What kind of system is required for playback of the files? And I'm curious, with the new focus on AMD products, whether there might be a recommended system configuration for the new version of Vegas?
native .r3d files at project settings anywhere from SD widescreen to 4K project sizes I've seen playback direct off the timeline w/o a hitch (no fx) on a quad core.
The machine I used at the party was a Dell 6400 with 8GB Ram, eSata drives. It can't sustain 24p for long periods, but if you allow for files to be spread out so they buffer better, it works better.
Very impressve, for an off-the-shelf laptop, eh?
