  Vegas 8.0 Render Freeze

  Posted by Jarrod Walsh on November 2, 2009 at 2:02 am

  Would love some help as soon as possible.

  I am attempting to render a 7 minute videos which consists several short clips, and three mp3 songs underneath.

  When rendering to an .mp4 file Vegas will freeze the render process and almost always crash between the 30% – 80% mark.

  I purchased my computer two weeks ago with 6GIG of Ram and a powerful processor, and never seem to have issues with short videos.

  Could Autosave be the cause?
  Could it be the file type?

  Would love help asap as I am on deadline.

  Cheers

  Totally random thoughts here.
  Convert the MP3s to WAVs and try it again.
  Render as an AVI file (use Best mode) and then render that to mp4.

  Thanks for your advice.

  This is really strange, but it was definitely the audio which was causing the problem. When I did the initial render, it got past 50% and began to render the audio, and then crashed.

  So as a last ditch effort I rendered the video with no audio, it worked fine.

  Then I re-rendered this time accompanying the audio and it worked perfectly.

  Can you explain why this happens?

  Cheers
