I've rendered an uncompressed .avi (NTSC - 720x480) out of After Effects and dropped it into vegas. Hitting the space bar gets me about 19 frames/sec, which is understandable because the 4 second video is 128 megs - it's obviously I/O constrained.
So I hit Shift+b to RAM preview. No dice. The thing gives me 19 frames/sec. RAM preview, by definition, should rule out any compression or I/O issues. The process of RAM previewing should pop each frame into ram and be able to pump it out to the screen with no processing.
The problem occurs at "best", "good" and "preview" quality. Only draft quality will give me 29.97.
I have 1 gig of RAM and at the end of the RAM preview process, I was only using 171 megs of it.
This really appears to be a bug.
Anyone know of a workaround?
