Hi CK16
Where did your videos come from ?
If they came from a GoPro camera, that would explain the extreme lag.
GoPro uses very high compression, which requires high CPU/GPU power to decompress in real time.
Make sure your Frame Rates match perfectly in the project !
Your Project Property settings for
Frame Rate, must match your source video exactly.
If it is out by just a tiny amount, it will cause massive lag, because you are telling Vegas to convert the Frame Rate in real time before rendering.
Read/watch this FAQ here:

I highly recommend you use Solution #2 and use the inbuilt
Proxy Video creation tool in Vegas.
This will render easy to play video versions, just for editing.
When you do this, make sure to set the Preview Window = Draft or Preview quality - this forces the "proxy" versions to play while editing.
Switch to Good or Best to show/play original camera versions.

Derek
