    So here I am rendering a video into my usual youtube format and I leave my computer rendering. When I come back it says Error during rendering. Your memory is low, please close all applications and try again. This happens whenever I try to use 1280 by 720 or HD setting while using wmv. Weird! This is out of the blue and hasn’t happened before. Any suggestions? Also, sometimes after the video has rendered cropped items will appear in a different place then they were when I was working on the project. Help there? Thanks!

    My only suggest is to not use WMV. Most of the people who come here with low memory problems are rendering to WMV. Use Sony AVC instead.

    I agree that i would prefer to render with the mp4 codec, but this doesn’t help when the client wants .wmv

    I have bought 2 programs to do what vegas should do but for some reason wont or cant.

    1-Power director for .wmv – it is consumer software that uses gpu and cpu (all cores) and will render .wmv, mp2 etc MUCH faster than vegas.

    2- Pro Producer 4 – for still montages – I can load full res stills w/ cropping, zooming, blurring, crazy effects, and it all plays in real time.

    I have been using Vegas since ver 3 and with each new rev after 7.0 there is a new set of problems. Thanks Sony!

    These 2 programs are cheap and i use then along with Vegas.
    I wish Sony would look at what these programs are doing and incorporate them into Vegas.

    You could always render uncompressed out of Vegas and use Microsoft’s free WMV encoder too. I agree that WMV should work right out of Vegas without issues.

    Whats the other best way to render a video for youtube?

    For YouTube I would use the Sony AVC render type with one of the Internet templates that are specifically designed by the Sony engineers for sites like YouTube.
