: Compressed formats like H.264 (MP4) force your CPU to work harder. DNxHD is an "intermediate" codec that is easier for VEGAS to process while scrubbing the timeline.
: The free Avid pack often lacks 50p or 60p options. You can "trick" it by selecting a 25p or 30p codec in the Avid window but manually typing 50 or 60 in the VEGAS Frame Rate box.
