Vegas renders really slowly?
Hi, I am having a bit of a frustration with vegas. I have a project that is 1920×1080. I can play a “Best – Full” at 23.976 FPS but rendering that to a mp4 or mov file only seems to encode at 2fps??? Now i have never had this before, and i have not changed by pc setup, not installed more programs, and dont have any viruses. I dont understand? What can i do to make it encode faster???
Thanks,

Rendering is always slower then playback:
When rendering from 1080p avi to 1080p mp4 it usually renders at around 5- 12 fps
What version of Vegas are you using..as maybe you should enable GPU rendering to speed things up a bit
(this is available in vegas 10+)one trick i usually do is buffer the full project first : shift+B with the full time selected) ( if you have enough RAM for it)
then render it with the settings you like ( this also decreases the time needed as most frames are buffered in RAM already )
is your source the same fps as you are rendering to or lower/higher… if it’s higher it usually works better when you render to a lower one..if its lower this can increase the time needed to render.
an extra thing is decreasing the number of tracks/layers… the more layers the longer it takes to render
not sure where but there is a tutorial on how to merge trackshope this helps a bit

[Timothy Carr] “What can i do to make it encode faster???”
You need to figure out what is causing it to encode slower. Did you add any FX that you haven’t used before? Processing with plug-ins that perform noise removal such as Neat Video will bring a render to a crawl. So will powerful plug-ins like Magic Bullet unless you have a powerful graphics card.
I would start by dropping a piece of media into a new project and render to MP4 and see if that is slower than usual. That should tell you if something has changed on your PC or not. Then try and figure out what’s different about this project. Simple mistakes like nudging the opacity on a track to something less than 100% when you didn’t mean to can cause an entire project to come to a crawl when rendering.

Nope, no FX just raw .m2t files. Not verry complex eather. u just understand how it can play smooth but render soooo slow. Thanks for the reply, any other ideas?

Try reinstalling Vegas.
And as an added bit for faster rendering, change
the rendering quality to Good in Project Properties.Steve Rhoden

Check how much RAM you have dedicated to RAM Preview. Too much and a render starts fast but then slows down to a crawl. Set it to 100 before rendering.
