  • I get an error when rendering

    I get this error everytime I try to render this project, whether it’s the whole project or just a part of it. It works till a certain point and then I get what you see in the pic:

    Check which filter/fx you have on the particular event that
    the render fails….Change/remove the filter or change the
    event and try rendering again. (worth trying).

    It’s not a particular event, it’s the whole project. No matter which portion I select to render it will do the same thing. Right now I’m trying to convert some of the files I used. Maybe mp4 isn’t that suitable for SV :/

    Yes its suitable for Vegas.
    Btw, whats the file format of what you have in Vegas?
    And i see you are using Vegas 9, i remember having render
    issues with 9 with some new camera formats.

    omg that was it -_- I should have done that before posting the question. I panicked (like always when it comes to SV) and rushed over here for nothing…

    Mp4 might be suitable for vegas but it’s never worked on mine. It always gives me problems. Either with the rendering or it makes the preview lag. I converted all of them to avi and it rendered now.

    [Seranya Myor] “Mp4 might be suitable for vegas but it’s never worked on mine. “

    MP4 is a broad specification so when Steve says it’s suitable for Vegas, he is talking about MP4 files that come from moderately priced video cameras. If this was some MP4 file downloaded from YouTube or from a cheap $99 camera or something, then it’s probably not good for editing in Vegas and is probably at the root of your problem since it’s the FileIOSurrogate that is having the problem and this is the part that’s reading the file formats to/from your hard drive.

    Yeah those were some mp4 files downloaded from youtube and that was the problem. I was just glad to finally find some other type that actually OPENS in vegas and doesn’t occupy hundreds of mb/min so I didn’t bother to convert them. It seems I have no choice though.

    [Seranya Myor] “…and doesn’t occupy hundreds of mb/min”

    Hard drives are cheap. Buy a bigger one. Small file sizes usually means lots of compression which means it’s not going to be easy to edit… so editing video requires large hard drives.
