Optimizing Performance | Vegas Pro

is a nondestructive time-based editor. As a result, time-altering plug-ins — such as Time Stretch, Gapper/Snipper and Pitch Shift without preserving duration — may perform poorly.

However, these types of plug-ins may perform suitably as bus effects if a single bus is used in the project. Plug-ins that require a lot of pre-buffering (such as Acoustic Mirror when using long impulse files) may also perform poorly.

Also, make certain that the plug-ins you use are DirectX plug-ins and not DXi plug-ins. DXi plug-ins are not supported and do not perform properly.

There are many reasons that your audio playback may gap:

When you run out of physical memory, your operating system will use virtual memory, which is slower. More. . . .

Defragment your drives regularly and save audio tracks to separate physical hard drives.

Use hard drives with fast seek times and spindle speeds of 7200 RPM or greater. SCSI drives typically have better prolonged data-transfer performance than IDE drives. can take advantage of SCSI asynchronous reading, which boosts performance. If you’re using IDE drives, consider upgrading to a faster controller card.

Use fewer events in the timeline, and trim silent sections to decrease disk access.

When you’re satisfied with the mix, you can use Render to New Track to combine tracks and decrease the amount of disk access required.

Exit all unnecessary background applications.

Decrease the setting of the Playback buffering slider on the Audio tab of the Preferences dialog.

Add more memory to your computer, and if your motherboard can support faster memory than you currently have installed, consider replacing your RAM. For example, if your computer supports both PC133 SDRAM and DDR (double-data rate) RAM, you’ll see increased performance with DDR RAM.

Zoom out fully so that the timeline does not need to scroll during playback.

Make sure that peak files are built for all audio in the project.

Consider using non-real time event effects to decrease processing.

When you’re satisfied with the mix, you can use Render to New Track to combine tracks and decrease the amount of disk access required.

On the timeline, all audio events are considered stereo. A mono audio event is interpreted as a stereo event with the same data in both channels. If you’re using the Add Channels panning mode, this duplication doubles the amplitude and results in a 6 dB increase in volume when you pan a track hard left or right.

Try using the Constant Power panning mode instead. Right-click the multipurpose slider and choose Constant Power from the shortcut menu. For more information about panning, click here.

Buffer underruns occur when data is transferred to the CD-R more slowly than it can be burned.

Decrease the burn speed, or — if you’re burning a disc-at-once audio CD — select the Prerender to temporary file check box to render your CD project to a temporary file before recording. Prerendering can prevent buffer underruns if you have a complex project that cannot be rendered and burned in real time.

Many graphics cards (video boards, primary display cards) on a PC cannot handle full-screen, full-frame rate video. While this leads to jerky, hesitating playback, it may not actually be a serious problem. You may have difficulty previewing your project at its full frame rate, but this will not affect your rendered project.

When you preview your project, you can use the Preview in Player, Selectively Prerender Video, and Build Dynamic RAM Preview commands to increase the frame rate for playback.

Preview	The Preview indicator in the Video Preview window represents the setting of the Video Preview Quality button. Auto settings will adjust the frame size to fit the Video Preview window size. Full settings are displayed at the project’s frame size. Draft (Full) will display at half the project’s frame size.
Display	The Display indicator represents the current playback properties. If you’re using an Auto setting for preview quality, this indicator will represent the scaled frame size. If your video preview is dropping frames, you’ll see the actual frame rate in this section.

A common video configuration is to have a separate video capture card and primary display card. In t
his case, the playback using the primary display on the computer may be jerky, but when you finally output the video to tape and view it on your television monitor, there should not be any problems.

If you are experiencing stuttering playback or decreased frame rates for previewing, please review the following checklist:

If you’re creating a video for the Web, consider using a smaller frame size and frame rate.
Defragment your hard drives.
Turn off PIO mode for all drives.
Enable DMA mode for all IDE drives:

From the Start menu, choose Settings > Control Panel.
Double-click the System icon to display the System Properties window, and then click the Hardware tab.
Click the Device Manager button.
In the Device Manager, click the button next to the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers heading.
Double click the Primary IDE Channel icon to display its properties.

Click the Advanced Settings tab.
For each device on the channel (Device 0 and Device 1), choose DMA if available from the Transfer Mode drop-down list.

Repeat step 5 for each IDE channel.

Verify that your CD/DVD drives are not connected to the same IDE channel as your hard drives.
Keep video display card, SCSI card, 1394 card, and sound card on unique IRQs if possible. If you have an ACPI computer with Windows IRQ sharing, you can try installing PCI cards in different slots to obtain different IRQs.

What is Sony Vegas Pro?

Sony Vegas Pro was formerly audio editing software. It was then converted into video editing software. Vegas Pro does not require special hardware to work properly.

It can run on any Windows. Originally published by Sonic Foundry, it has evolved into NLE i.e. software without editing in version 2.0.

Vegas Pro features audio editing for an unlimited number of tracks, making it unique among other Sony products. For video, it can real-time multi-track video.

Other 4 features: resolution-independent video sequence, sophisticated effects and compositing tools, 24-bit/192 kHz audio support, VST and DirectX plug-in effects support, and Dolby Digital surround sound. sound mixing.

In 2016, Sony Vegas Pro was sold to Magix, who said they would continue development as Sony had done.

Vegas includes a large category of tools that include 3D motion tracking and spatial positioning of visual planes in the area of motion graphics and composting.

Vegas has a unique feature integrated with 24p DV. Various clips and scenes can be copied and pasted while a song is playing. Each version of Vegas is released separately and updated from time to time.

It was released as «Multitrack Media Editing System» in beta mode at 1999 year. In Vegas 1.0 it was used as an audio tool and the focus was on resampling and upscaling audio.

Vegas Video Beta, or 2.0, was the first to provide video editing tools. Many new features have been released in Vegas Video 3. 0 such as new video effects, dynamic RAM preview, VideoCD and DataCD burning, etc.

Then many new versions have been added with many new technologies to improve it.

What is Vegas Platinum?

Vegas Platinum is a more advanced version of Vegas Pro. Previously, Vegas Platinum was called Vegas Movie Studio. When it was released in 2003, it could only edit ten audio and video tracks.

Then, with the advent of Platinum Edition Movie Studio, he was able to edit 20 videos and audio. And it was also possible to edit them both in standard and in several aspect ratios, that is, 4:3 and 16:9.

It can also edit 24p videos. Unlike Vegas Pro, there are no composting tools, nesting project or masking, etc. The color correction tools also found in Vegas Pro are also included in the very powerful Vegas Platinum.

Olegasvideo — video filming in Kyiv » Computer for editing and processing video 4K/FullHD

Video processing is much more demanding on computer hardware than photo processing. Photographers can sit on wood for years and not feel discomfort. In the same article, we will talk about various budget PC options for comfortable video work.

Looking ahead, I will say that the software part is more important than your hardware. I continue to be convinced of the high rendering efficiency with Davinci Resolve compared to other programs.

I was interested to feel the bottom of , that is, to understand from what minimum limit it is already possible to work with video.

The minimum build I’ll start with is about $250 (depending on whether you get all the parts new or some used). I clarify, we are talking only about the system unit, without a monitor and peripherals.

Minimum assembly — $250:

Celeron G3930 ($40)
Biostar TB250-BTC motherboard ($50)
A-data 8GB Ddr4 memory 213 3Mhz ($30)
video card Zotac GTX 670 AMP! ($40 used)
SSD 240GB Silicon Power Velox V55 ($40)
Gamemax GM-500B power supply ($20)
Gamemax ET-205-NP case ($20)
internal card reader (10 $)

Hardly anyone would consciously buy a Celeron G3930 for video work. I got it in used form along with the motherboard shareware, so I decided to test it in the programs I work with. And these are Davinci Resolve Studio 16 and Matrix Vegas 16 .

Things are not good with Vegas. The rendering time of FullHD video is about 5-6 times longer than real time. That is, a 10-minute FulHD video without any effects was rendered for about 56 minutes, which I consider an unsatisfactory result. At the same time, the processor load is maximum.

Everything is more fun in the paid Davinci Resolve Studio. Rendering FullHD video takes 2 times longer than real time. That is, a 10-minute FulHD video without any effects was rendered for me for about 20 minutes, which is of course slowly, but already satisfactory. The processor load is still maximum, the video card is not used. However, Davinci is about 3 times more effective than Vegas in this case.

By the way, here are my settings for these two programs:

A little help. The Celeron G3930 is an entry-level low power dual-core processor without multi-threading or overclocking. Operating frequency ~2.89GHz. Released in 2017 on the 14nm process technology. The Biostar TB250-BTC motherboard also does not imply the possibility of overclocking either the processor or the RAM.

What can I say about this assembly as a whole?

No matter how strange it sounds, but you can work on such hardware. True, only in Davinci and without any effects. After all, noise reduction alone can increase the render time to uncomfortable values. Light color correction does not affect rendering time. For example, this 45-minute video about Tilt & Shift lenses in Davinci was rendered for an hour and a half. You can live with this. Especially if the computer is not used for work, and you make videos for yourself and blog. Another thing is that the paid version of Davinci Resolve Studio costs more than this computer. But there is also a free version that runs about 30% slower than the Studio version. However, it is still noticeably faster than Sony Vegas (now Matrix Vegas).

By the way, this hardware runs games at minimum in FullHD. Overwatch produces 60-70 fps consistently. FullHD video plays without hesitation. 4K video is like a slideshow. Out of curiosity, I switched from a GTX 670 to a 1080 TI in this configuration. 4K video playback became smooth, without any nuances. But with FPS in Overwatch, not so much. The game in the menu immediately set the settings to high and showed 100-120fps, but during the game the fps dropped heavily to the same 60-70fps and even lower. There was no stability. Starcraft II on Celeron G3930 + GTX 670 plays normally, the only “but” is that when there are massive battles with a large number of units, there are slowdowns.

Budget build — $400:

AMD Ryzen 2700 ($170)
ASRock B450M-HDV motherboard ($70)
memory A-data 8GB Ddr4 2133Mhz (30$)
video card Zotac GTX 670 AMP! ($40 used)
SSD 240GB Silicon Power Velox V55 ($40)
Gamemax GM-500B power supply ($20)
Gamemax ET-205-NP case ($20)
internal USB 3. 0 card reader ($10)

In this computer, I changed the processor and motherboard. Now we are dealing with an 8-core Ryzen 2700 (no X) that supports multi-threading. Year of manufacture 2018, 12nm process technology. The difference in rendering speed is huge.

So, we have 16 processor threads for video rendering, unlike 2 threads in the first variant. On paper, its nominal frequency is 3.3 GHz. According to the Windows Task Manager without overclocking, it runs at 3.15-3.20 GHz when all cores are loaded without overclocking. But here we already have the opportunity to overclock both the processor and RAM.

By the way, the GTX 670 graphics card with the Ryzen 2700 processor ALMOST pulls 4K video playback. It goes on (this is no longer a slideshow, as it was with the Celeron G3930), but the smoothness is still not enough. In games, FPS is significantly increased due to the processor.

About overclocking

There is room for maneuver here. With the stock cooler AMD Wraith Spire , I managed to overclock the to 3.7GHz on all cores at 1.2V. The system does not hold a high frequency when rendering. In the AMD Ryzen Master utility, I managed to set 4GHz at 1.35V on all cores and even the utility’s stress test was passed. But here the render crashes with such settings instantly. To achieve stability, in which the computer can render for a long time without crashes and overheating, I settled on 3.7GHz and 1.2V. The temperature of the processor under load is about 73 degrees. I managed to get the RAM to work at 3000Mhz by raising the voltage from 1.2V to 1.35V, and the timings from CL15 to CL16.

The overclocked AMD Ryzen 2700 in the multi-threaded CPU-Z test scored 4550, which is 8% lower than the 2700X (4935), roughly in line with the Ryzen 1800X (4542) and 8% higher than the 1700X (4217). The conclusion is that the processor works out its money perfectly. We do not consider the Ryzen 3700X option here, because. it is noticeably more expensive.

Below I will give the detailed results of my tests. For comparison, I took the hardware from my main computer, this is an EVGA GTX 1080 ti Hybrid video card and G.Skill 2 sticks of 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz RAM. I was wondering how the upgrade of individual components will affect the performance in rendering.

Results of RAM/CPU overclocking tests for video rendering

Rendering 55 minutes FullHD video in Matrix Vegas 16

Ryzen 2700 without overclocking, operating frequencies 3.1-3.3Gh z:

8GB DDR4 (1 x 8) 2133Mhz overclocked to 3000Mhz — 1 hour 46 minutes
32GB DDR4 (2 x 16) 3200Mhz — 1 hour 36 minutes

Ryzen 2700 overclocked, all cores at 3.7Gh z:

8GB DDR4 (1 x 8) 2133Mhz overclocked to 3000Mhz — 1 hour 34 minutes
32GB DDR4 (2 x 16) 3200Mhz — 1 hour 26 minutes

it was a video render without any effects (95% CPU load, 1% GPU load).

Installing more expensive dual-channel memory gives a performance gain of about 10% . It is curious that in a short 5-minute video, the increase from changing 1 bar 2133Mhz to 2 bars 3200Mhz in Vegas was only 5%. This can be seen in the tests below.

Overclocking an AMD Ryzen 2700 processor from stock frequencies to 3.7Ghz (with stock cooling) gives a performance increase of about 13% .

I want to clarify, the RAM load was at the level of 6-7GB, so the amount of memory did not affect the speed. Important — dual-channel mode and a higher frequency of RAM. AMD Ryzen processors are very dependent on the frequency of RAM. The value of 3200Mhz is considered optimal, then the increase is less significant.

Simultaneous overclocking of the processor and installation of a faster dual-channel memory gave an increase of 23% , compared to cheap memory and CPU without overclocking.

Video card test in Davinci Resolve Studio (same video for 55 minutes)

FullHD

Nvidia GTX 670: 12 minutes 5 5 seconds (GPU usage 20%, CPU 85%)
Nvidia GTX 1080 TI: 12 minutes 18 seconds (GPU 25%, CPU 70%)

Nvidia GTX 670: 40 minutes (GPU 35%, CPU 62%)
Nvidia GTX 1080 TI: 39 minutes (GPU usage 17%, CPU 60%)

I did not change the CPU and RAM settings in this test.

There is a huge difference in rendering speed on the same hardware in Vegas and Davinci. The latter renders 4K video 2 times faster (40 minutes) than Vegas in FullHD (the fastest result is 1 hour 26 minutes).

Switching from the GTX 670 to the GTX 1080 TI yielded only a 5% increase in FullHD and 2.5% in 4K. In brackets (above), I’ve listed the CPU/GPU usage averages in Task Manager. Curiously, when rendering 4K video, the processor took less part, compared to FullHD video.

Do not rush to draw conclusions about the speed of video cards, then everything will fall into place.

I have displayed these data in the graphs below:

In the case of Vegas, it can be seen that installing a faster memory gives an increase about 5% (almost regardless of resolution), while in Davinci it is 12% (FullHD) and 26. % (4K)

video card upgrade. Especially in 4K. But I want to remind you, here was a 5-minute video without effects / processing. Next comes the final test.

Render 5 minute video with noise reduction in Davinci

FullHD

Nvidia GTX 670: 6 minutes 4 seconds

90 136 Nvidia GTX 1080 TI: 1 minute 30 seconds

4K

Nvidia GTX 670: 24 minutes 11 seconds

Nvidia GTX 1080 TI: 3 minutes 26 seconds

there the use of video cards is minimal.

So, here we see why a powerful video card is needed when rendering video. At FullHD resolution, the performance gain from the GTX 670 to the GTX 1080 TI was 404%. In 4K resolution = 704%. But it was a test video.

Then I checked the same with an interview with a fitness photographer, which is already on my channel. This 45-minute FullHD video with noise reduction on the GTX 1080 TI card was rendered in 11 minutes 28 seconds, and on the GTX 670 in 1 hour and two minutes (in Davinci, naturally). The difference in speed is more than 5 times.

Results

What is the conclusion from all this? First up is the software. The efficiency of using your iron depends entirely on it. Upgrading the processor in any program will be effective, but only to a certain extent. At some point, I ran into the possibilities of Vegas. No matter how much you upgrade your computer, Vegas does not reveal your hardware completely. For example, there is no point in having a powerful video card if you are not using Davinci Resolve.

By the way, there is a free Davinci Resolve and a paid Davinci Resolve Studio. Between them there is a difference in rendering speed and it is about 30% (according to tests from the Internet).

In this article, I missed the popular software — Adobe Premiere . Old versions are similar to Vegas in terms of hardware usage, graphics card resources are underused, and the overall efficiency is far from what Resolve gives. But at the end of May 2020, a new version was released that effectively uses both the GPU and the CPU, which significantly increased performance.

What is a good processor?

In terms of price / performance ratio in video rendering, AMD Ryzen processors are clearly in the lead. If you’re on a budget, look into the 1700/2700 series. If the budget allows, the 3700/3900 will be even better. The fact is that for rendering, multithreading is paramount. A processor with a higher frequency but fewer cores may be slightly better in games, but noticeably worse for rendering. I looked at the Ryzen 3600 with 6 cores, but after analyzing the tests, I realized that the older 2700 (even without X) would be better than the newer model due to the number of worker threads. In fact, you can stop at such a processor, and then invest in a good video card and use Davinci Resolve. This is relevant if you need to quickly render 4K video with various effects overlaid.

What is a good graphics card?

The role of the video card appears as soon as you start doing something with video effects. If you mount at the level of just glue and a little color cutter, then the performance gain from upgrading the video card will be minimal. But if you use noise reduction, chromakey, insert some kind of animation, etc., the video card will significantly affect the speed of work and rendering.

At the budget level, such cards as AMD Rx570/580 or Vega 56/64 are interesting. In terms of rendering performance, they are ahead of Nvidia cards of a similar price category. Vega 64 is inferior to 1080 TI in rendering by 6-7%, while the price difference is much larger. But if you look at the top solutions, then these are Nvidia GTX 1080 TI, GTX 2080, GTX 2080 TI.

Speaking of money

The $250 first build will do for low-demand FullHD video if you’re willing to wait for it to render.

The second assembly for $400 is already working and quite fast, but if you do not use any effects. Moreover, you can even quickly render in 4K if you use Davinci Resolve.
