System & NLE: Win 10 64 bit, 32 Gb DDR4, SSD drives, Vegas Pro 19 with Continuum 2021.5 (Far more detailed system specs close this post)
I have multiple issues with sluggish response and occasional crashes with VP 19 which may be caused by a basic consumer graphics card that just can’t handle things, but for this post I just wish to solve the two issues that are PI specific.
1. Degrading Preview
Only 1 track, one background clip, one single emitter (for now). I purposely rendered a very light footprint, only 15 fps clip as work background to take a load off of preview for use in PI that I will eventually replace.
While perhaps not real time fast when viewing in PI, it does not degrade as you can see it doing so in the below when viewed in the Vegas timeline.
One can see this degradation starting about a third in in this video screen shot:
Slow Down - 0:51 min.
2. Emitter Area Coverage
The particles do not cover entire screen/frame. I have not even started doing anything with this emitter aside from position for I have to solve these two issues before I can continue.
First photo screenshot is at first frame, second is at last. The added horizontal line in the second shows where the emitter field stops once it reaches that area.

Thank you for your help.
