HUGE rendering times?

I used to use Vegas a lot but got tired of the many issues (error messages after hours of rendering). I’m back because I fundamentally like the program, but I made a very simple 30 minute movie and the render time is over 19 hours! Unbelievable.

I’d like to reply to my own comment because it’s misleading. I have worked with the Vegas Movie Studio series a lot over the years but moved to another program due to frustration particularly around rendering, but overall, it’s a compelling program with a lot of amazing capability for the money.

I did something wrong in my recent rendering effort that took about 24 hours to render. I have now re-done the rendering effort, and the 30 minute movie should render in about 2 hours. This is consistent with what I remember from before–it’s about 2 times the project time. I am rendering as a Quick Time file hoping that’s a useful format.

I’ve found some very good tutorials on Youtube that I hope will allow me to master this program once and for all!
