Another Freezing problem when rendering

[George Dean]

Hi Scott,

I’m only using the trial version of Magix Vegas pro 14 for testing, and then only using small projects. I have read many issues, some based on using mts type source media and others about large projects. All I have tested so far are some h.264, DNxHD, and ProRes source files and I have not expereinced any render issues. Can you provide more detail about your source, your project, and the render results?

Best Regards……George

Try disabling the GPU and see if that outcome changes!

What are the symptoms?
If CPU/GPU usage drops to zero, render does not progress, videocard behaves weird, maybe aero stops working?
And on subsequent render attempts the PC gets down onto knees?
I experienced the similar phenomenon, and having a brave idea, I replaced the fileIO plugins of Vegas14 with the ones from Vegas13. (I backed up the originals of course :))
After that everything works smooth and well in Vegas 14 😉

Thanks I would like to try this Laszlo! How do I replace the fileIO plugins?

I can find the folder for 13 but cannot seem to locate it for 14

Hi,

For me Vegas 14 is in “c:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 14.0”
Vegas 13 is in “c:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas Pro 13.0”
Under those folders are “FileIO Plug-Ins” folders.

My vegas 13 is the build 545, this is the Magix build of Vegas 13.

The easyest way is if you have a file manager like total commander. Make sure that both Vegas are closed, not running. Run the file manager with admin rights, and rename the “FileIO Plug-Ins” folder in Vegas14 to something else, say “FIOP”, just in case. Then copy the same named folder from the Vegas13 folder to Vegas14 folder. Start Vegas14 as normal, and try if it works for you. I did this way.
If something goes really wrong, close Vegas 14, delete the “FileIO Plug-Ins” folder, and rename the original fileio “FIOP” to “FileIO Plug-Ins”, so you’ll have the original state.

So it works for you too? :)))
You are very welcome!

I was near to get a heart attack few days ago, not able to render a quite simple project, and this dirty trick helped me out, and since then I run V14 with V13 FileIO, without issues so far.
I also reported to Magix what I did and why, and do hope they’ll be able to fix the bugs 😉
