    Hi everyone,
    I’ve experienced a strange problem lately. It has never happened before. I have a project file .veg , that I’m unable to render. It gets stuck at 10%. Although the elapsed time counter and the approximate time left counter is still moving, I only see a still image in the preview window, and I only have 10% done of my film.
    I’ve tried moving the clips at 10%, bit to the left or right whatever.
    I’ve tried rendering it in different formats.
    I’ve restarted my PC several times.

    If you have any idea what should I do next, please let me know.
    Much appreciated!

    Any embedded veg files?
    Have you tried removing any unused media from the project media folder?

    Hi Steve, thanks for the tips.
    I have cleared my project media folder from unused files, I only have the files there now that I use for my project.
    What does the embedded veg files mean? My project is only one small veg file, 256 KB, approx 20 seconds. It’s a short commercial advertisement.
    I have Vegas Pro 9.0c by the way.

    Did that fix the problem?

    In Vegas 9 you can put a veg file on the timeline and Vegas will treat it like media. This way you can have an opening or closing scene that every project has, and instead of creating it every time, you just make it once and put the veg file for the scene on your project timeline.

    The reason I asked is that if your embedded veg file cannot locate missing media, Vegas won’t tell you and it just sits there forever marking time.

    A trick which has worked for me in the past is to open a second instance of Vegas alongside the faulty one, copy and paste the entire timeline into the new file, save and render this. Caution: you may have to copy and paste track movement settings separately.
