network rendering
Has the networkrendering completely disappeared from Vegas Pro 10C?

Yes it has.

OK (or should I say not OK? 🙂 ) Thanks!

Theo, you’re not the only one who is upset by this decision.
Numerous users on other forums have complained loudly to no avail 🙁 -
It was my impression that Network Rendering only worked for DV AVI files (not HD). Since DV is (1) a dieing format and (2) processed incredible quickly by today’s quad core computers, it hardly seems like a feature that anyone will miss. I know I never used it.
I know some people found that using it on you primary workstation seemed to workaround memory problems with rendering. The real fix is for Sony to address the memory problems. I don’t know if anyone noticed but Vegas Pro 10 has a separate FileIOSurrodate process now. Perhaps that is part of the fix? I don’t know.
I honestly can’t complain one way or the other because I never used network rendering.

To add to what John said, Network Rendering was needed when the top of the line PC was a 486 running at 300 MHz. It’s an anachronism today when a 3GHz Quad Core will finish a render faster than it would take to get a network render started. And it only worked with renders, never with encoded formats, which is what almost everyone is using today.

I miss it a great deal — to the point of using Vegas 9 for a recent project.
My workflow entailed some basic head/tail trimming of source mxf files and encoding them for the web. Being able to do that, save the project and submit for network encoding (even on my same machine) was a better workflow for me vs. having 50 sessions of Vegas 10 up and running and competing for CPU to encode.
This feature is in all of the competing tools; and I really hope it comes back to Vegas.

Well, Sony need to reinstate network rendering and quickly.
It would be fantastic to be able to use it to render H264 files, even with a set of quad core machines networked together.
My main client (TV News) now wants all vision encoded to H264, and network rendering would save so much time at my end.
Do unto others…
