I have spent hours this last week transcoding files from the 7D with neoscene and even then, Vegas just stops working when it feels like it. Even our main video files are in DVCPro HD, which Vegas doesn't support and we need a third party solution. The thing is, going forward every new camera we might want to invest in will now use some kind of AVCHD or professional codec that Vegas just cannot handle at this moment in time. It seems to be the 32bit version that has the most issues, but there are even reports now that 64bit users are having the same problems.
Lots of forums out there have similar posts from users who feel exactly the same as we do at this moment in time. God help you if you didn't save what you were working on regularly. Renders refusing to start in quicktime formats - well Sony obviously hate Apple and numerous timeline crashes with no reasons given, it just says 'Vegas has stopped working' and then closes down. Renders failing because of lack of memory! Er ok. Many others in Pro land have much faster i7 machines with bags of RAM and get the same issues we are now seeing.

I don't have that slow a PC or Laptop I use a professional Quadro graphics card, have a decent, if not huge RAM and a quad core processor. Final Cut Pro does that, Avid does it and Premiere Pro excels at it! So why are Sony selling a professional package that costs lots of money, yet are not providing support for the actual professional formats being used! Why should we have to use third party plug-ins to get the damn thing to accept industry wide formats? It stinks and now looks like it has also developed bugs in the latest releases which just impact more on performance. This is supposed to be a professional editing package that means it needs to deal with the professional kit and an assortment of file types used in the industry. This has become quite obvious over the last year or so, with no added support for MXF P2 files or AVCHD and H.264. Sony are quite obviously only interested in their way of doing things. But then that's where the problems begin.

I didn't worry at first as it just means using a third party software to transcode the codec files to something Vegas likes (AVI) and then you should be able to edit that easily and in real time and then render out. The workflow is extended because you cannot edit those codecs natively, but Vegas always boasted that it could do mixed format editing no problem. Even on a laptop it worked ok.īut our issues with Vegas started when we started using AVCHD and Canon H.264 files and using a mix of formats in the 'About AVF' videos. This was a slight chore but the end results were good, with little in the way of slow rendering etc.

We use P2 cards with DVC Pro HD codecs and had to buy and install third party software (raylight) so we could use the P2 footage. Anyone who has used audio editing packages of any kind will quickly pick up the workflow which is simple time line editing without waiting on stuff rendering and so on. The thing with Vegas in general is that it is very intuitive to use and the results to start with were very good. When we bought into Vegas about two and a half years ago, it looked like a promising package that we thought would last us many years of trouble free editing and audio production tools. Just thought I would share the continuing nightmare that is now Sony Vegas Pro 9 editing software with forum members who might be tempted to try it.
