to try to find answers to the crashing/instability issues, and have found, honestly, nothing.
Furthermore, I know this isn't a hardware issue, as I have used those 5000+ hours on 3 different machines, 1 is a predator helios laptop, one is an AMD fx8350 build with 24gig ram, and an RX480, the other is an AMD ryzen 2700x build with 32 gigs ram, and a 1080ti (which is my primary editing rig, so my computer is more than capable to run this program, in fact, all my computers are)
When I do save my work, it will crash like 2-3 times, maybe I will luck out and edit a whole video without a crash, but if I were to not save my work and just edit like a crazy person with no backup, then the program almost at a ridiculous rate will keep crashing over and over and over and over and over again. I've had vegas crash 10-20 times while editing a 10 min video I was too stubborn to save, having to reload the auto save file each time.
I wrote an article to be linked in the near future from a pinned forum FAQs post. Did my best to summarise the situation as I understand it: -graphics-cards-gpu-acceleration-for-vegas-pro--104614/ If you have comments on it, maybe you could share them here.
Hello, this is my first day in this forum. Recently I have build a PC with I7 6700, 16GB RAM and AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB. I am mostly working with 4k footage from my Panasonic GX80/85 (H264). I am quite happy with vegas playback, is much faster than Resolve, I can throw a lot of Fx in and I am still getting 20fps or 22 at a good quality playback. If I wanted to have smoother (maybe full hd playback?) will a second RX480 help me?. Couldn't find any info about multiple GPU'S in Vegas.
i7-6800k seems the sweet spot for six core CPU. Should be enough for VP14 and 1080p footage .. Graphic card is still problematic with AMD cards seemly the best for Vegas at present. Nick's suggestions likely are still a good place to start your research .. -graphics-cards-gpu-acceleration-for-vegas-pro--104614/
Many of the visual effects processing in Vegas follow an audio-like paradigm. Effects can be applied at any stage of the visual signal flow or event level. Moreover, track level and output level effects, such as reverb, delay, and flange, are applied in a digital audio system, like Pro Tools, Cubase or Sonar. Master output effects can also be controlled and manipulated over time by the use of Master Bus track automation envelopes.
In 2009, Sony Creative Software purchased the Velvetmatter Radiance suite of video FX plug-ins and these are included in Sony Vegas Pro 9.0. As a result, they are no longer available as a separate product from Velvetmatter.[15]
The Denoise effect has only two main parameters: Noise Reduction and Sharpening. Under Noise Reduction, move the Luminance and Chrominance sliders and replay the video, adjusting the sliders until the background noise vanishes.
Most denoiser effects add blur to the image to reduce background noise. In turn, this can occasionally make your video blurry and lose sharpness and detail if you try to remove too much background noise. You can maintain the original quality by adjusting the Sharpness parameter.
Step 8: If you lose too much detail in your image, you can apply sharpening effects to fix it. Create a new serial node, switch to the Blur panel, and click the Sharpen icon to see the Blur-Sharpen parameters. Lower the radius sliders to add detail to your image.
The Denoise effect from Sony Vegas Pro (now known as Magix VEGAS Pro) is a quick and effective method to remove background noise from your videos. However, Boris FX provides both seasoned and beginner filmmakers with professional presets that can take the quality of videos to the next level, allowing you to adjust every parameter in the plug-in and create your own presets for future projects.
Ok so I have been using sony vegas for a while now and I am having a huge issue. Vegas last night kept crashing when I tried to edit a video about an hour long (only wanted to render half becuase it was two episodes worth or recordings) and I had to restart the program 20+ times within the 1-1.5 hour editing span of the video. There is an intro, outro, two audio and two video tracks, and one of the tracks has chroma keying on it as well as cookie cutter and shrink applied (the facecam). It also crashed many times while rendering at about 60% but there is nothing special at that time so idk what it mmight be. I also render them in 1920x1080 60fps (59.94) as they were recorded. I have a 4790k, 980Ti Zotac Reference, 32g of 1600 Corsair vengance RAM, plz help!!
If you wanna make an uncompressed AVI to use in AVISynth or MeGUI later, that's cool too. I suggest exporting with Lagarith as sony vegas's "Uncompressed" codec will fill your hard drive faster than Fraps ever could.
Note there are only 2 differences from the Vegas Pro 8 defaults in the "HDV 1080-50i (1440x1080, 25.000 fps)" template. I have changed "Full-resolution rendering quality" from "good" to "best" and I have set the "Prerendered files folder" to "D:\Vegas-prerendered\" a new folder that I have made on a different drive from Vegas (C:\) and my video assets (.m2t files and .avi files which are on my E:\ drive). Actually the prerendered files folder is irrelevant to what we are doing now and you can leave it in the default location on C:\ drive if you don't have a separate drive. I have ticked "Start all new projects with these settings".
One final tip... if you like the quality of someone's DivX or Xvid video, download them and open them in the offline DivX Player that comes with the free DivX bundle. Right click on the video while it is playing and choose "File Information...". Then you can see the video's various parameters including bitrate and size:
The entirety of this video editing app also introduces several AI-powered features to streamline the editing process and enhance the quality of projects. The AI Image Analysis feature, known as Z-Depth, employs artificial intelligence to analyze footage and construct complex depth maps from 2D imagery. This empowers editors to edit foreground and background elements separately, resulting in hyper-realistic visual effects.
