For those who haven't read my latest Twitter posts, Magix really doesn't like it when you add a fisheye effect to every clip (to make the screen look 3D) and tried to offer me a 45 hour long render time for my latest video. Naturally, I was distraught, but chose to abort in favour of further tweaks and adding a soundtrack. This is simply what happens when you don't re-engineer your programme after 20+ years of development and just pile more and more spaghetti code on top of deprecated and legacy code. Because the programme hasn't evolved much past the 32-bit era of computing it was initially developed under, it can't really use modern hardware. Like at all. If I'd used another editor (like After Effects), it would have been much shorter.
This is sadly an effect of me not having learned to use AE. In terms of how limited Vegas is by modern standards, I can't even do that "3D screen capture" effect a lot of other video documentarians can do that I'd like to learn how to do in future videos. To Magix's credit, however, I hear they are re-developing the program from scratch, so provided they sufficiently retain the interface I'm used to and don't cut support for certain filetypes, I'll be really looking forward to that. It should not take two days to render two hours of footage.
As a consolation, here's the finished/mastered audio track so you can listen to my latest video on the anniversary of the fracas: vocaroo.com/19CKJOBmT54K
Certain words will be bleeped out on the final upload.
