Quicktime render problem
When attempting to render a Quicktime movie, HD 180 x 1920, Sorensen 3, the rendering completes immediately and the render window displays 100% complete. But in fact, no rendering was done and there is no .mov file.
What am I doing wrong?

Do you, perhaps, have ‘render loop region’ checked and only have a small region selected?
-
No. I checked render loop region and I have the entire clip selected. 5 mins of video, no audio.
-
I’m sure you do, but since you have no audio my next guess is that you don’t have Include Video checked in your render settings.
-
That would have been too easy. The include video box is checked.
I considered the “no audio” might be an issue for whatever reason. I’ve place a new clip on the timeline, with audio this time. I’ve checked both include audio and include video, and rendered nothing.
Same problem. The render process takes less the a half sec, the 100% complete window is displayed, but there is nothing in the folder. Not even the title of the clip I was supposed to be rendering.

I’m rendering a Sorensen 3, 1920×1080 video now and it’s working. My source is a 1920×1080 animation codec (just what I have handy). What version of Vegas are you using?
Does this problem only happen when you try rendering a .mov? Have you considered downloading and using the free, AvidDnX HD codec? It’ll provide a better file size anyway.

Vegas 9.0e
Intel Quad i7-930 2.8Ghz
12 GB RAM
4TB RAID 0I just walked across the room, installed a fresh copy of Vegas 9 onto a Dual core PC and rendered a quicktime in a matter of seconds.
So we both know it is supposed to work.
I have re-installed Vegas 9.0e onto the problem PC. I have upgraded quicktime recently. I wonder if the upgrade to quicktime might have caused this issue?
BTW.. thanks for the help so far.

Quicktime updates have caused issues with Vegas in the past. I am running 9b and I actually need to run QT 7.6.5 because any higher version will render .mov files all black. It’s tough to diagnose an issue that appears to be machine specific. Maybe somebody else has experienced this and can chime in.

I got a little behind in the thread so this is where I am on the problem. Yes I can render other formats, avi, wmv, mpg… that all still works.
I’ve located an older download of quicktime that I saved. I going to install that on another boot drive with a new install of vegas and see what happens.
I’m thinking the Quicktime upgrade is the culprite.

The older quicktime install 7.6.5 solves the problem. Now I’ll put that version on the primary boot drive and try it again.
Fingers crossed!

Wow, that’s quite a bug.
