    Is it possible for a one hour project in vegas 6 to have a message of 15 hours of render time for the prerender files before printing to tape…

    Almost impossible…

    Totally possible. All sorts of things can cause that, even accidental bumps of your track opacity could be adding to it.

    If this is 15 hours to prerender for ptt, maybe you should make sure you just render the thing and save the rendered file. You can even cut things into the rendered file later on rather than making a change and having to render everything again.

    If you put a DV-AVI file on the timeline and then PTT, it will NOT have to do any more “prerendering”.

    15 hours for a 1 hour video IS possible. Typically, mine take much less than that. Without knowing anything about the project (and possibly seeing the VEG file) there’s really no way to tell if 15 hours is “appropriate” for your project.

    Even if you render to sony yuv your next render to ptt won’t take that long. The only reason the current ones taking 15 hours is that there’s some serious processing to do. If you do it once to a fairly good format, like YUV or uncompressed then you won’t have to go through all of that again.
