Video editing take long hrs to do....and u must have a very stable system to run.Use hardware editing better then software....or maybe now change due to CPU power...
Hi John,do u ever used Media Studio Pro?

Oh sure....I know what u mean...oh yes the new Duo 2 Core chip indeed render at least 4 time faster than my old Pentium 4 2.4gb...U mean the one from ulead?

Yes I do compare it with my old machine...at least 4 time faster...maybe due to Core 2 Duo CPU + more Ram...

That great...u must be very experience since u start since version 5.0. Currently I'm learning to use the version 7.0b due to editing the HDV...though version 6.0d do support it. Heard it much more power & flexible than Premier pro 2.0 but was wonder is the render part do take longer to finish it...

Do u capture the video straight from the tape thru Vegas or just using any 3rd parties software or any capture card?

This sunday after Ruby event?

[Stratix]

using Vegas 6, and recently got 7.

sadly, Vegas doesnt seem to have good multi-thread support. those running Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading, or dual core CPU users wont really get speed increase... =(

[tommon]

Basically, speed increase does not necessary means better work flow. One can only edit that fast. Switching OFF or closing the background programs helps increase the speed (like anti-virus, internet access, any monitoring program). This is more obvious in Vegas 7

To answer some of the questions: yes we do directly capture from tape using Vegas (the time code is more accurate than some 3rd party and not opening other programs helps the speed). I personally do not do most of the post, I am basically more of a cameraman / photographer. So not qualified to teach, my partner who does all the post don't like to train our future competitors (HEE HEE) just joking , no time anyway.

In US Vegas is bundled with the SONY HDV cams, just strange that it's not so for rest of the orld.

[Nessie]

yes. i'm using vegas 6. system is not stable enough. so must have lots of patience.

U mean from vegas 6 to 7 right? Dual 2 core is definitely much faster than all pentium 4 CPU including the Extreme version...
