Rendering Issue
-
Robert, I am glad to hear that it too worked for you.
To be honest, I have no idea as to what the issue was really. Strangely enough, Vegas Pro (12 and 13) had been working OK until that moment I started to suffer the “low on memory” problem. This was right after some software updates including the video driver as well as Windows’s own updates, I recall. I tried to revert back all the changes immediately after I noticed the “low on memory” error but could no longer solve the problem until I turned off GPU acceleration. I was vaguely assuming that Vegas Pro somehow had trouble properly managing memory (whether RAM, Virtual, Pagefile) with all the software intricate configurations that I could never possibly understand. In any case, my GPU (nVidia GTX650Ti) is far from powerful from the Vegas Pro perspective and turning off GPU acceleration is not an issue for me. I much prefer a peace of mind (than frequent rendering crashes) 😉

Me to hate issues.I like things to go on without issue if possible. Anyway I got that project off in the mail so that’s good. Well thanks again and im sure we will chat again.

The 6XX nVidia range hasn’t been successful for GPU rendering. Do a search on this card for its us in VP. The sweet spot for nVidia at this level was the 5XX series. Mine is the GTX560ti. It has to do with the way the architecture deals with processing. You’ve just now proved this. If you wish to know more, do a search with these factors in mind here’s just one such, back in June this year on the official Sony Vegas Pro site, John Rofrano makes for clear reading and explains much of the way how these GP cards “deal” with GPU rendering; Timeline viewing and card varieties and the either switching ON or OFF GPU rendering: https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/forums/showmessage.asp?forumid=4&messageid=927124
As I say, I have an nVidia GTX560ti, which has and is working admirably but is starting to look long in the tooth. As new developments in Plugs and higher resolutions become commonplace, the requirement for the implemention of more “powerful” and better optimised kit will be inevitably
forced on me to change-up. Was it ever thus.Grazie

Dear Lord Bernard,
What a honor to receive a suggestion from one of the elite experts here !! Actually I’ve been following the SCS forum for a couple of years by now (I rarely speak anywhere) and am fully aware that the last nVidia GPU which is supported by Vegas Pro is the 5xx model. In fact, on the basis of a very helpful message by the yet-another elite expert John Rofrano, I managed to obtain an HD5870 to confirm the points (Fermi/Kepler/Cuda/OpenCL). The HD5870 card indeed gave me a better timeline performance as well as the rendering speed in Vegas Pro on my PC. However, my PC is a Shuttle SZ77R5, a small cube PC and due its small real estate, an HD5870 generated a significant amount of heat and thus fan noise hence I switched it back to GTX650Ti. Again I preferred a piece of mind than headaches (even at the cost of speed). Maybe next time I build a PC, I intend to try out one of the reputable AMD cards that are in discussion here and there. (Having said that, I still wonder why Premiere Pro’s timeline performance is much better than what Vegas Pro gives me even with GTX650Ti.) Thank you again for your kind suggestion.

[Shinra Bansho] “Having said that, I still wonder why Premiere Pro’s timeline performance is much better than what Vegas Pro gives me even with GTX650Ti.”
Because Adobe is using the proprietary NIVIDIA CUDA API which doesn’t work with AMD cards but takes full advantage of your GTX650Ti and Sony choose to use the OpenCL API which works with all GPU cards but works better with AMD than NVIDIA.

Hi, John. Thank you for your response. I am THRILLED to receive one from you! (I feel as if I got an autograph from a movie star 😉 If Adobe could, I suppose that Sony Creative could have also done the same for Vegas Pro and its faithful fans (including me) as well as, strategically, potential users. I feel a bit jealous about Adobe’s support. Over the past few months, people here and there talk about the pessimistic future of Vegas Pro (“no version 14” etc) but I just hope that Vegas Pro will survive and develop with a higher level of zealous support from Sony Creative.

Hi Shinra, I’m just another guy trying to help wherever I can but, Thank You for the compliment. I am truly humbled by it. IMHO, Sony would be foolish to support CUDA like Adobe did. Open standards are the future and Sony already supports OpenCL. CUDA locks you into using NVIDIA and vendor lock-in is a bad thing. Sony is developing Catalyst Edit which I assume will one day replace Vegas Pro but nobody knows for sure what their plans are but them. Hopefully Catalyst Edit is the rewrite that Vegas Pro has been needing for quite a while so that would be a good thing. We’ll just have to wait and see. I use a Mac now and Catalyst Edit runs great on a Mac so I’m hoping this is the case.

It’s a real pity if Sony Creative ceases to develop Vegas Pro, if not maintain, but as you say it could well be the time for them to move on also from marketing perspective. I agree that we need to wait and see. In the meantime, I intend to stick with Vegas Pro for some more time as I like the NLE.

Apple discontinued Final Cut Pro 7 over 4 years ago and people are still using it every day for their work. Many people here are still using older versions Vegas Pro 9, 10, 11, etc.. I wouldn’t stop using Vegas Pro just because Sony has said that there won’t be a Vegas Pro 14. It f works for you… keep using it.
