  • Images brought to the side when rendering?

    Posted by Amber Fox on April 9, 2019 at 6:42 pm

    So, I was rendering a project I’ve been working on for quite a while now. Although, when I finished it and was ready to render it;

    In the preview box, it doesn’t look like this at all! It only does it when I’m rendering it. (I have tried many times)
    There’s a lot of editing in this, and I don’t want to have re edit everything.
    Then again, I don’t know if that would fix anything,,
    Is there any way to fix this…?

    Hi amber,

    It’s difficult to tell what is going on be the limited data and screenshot you have provided, so there are many things you can try, which may or may not help.

    You could try a full reset of Vegas Pro. You can change the Preference > Video tab, acceleration of video processing to ‘None’ and use CPU only during rendering.

    Screenshots of your project settings, render template settings, screenshot of Mediainfo (in text mode) of your source media specs, and a little larger area screenshot of your preview window, all may help members to help you.

    Best Regards……George

    Here are the settings;



    (Note, it only does the strange image to the side when rendering or clicking on the “Copy Snapshot to Clipboard” button)
    I also apologize for not being able to find the Mediainfo area.

    Your preview screen says the Project is 1920 x 1080 .. but your Project details say 1280 x 720 .. ??? .. Which is it?

    Hi Amber,

    Did you try the full reset? Hold down the ‘Ctrl+Shift’ keys while you double left click on the Vegas Pro desktop shortcut. When the little window pops up, click in the box ‘Delete all cached application data’, then left click ‘Yes’. This will reset Vegas Pro to it’s original installation settings and delete the pesky cached application data that will sometimes build up cause Vegas Pro to do strange things.

    Also, have you changed the setting in Preferences > Video (tab) ‘Accelerate video processing’ to ‘None’?

    Did any of the changes help?

    Mediainfo can be downloaded here: https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo

    Start Mediainfo, select the ‘View’ tab and then select ‘Text’ mode. Then select the ‘File’ tab and load your source media. Then post a screenshot of the spec’s report.

    Best Regards……George

    I just did the Full Reset, although now it’s going to the side the whole time.

    I did notice that it changed from Draft (Full) to Preview (Auto), would that have anything to do with it…?

    Here’s what I got when I opened my file and selected text;

    I’m not exactly sure what that’s all about.

    But, I have done a full reset and I’m sure the size is just 1920 x 1080

    Hi Amber,

    I did notice that it changed from Draft (Full) to Preview (Auto), would that have anything to do with it…?“, No.

    Did you try: change the setting in Preferences > Video (tab) ‘GPU acceleration of video processing’ to ‘None’?

    Does that change anything?

    What is your source footage from, screen capture program, a camera, smart phone?

    Can you try the Mediainfo thing again, here is what one of my source files report, which is pretty typical, and as you can see provides a lot of detail….

    Also, have you done any Track Motion or Pan&Crop? Can you upload your .veg project file? It will not include any source media or sensitive stills, audio, or video, but I can then look at what you may have done in the timeline to cause your issue.

    Best Regards……George
