Sony Vegas Problem

Speaking of the loop region,when I highlight a large section,it usually only plays back a tiny part and just leaves the rest out.Is there any way to fix that at all?cause it's quite annoying to try and smooth a large clip out when I have to do it bit by bit

go to "options" then to "video" then there should be a box for "Dynamic RAM Preview Max (MB)" change the number to a higher setting...

Wow, thanks for that advice, mine was only set to 255MB. Bumped it up to half of my ram size (512).

Mine will only let me put it up to 128mb. Is there a way to further optimize so my preview won't be all choppy?

Well, you can try to drop your preview quality to Draft (full or half). The video itself will look super shoddy, but (assuming it gets the video to play without being choppy) you'll at least be able to see most of your synching more clearly.

Thanks. That helped a bit. Though its still choppy.

Heh, I bet. You definitely need some extra RAM.

You can also try Jaddzia's suggestion:

It takes a bit of time for it to work it's way through that loop region, but it'll make it play smoothly once it's done.

There's also Shift+M which will let you prerender your video (just be sure to click the checkbox that says "Render loop region only" to turn that option on, otherwise it'll render the entire video). I suppose the downside to this one is that it will actually create prerender files on your hard drive. Also note that it will render the video (loop region) in a bunch of little 10 second segments. It's kinda odd, I suppose, but it gets the job done. The prerender will break when you change anything in the prerendered area.
