Layered PSD problem.

Hi,

I'm using Motion Designer Toolkit from Digital Juice : export graphics as AI files, then import to Corel and export as a layered PSD with AA and alpha.

Import to Vegas across the tracks - files are usually about 100MB but have a lot of layers (30 or more).

Vegas is loosing control first on refreshing frames, then on screen resources (can't refresh windows, cursor hangs or dissapears, it is impossible to start task manager) and finnally it leads to BSOD.

Can anybode recreate this kind of problems or give some advice ?

I am confused, first time I have to really use PSD in project and have clash. Before I have made some small experiments on PSD which had small amount of layers (two or three) and there was no signals of problem. During edition of files with more layers problem is permanent in my config.

I have checked bahviour of Vegas in different setting of memory reserved for dynamic RAM preview. No difference. I looks like problem with lack of screen resources.

Best regards,

RRA

For Vegas, typically, anything out of the Digital Juice Juicer, especially PSDs, I have had to reduce the resolution by 50% right off the bat. I would expect AI to PSD to be the same.

After Effects will handle the DJ full resolution just fine. Vegas had to be somewhat reduced resolution, which is still more than just fine for video.
