Is there a way to pause rendering in Vegas?

[Mike Kujbida]

This is a feature a lot of us have been asking for for a VERY long time.
So far, nothing 🙁

[Edward Troxel]

No.

But there’s nothing stopping you from opening Vegas again and continuing working on whatever other projects you have.

To expand on Edward’s suggestion, you might want to drop the priority of Vegas so that this is easier.
Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up the Task Manager.
Then click the Processes tab.
Find Vegas in the list, right-click on it and “Set Priority – BelowNormal”.
Do this for each instance of Vegas that you have running.

Thanks, atleast something I can do in this regard. Also, I only have 1 GB of memory.
Would 2 GB help out, cause to editing something else while one Vegas is rendering is quite timeconsuming, although I have Athlon x2 4200+ CPU.

[Mike Kujbida]

2 GB of RAM would definitely help.
I noticed a substantial benefit on my old Athlon when I went from 1 GB to 2 GB.

[Jaanus Henno]

Thanks Mike, I’ll go to 2 GB then.

You can also check network render and continue in editing in the same project if you want..
