rendering Quicktime in Vegas 12

[Larry Brewer]

All drives have hundreds of GBs of empty space.

My experience is that cable systems and even broadcast stations, while having their own strict guidelines, the guy that actually imports the files into the playback system could care less. I’ve already rendered mpg for these spots so I’ll send those while I try to work out this QT issue.

All my QuickTime issues in the past had to do with running an updated version of QuickTime Pro. My current version is 7.6.8. Does that need to be rolled back?

Looks like a bug, have you reported it to SCS?

No, I assume they know how their QuickTime implementation works. I didn’t think it was a bug but rather an inefficient design.

Shoot, if that’s the case then just give them the 4:2:2 Mpeg and be done with it.

I have just tried to render to Quicktime format and crashed consistently.

Vegas 12 – Build 486
Quicktime 7.73.80.64

The only older version of Quicktime I could get my hands on was QT 7.6.6 which I installed to get the system working again.

Sony versus Apple -> customers lose every time!

UPDATE: Unfortunately, for me, my older version of Quicktime crashes as well. It just takes a bit longer.

I don’t know what to try next. My problem has only come up with the lastest Vegas build (486) so I may have to revert to an older build to keep my clients happy.

Thanks for the input Bernie. My quicktime issues have not been corrected and I was excited to see your post.

Unfortunatly for me though, Quicktime 7.6.6 did not do the trick.

So, to date, I have reloaded Vegas to the most recent build, and reloaded quicktime with the most recent version, and now an older version and still no results when rendering Quicktime files. Crashes everytime. Usually around 25%.

I think it’s me. Maybe a bad codec, or something.

[Bernie Lademann]

Perhaps I didn’t make myself clear. The older version of QuickTime did not solve it for me either. It was the multi-thread setting in Vegas that fixed it.

I honestly didn’t see your update when I replied. Not sure if it was actually displayed. I know I had only one email showing your first post. But that’s a moot point now.

I had installed build 486 when it first came out. It quickly gave me fits with thumbnail creation causing crashes. So I reverted to an earlier build to solve that problem. A workaround for the thumbnail came along so I re-installed build 486. Next session I edit requires a Quicktime render for delivery. And then Vegas 486 crashes on Quicktime render. And that’s where I’m at today.

So in your case turning off multi-threading solved the issue. I’ll try that…

No luck changing the setting from 8 threads to 4 threads. Do you set it to a lesser setting than 4?
