These settings will improve performance when switching to/from the Vegas editing window (see at right).

In Vegas, click Options->Preferences and select the General tab. Unselect the two options highlighted in red.

These settings will reduce the amount of memory used when scrubbing or rendering. The Dynamic RAM preview is not needed with Ultra and can interfere with switching between low and high quality modes. In Vegas, click Options->Preferences and select the Video tab. Set the Dynamic RAM Preview max to 0 (zero). Also most HD codecs are already multi-threaded so only one rendering thread is needed, this will also reduce memory use and improve performance. Set the Maximum number of rendering threads to 1 (one).

Ultra will playback the proxies when you are in Preview Half in the Vegas Preview Monitor. To see the files at full quality, use Preview Full. Note that Vegas 9 will automatically switch to Preview Half when you attempt playback. If you want to turn off this behavior, right-click on the Preview monitor and unselect Adjust Size and Quality for Optimal Playback (see in red at right).
