Sony Vegas Pro 9.0 – – Rendering Problems (Low Memory)
When I try to render my 1 minute video in Sony Vegas, I get the following error:
“An error occurred while creating the media file ‘Myfilename’.
The system is low on memory. You may be able to reduce memory usage by closing other applications”
I have 3GB of RAM and was able to easily render a 2 minute video just last week. Nothing has changed since then.
PC Specs:
– Windows Vista 32-bit
– 3GB RAM
– 250GB Hard disk (C and D)I don’t know what to try, any help?

AVG Free 8.5
CCleaner
iTunes
Limewire
Mozilla Firefox
Nero 8
Sony Vegas 9.0 (of course)
Quick-Time
uTorrent
Windows Live Messenger
xfireThose are the ones I use on a daily basis, like I said, if you want a full list, just say, didnt have a lot of time so couldn’t right now.
Thanks for the interest

You may want to look in your task manager to see if Vegas is still running after you shut down instances of it. when I exit Vegas it still shows up in task manager and it is using memory. at the end of the day I have had a s many as 5 or 6 instances still running.. I think this is an audio driver issue, not sure though. (this problem is sometimes there & sometimes not)

This would make sense, as I close Vegas, and still it generates .sfk (Sound Forge peaK) files whenever I go to run Cineform NeoScene.

I downloaded 9.0a, but it still won’t render. The percentage locks at 4. The approx time remaining decreases as normal along with the elapsed time increasing. But it won’t budge from 4%.

Stefan,
Try:
In your Project Properties, set Dynamic RAM Preview to Zero (0).
Reboot.
Kill any and all anti-virus/internet security.
Check Windows Task Manager (CTRL-ALT-DEL) to see if there are any non-essential services, and then try again.
Please let us know how you do.

I mean, in your Project Properties, set Dynamic RAM Preview to Zero (0).
Then please let us know how you do.

I tried changing that to zero before, no change.
I have around 100 processes in task manager, which is too much(?). I’m not sure what is safe to end and what isn’t.
However, I don’t see why all this is necessary if I could easily render a longer video just a week ago. Nothing has changed since then

Will I lose anything with a system restore? Files, programs, etc.
