Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Problem with rendering

  • Problem with rendering

    Posted by Michal Bronec on March 13, 2013 at 3:27 pm

    I’m trying to render a 15minute project, but rendering always start going wrong at one particular moment (parts of the particular event at this moment start to dissolve (repeatedly) into the parts of two previous events). When I render ONLY this problematic part and nothing else, there is no problem. So whats wrong? Maybe my computer cant manage it? What should I do? (The event which is causing the problem doesnt contain any demanding effects, there is nothing special about it)

    I was thinking, its possible to render first part of the project and then second part and then (without recompression) seamlessly join these two parts into one video? Maybe I shoud try this? What would you do?

    That sounds genuinely strange – what are your computer specs and what version of Vegas are you using? also what is your project material source?

    Sony Vegas 11. My computer is pretty old 🙂 Intel Core2 6600, 2GB RAM. My project material source is h264 mov from Canon 5DMII.

    What OS? With only 2Gb of RAM, I am suspecting XP.
    Your PC is barely adequate for editing h.264 footage.

    Windows 7. Editing is suprisingly going well. The problem is (sometimes) in rendering.

    Editing is really nothing to the PC, but encoding (Render As menu) is very resource intensive.

    I finally rendered the project into several parts (mp4). Now I need to render these parts into one (mp4 file) without recompression. I thought Vegas could do it, but smart rendering doesnt work. I chose “match media” in project settings and match project settings in the “render as” dialog, but Vegas seems to be rendering everything again. That doesnt bother me too much, because I dont see any difference between original video and recompressed video, but the problem is that there are slight audio drop outs at the end of each part I originally rendered (I dont know why), so when I join it together, it doesnt sound good. Why is this happening?

    I don’t recall where, but there is an automatic crossfade added to the ends of cut events. You can turn it off.

    Or you could open your project file with all the original events, and just render the audio to a new WAV file, then use it on your final composition.

    The location of the automatic overlap of multi-selected media is on the Options|Preferences…|Editing tab about halfway down. There is a checkbox to turn this on and off, and spinner controls to change the amount of overlap. See below.
