I have Vegas Pro 8 and I will re-install it on the new computer. I was wonderning about any pitfalls I should be aware of moving to a 64bit operating system with Vegas Pro 8? I am moving from a single core running xp so a big processing leap for me going to a quad core. Thanks for your help yourvideographer on "I need Help looking for a Computer to run Vegas Pro 8" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/i-need-help-looking-for-a-computer-to-run-vegas-pro-8#post-46289 Tue, 28 Apr 2009 20:08:06 +0000 yourvideographer 46289@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ Hello There, I have just purchased Vegas Pro 8. I know 9 is coming out in 2 weeks, but I got a pretty smoking deal for 8. So I have the software, but now I need a computer to run it on. I have been getting mixed answers on where to get a computer. Some people on here say don't buy from a big manufacture because they don't know what they are doing. But I talked to some colleagues of mine (In fact, one of them is a Vegas Expert) and they are using computers from Dell, HP, Sony. I also have noticed some other people on here recommend building a computer. On that note, I know how to drive the car, but not fix or rebuild an engine like a car mechanic does. I would love to know how to do that, but I was not blessed with those talents. Some people also say get a local computer shop to build one, but I heard that is expensive to do so. Plus I just moved here to Colorado and I don't know any local shops I could trust to buy from. Bottomline is I am looking for a computer that will be reliable, will be a workhorse. I do not want to run into a problem 6 months later and realized that I should have gotten more storage or a faster this or that, yada, yada, yada.... I am guessing you guys are getting my drift. I also would like to make sure if I go desktop that I would get a tower to be able to make changes to the computer in the future if I need to. One more thing to, Desktop or Laptop? It would be nice to be able to go mobile, so if a client needs something right then and there, I have the ability to do so. I just feel like the Desktop will tie me down and it is bulky while moving it, but it may be good for me to do so. I realize the Desktop will probably have a higher performance level than a laptop to. Well, I hope I didn't leave any important info out. Thank you for your time, your help and your responses. Thank you, Chad P.S. My budget is $5000, but I would like to spend under $2500, so I can save money and spend money on other things I need for my video production business. But I am willing to pay, what I need to pay to make sure I have a very good performing computer, so I don't have to waste my time trying to fix and deal with problems with this computer. One more thing, I am very open to any suggestions on the direction I need to go with getting this computer.

I bought aÂ Canon XL2 and Vegas Pro 8. I'm new to this level of video. Question: if I have two separateÂ video tracks and want to do a quick switch to the second track, how do I do this in Vegas? I'm completely lost, and frankly, the stuff that came with it isn't helping much. To clarify, I'm toying with the XL2 and my old Hi8 shooting a conversationÂ between 2 people. video track #1 is subject #1 talking. Video track #2 is the Hi8 taking a close up of subject #2 for facial expression and so on. I have both tracks in vegas with the Hi8 video being the second video and want to switch to that video for a moment. I can't seem to figure it out. Any help is GREATLYÂ appreciated.
