Howard,

I ran Vegas at the SAME time as DS and allowed it to 
render in the background (actually several different instances).  Seems my 
DS ran smoother when Vegas was running. :-)

I could actually play out of 
Vegas via SD-Connect to capture SDI in DS on the same system with no issues. 
(But my preference was to play out of Canopus Edius).  Vegas is great for 
compositing and file conversions, and it's the absolute best at mixing audio. 
But, it sucks for PTT, so I usually write out files to PTT in other 
programs.  

Vegas also works great with DS reference files.  
Use AVI when leaving DS, and then render out to QT uncompressed when leaving 
Vegas to bring back to DS.  Video levels are seamless bouncing back and 
forth.  Just set your scopes in Vegas accordingly (as DS uses YUV full out 
form 0 to 255).  

Hope this helps,

td

Hey,

 

Everyone has been on other subjects and that is good but I still need to chat with anyone that is running Sony Vegas on their DS workstation. [Not at the same time as DS of course].

 

Anyone???????

 

Thanks,

Howard
