Cannot Customize MP4 Settings
I’m currently working with Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9 and I noticed that some of the rendering types have the option to customize the settings by hitting the “Custom…” button in the dialog that opens after clicking Render As…
The option that I used to use with Vegas 7 was the MainConcept AVC/AAC codec to save videos as small .mp4 files. However, the “Custom…” button for this is grayed out, and I click it. Fortunately, my old custom settings that I had saved still appear in the drop down box labeled “Template:” so I can use my old settings for now, but if I need to change settings, it appears that I will not be able to.
Is there anyway to allow for custom settings with the MainConcept AVC/AAC codec within Sony Vegas 9, or will I have to save templates from Sony Vegas 7? There are other codecs which have this same problem where I can not click the “Custom…” button, and there are others where I am able to click it and customize the settings as I see fit, but I’m not sure what the difference is between those I can and cannot customize.
All help is welcome 🙂
Thanks in advance,

Here is the quandary of your post…
Are you referring to sony vegas 7 or sony vegas movie studio 7 ?
Because if you move from vegas 7 (pro) to movie studio 9 that’s actually a downgrade.
Also the movie studio versions has many limitations and customizing
restrictions….due to the fact that they are not the professional
versions.Steve Rhoden

I was previously using Sony Vegas 7, not the Movie Studio. I still have my old Vegas installation on my computer, so I can just go ahead and get rid of Movie Studio 9.
After having a look at Sony’s website for myself, I see that there is a Sony Vegas Pro 8. Now, that would be the proper update to my current software, Sony Vegas 7, right? And if so, is it worth the upgrade? The main thing I want right now is something that will use more of my CPU to render videos. With Vegas 7 it’s using around 40-50% of my q6600 to render. I feel like I could be getting a lot more out of it :S

Then stick to Vegas 7Steve Rhoden
