I love Sony Vegas. I've edited with it since v. 3. However, I've now migrated over to iMac OS X installed with Parallels, where I am running Vegas in Coherence. Actually, I'm also on a learning curve with Final Cut Studio v.7 on the Mac side. I want to edit Vegas for some things and Final Cut for others as both have their unique strengths and weaknesses, leading me to a Q that I hope perhaps someone here in the forum can address. Vegas 9e is working under Windows XP, SP2, x32. A couple of Q's if someone has an answer.
1) The iMac has 8g of Ram for Final Cut. But Vegas is showing that it only has 639mb for Ram as a maximum, and it's supposedly only using 255mb. I've not noticed much in lack of performance, but then again, there appears to have been a little less responsiveness and speed. Any comments on this?
2) Is there anyone that has any recommendations for special settings that I might consider to tweak Vegas 9e ass it is essentially running in a x64 OS but in Parallels (replacing Bootcamp), yet within the framework of Win XP at x32 under SP2.
I hope that I'm making sense here. I want to give Vegas as much of this iMac OS X system as possible while the program is essentially confined to Win XP. Should I upgrade to x64? Is anyone here in the forum running Vegas on an iMac Leopard? Any advice would be welcome news.
Thanks
