The newness of your computer isn't particularly relevant, either. What matters is how much RAM it has, how fast the hard drives are, etc. </p> <p>HDV and AVCHD are extremely computer intense formats. What many of us do -- I'm a Vegas user, too -- is create an intermediary file, using a utility called NeoScene, and there are others as well. This will allow you to work with .avi files, then translate them back into a hi-def format if you want to create a Blue-ray DVD.</p> <p>I suggest you go over to the Sony Vegas editor's forum and search the archives for threads that discuss slow response on playback and ways to eliminate this. You'll find a great deal of information and, once you've joined the forum, lots of help with Vegas or Movie Studio from forum members using these programs.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/trouble-editing-hd#post-73413 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 09:53:09 +0000 leora 73413@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I recentl bought the canon eos 60d and i love it!! however when i go to edit the HD videos the playback lags making it impossible to edit.

Adobe Premiere Premium was only $850 up until yesterday (it's usually $1700). You would have had everything you'd need for quite some time.</p> <p>FCP used to be very capable, up through FCP7. Now that they have released FCP X, it's more for consumers/prosumers, in my opinion. However, it might be enough for you since you work by yourself. Basically, FCP X doesn't play nice with other programs (no XML, OMF, etc. exporting), it doesn't allow for monitoring via external monitor, media management is different (and seems clunky in my opinion), it doesn't handle codecs natively, and there's a whole bunch of other problems that make pros hate it. But you said yourself you will only be editing occasionally, and it sounds like you'll be working by yourself. So it might be fine for you. I can't say much more than that. I've only read about it. I haven't bothered to buy it.</p> <p>Adobe has come a long way and is very capable these days. Apparently it works flawlessly with the other Adobe programs, too. It works will with all codecs natively, which is a big plus. And depending on the computer model you own, you may be able to take advantage of the GPU acceleration and 64-bit processing. I just got the Premiere Premium bundle the other day and am looking forward to digging in.</p> <p>You sound like you're on a Mac, so I don't think you'll be able to use Sony Vegas. I don't think they make it for Mac...</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/newb-trying-to-decide-between-fcp-app-or-sony-vegas#post-71996 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 15:31:13 +0000 Vail Fucci 71996@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I'm a wedding photographer who has just started using her 5dMKii to make promotional videos and vlog entries on my blog.  With some of my past projects in iMovie, there would be blockyness in the blacks and grays.  So I went to apple and they told me the blockyness problem I was having was that iMovie was unavoidably compressing my files from my 5DmkII output during the transcoding, they suggested switching to Final Cut Pro. In asking a few of the videographer's I've worked with, none of them have mentioned working with FCP. They are either working with Vegas or Premier. FCP is considerably cheaper at $299 (although I see I may need motion and compressor if any of my clients ask for DVD movies with pictures). Sony Vegas Pro is $599.95. And Premiere Pro is $799. Vegas and Premiere have to have something that FCP doesn't for that difference in price right? I'm just wondering for me as a wedding photographer, who is only using this to do the occasional video editing, does it make sense to spend the extra $300-400 bucks. I don't want to buy FCP and then realize, d'oh actually in a month or two of using FCP I realize I want/need Vegas or Premiere. So for those who have used them all, what do you think of them and the differences between them? Also what's the learning curve like? I'll be coming from iMovie, which I have pushed to its editing limits, and I know CS4 Photoshop well. Any suggestions are much appreciated!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/vegas-pro-11-to-vegas-pro-10-render-speed-comparisons#post-71757 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 23:18:07 +0000 doublehamm 71757@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I upgraded my GPU to a GTX 580, and now it renders the entire ceremony referenced above fully edited and color corrected in 00:29:42 (Vegas Pro 10 64-bit took 1:32:27 to render).  Sick...</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/vegas-pro-11-to-vegas-pro-10-render-speed-comparisons#post-71718 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 00:16:40 +0000 doublehamm 71718@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I forgot to mention an important detail.  Both versions I was comparing (Vegas 10 Pro and Vegas 11 Pro) were both 64-bit versions - so this is not a 32 bit to 64 bit comparison, it is truly 64 bit to 64 bit comparison.  </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/vegas-pro-11-to-vegas-pro-10-render-speed-comparisons#post-71712 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 15:02:38 +0000 DSFilmsja 71712@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>thx for the info great!!! veGAS 11 sounds to to well improved! </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/vegas-pro-11-to-vegas-pro-10-render-speed-comparisons#post-71704 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 23:48:43 +0000 doublehamm 71704@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>As for playback during editing, from the amount of time I have been able to use it (have not done a complete project on it yet), the preview seems to actually be able to stay at "Full" rather than having to keep resorting to "Half" like Vegas 10 always did to get the video to play smooth with a couple effects added.  </p>
