Rendered Video skips in Vegas Platinum 10.0
I have recently upgraded my office computer and am trying to render video with Sony Vegas Platinum 10.0. My system is a i7, Windows 7, 3.07GHZ, 64 bit, 8 GB system – bought specifically to handle video editing. When I try to render the project (2 mn. 44 sec. minimal effects) it renders quickly, but not matter what setting or output file (.avi, .mpeg, etc.) it is choppy.
On my old system I changed the hardware acceleration and this corrected any rendering issues, but on Windows 7 there is no longer and option to do so (display graphics on this system is ATI Redeon HD 5570). PLEASE HELP! I need to get these clips ready for board presentation.

What are you using to determine that the video is choppy? It could be fine and just your system is incapable of playing it back smoothly. That’s what you need to determine.
What template are you using to render the video?

It plays fine in the preview window, it plays fine in video players before I edit it, it only plays poorly after I render the changes. By choppy, I mean it plays and hesitates for a second, plays a few moments more, hesitates again. It doesn’t do this anywhere else.
Not sure what you mean by template, but the best rendering I’ve found so far is with these settings – type is NTSC DV Widescreen with these settings: Widescreen NTSC DV video files compatible with Sony Video Capture.
OpenDML compatible.
Audio: 48,000 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo, PCM
Video: 29.970 fps, 720×480 Lower field first, NTSC DV Wide
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.212I’ve used Vegas for years, but with the new system and not being able to change the hardware acceleration (this is what has fixes this problem in the past), I just don’t know how to make it flow properly.

sounds like your bitrate is higher than your decode can manage.
where are you seeing the choppiness? You’re rendering to DV, if this is for streaming…it’s not gonna work.Douglas Spotted Eagle

It’s odd that a computer that powerful can’t playback DV AVI footage smoothly. I can’t imagine why. What is the original source that plays smoothly. If that DV Widescreen AVI too?
Try playing the file back on another computer. If it plays smoothly then it’s not a problem with Movie Studio, it’s a problem with your computer playback. If it’s choppy on another computer then maybe the render is choppy to begin with?

Not sure about the bit rate. I’m just trying to do an AVI file or WMV file to play back on the computer for our board. I have used Vegas alot on my old system, but I’m not a tech guru, so I think there something else I’m missing. WhenI had this problem on my old system it was the hardware acceleration. But I can’t change that on my new system.

The original source was a DVD. I imported it directly into Vegas and the only editing I did was to trim it to shorten it. I never had this problem on my old system which was only about a 1/3 as powerful.
