Finished my last project in Vegas 5 and officially made the switch to Vegas 6 about a 3 weeks ago. During this time I've noticed my preview window's frame-rate fluttering under 29.97fps on footage that has no effects/changes on it. I didn't think too much of it and figured it might be something working in the background on my computer, temporarily slowing it down.
Tonight I'm doing my first multi-cam edit in Vegas 6 and I have 3 video tracks synced up and PIP'd. In Vegas 5 I'd usually set the preview window to "DRAFT-FULL" and still get full 29.87 frame-rate. However, tonight it seemed like it wasn't going over 8fps! After some time toying with it I found that if I switch my view setting to Best-full, Good-auto, or anything other than the setting it was currently at and immediatly switch it back to my normal Draft-Full I would get full 29.97 frame-rate. ...for a few seconds that is. About 5-10 seconds after playing the frame rate slowly and stadily plummets untill it bottoms out around 3 fps.
Again I tested it and switched the quality setting and then right back- and AGAIN it snapped back to 29.97 and slowly plummeted down again.
I decided to test Vegas 5 out- just to make sure it wasn't the drive the footage wasy playing from. I cut and pasted all the tracks into a Vegas 5 timeline...played it back...and it's plays back fine at 29.97fps steady. No problems.
Is this a known issue for Vegas 6? I spoke to Edward Troxel about this and he feels it may be a caching issue. What has changed in Vegas 6 that is causing this? Are there any known fixes for it?
Any input/help will greatly be appreciated.
