Failure to Render
I’m working on a multi-part video where I’m creating each part in a separate veg file with the goal of creating one final master veg to assemble the parts into one video. I’ve got one 3.5 minute veg that simply will not render. Each video event has the same effects, Sony Brightness and Contrast, Color Corrector (Secondary), and BCC Glint. On top of that the video track has a BCC noise reduction effect.
At first it would just fail at 21% complete and Vegas would crash. I tried rendering the veg by nesting it in another veg bet it still failed at 21% but this time that status box still read 21% complete yet the “Open” “Open Containing Folder” and “close” buttons were highlighted like they would be had the render been 100% and successful. When I opened the resultant video it played fine up until what I guess is the 21% point which at that time all the cross fades turn to cuts and there are occasional black spots where the video gets skipped. After one of these strange renders Vegas interface gets all scrambled up with strange blocks of color.
I found an audio file at the exact spot where the video goes bad and that audio file was using some nonrealtime audio event effects. I rendered that audio file by itself and replaced it with a file with the effects already baked in and now the veg renders to 51% with the same problems – I get a video file that starts going bad at around 51%. But I don’t see anything unusual about the events at that time.
I’ve tried fresh reboot before rendering with no other programs running. I set the Vegas application to highest priority as well. But no dice. I tried rendering to the MainConcept (mp4)Internet HD 720p and 1080p options. The original footage (MTS files) was taken on my Sony HXR-NX5U cameras. GPU rendering option is set to auto.
I have 12 gigs of memory but I still think there’s a resource issue going on here. My next step would be to render the video in two parts to some full rez losseless format. But this is only a trick I’ve used for long videos of an hour or more. Not sure why I’m having to resort to these measures.
Any thoughts? The veg is here if that helps:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80092785/06-LastDance-01.vegWhat’s the best render option for a lossless file that’s not huge like an AVI would be?
Thanks for any tips you may have.

I couldn’t open the veg file – there’s a missing transition plug-in.
You don’t say why you are rendering lossless, but all lossless renders will be huge.

You may not have the Luminance plug-in transition used throughout.
The reason I’m looking for a good lossless format is because I appear to be forced into a situation where I’m going to have to render this short 3.5 min video in at least two parts. By disabling GPU render I’m up to 64% before it craps out. So I will render two separate halves and use the rendered videos as part of my master veg instead of nesting this problem veg which won’t render. So I want the best quality that won’t degrade when it gets rendered again. So if not lossless, maybe if I just use the same render format as the final production will be (i.e. HD MainConcept internet 1080p) Vegas won’t have to mess with it when I render the master?

Who makes the Luma transition?
Have you tried turning off preview GPU?Steve Mann

The only other thing on the Luminance transition are the letters “DXT” whatever that means… it’s an old plug-in for which I know of no replacement.
So how does one turn off preview GPU?
I’m thinking it’s got to be one of the BCC effects… I suspect GLINT. I rendered the entire master video from veg files last night. It made it all the was to the final part with all the Glint effects… same file that crashes on it’s own. At least I’ve had luck rendering that veg in two parts so at least I’m not totally sunk.

I have BCC8, so Luma transition is not there or it would have loaded with your veg file.
Preview GPU is in the Preferences. Encoding GPU is in the “Render As” templates.
