Sony Vegas Pro 10 Windows 8 Rendering problems
1st, the setup that IS working: Windows 7 (64 bit) running Sony Vegas Pro 10 (64 bit), everything renders just fine. Not incredibly fast, but nothing to complain about. ALWAYS reliable.
The setup that isn’t working: newer HP laptop, Windows 8 (64bit) running Sony Vegas Pro 10 (64bit), out of about 7 tries today, it won’t completely render even once. It’ll stay at 0% the whole way or get 60ish% and hang up. Even though it is a much stronger computer in regards to processor and RAM, the rendering speed is as slow or slower than 1st computer mentioned above. HELP!!!
A couple of troubleshooting steps I’ve already found and implemented:
I changed the program compatibility to work as if it were in Windows 7.
I went into the “internal” tab on preferences and changed the “multi core rendering for playback” to FALSE.Even after those adjustments, I’m still having issues.

I honestly don’t mean to sound flippant, but why not just stay with what you know works? I’ve heard nothing but “stay away” from W8, and your W7/V10 sounds like “it ain’t broke”…

First reason is that I’m away from the office a lot with my other job and need to get video work done during my down time, second reason is I’d like to have it rendering while I’m in the office on my Win7 desktop, but yes, this is the tough part of upgrading/moving to new computer, etc…
I do have Sony Vegas Pro 11 but have not installed it yet because I used to have an XP computer in the mix and it won’t run Vegas 11, anybody know if that would fix my issue?

Neither Vegas Pro 10.0 or 11.0 “officially” support Windows 8. Vegas Pro 12.0 was the first release to support Windows 8. I suggest you upgrade to a supported version. You might want to download the trial of Vegas Pro 13.0 and see if it fixes your problem.

For what it is worth, I went ahead and put Vegas 11 on the Windows 8 machine. It was able to render the file successfully.
Now, if I could just get some input as to why my Windows 7 machine “locks” my vegas files and hides them from the other computers on my network. Each time I want to use a file across the network (my “live work” folder is on my windows 7 machine) I have to re-share the entire folder to make the .veg file visible again.
As always, thanks to everyone for any and all help. It truly is much appreciated.

Glad to see that Vegas Pro 11.0 fixed the problem for you. Thanks for letting us know. It\’s still not \”officially\” supported but you can\’t argue with success. 😉

True that it is not \”officially\” supported. Hoping that this is not a fluke.
I was much relieved with my immediate success. I was hesitant to upgrade (this is my 4th Vegas upgrade) as it almost always has some severe growing pains before finally getting settled in. Still fighting the current issue of trying to use Waves 5.0 audio plugins through Vegas on Win 8. I can use the same plugins with my audio editor, just not vegas. troubling and frustrating.

Been using a Dell XPS Windows 8.1 machine to run Vegas Pro 10e for nearly a year now without any issues.
So, supported or not, it CAN work (not that it helps your issue I’m sorry).

The latest update in this saga…
I’m now running exclusively Vegas 11. On my windows 8 laptop, it renders just fine. Now, on my Win 7 machine (that WAS working with Vegas 10) the rendering gets hung up.
I Need Help!

Is it just one project or is it every project. Some times one project gets corrupt and it’s impossible to render it. That’s when I usually cut and paste everything into new project and that usually helps.

Seems to be every project.
I did do some adjustments last night in Vegas 11 on my Win 7 machine. I put Vegas 11 in Windows Vista(vomit) compatibility mode and turned of GPU acceleration. Somehow that did the trick. My project finally rendered. Next time I have a project ready to go, we’ll see if that really fixed something or if it was a fluke. For the sake of anyone else researching this, I am up to date with Vegas 11 updates.
