Shift B < Render to new track

[László Kovács]

Hi,
I used to use shift-M in Vegas10 (selective prerender) very frequently.
In V14 I need it much less ?
That does not require a new track, renders the selected portion of timeline to a preview file.
I always use lagarith for that purpose, but I guess other codecs do it as well…

Best regards

Yes, a lossless codec such as lagarith is the way to go.
Or uncompressed AVI (if you don’t mind ridiculously large file sizes) lol

I’m not seeing lagarith anywhere
The main focus is just to have plugins and color correction etc on an event be done with and now I have that event to work with fresh. – I used to do all of my editing as close as possible then render the whole file to XAVC S Long then start chopping up the events again how I want them from the one big file – I realize now that its better time wise to just do that in the same timeline by rendering to a new track and deleting the previous event with a fresh one.
Since I’m not seeing lagarith anywhere is it Ok I still keep using the XAVC S .mxf files as the fresh events?

The hyperlink doesn’t work for me
The COW says 404
and has lost her way in the pasture.
I’m guessing if I just google it and see the download links – still don’t know how to install in Vegas to render –
I don’t see why me exporting to XAVC S is a bad idea –
Since I am shooting in the XAVC S codec it shouldn’t it be lossless? Or if not, an unnoticeable amount?

First install you codecs on your computer and restart the computer.
If it is an .avi container – you will find the new codec in Video for Windows!

[Derek Charles]

Thanks I’ll try that –
Since I am shooting in the XAVC S codec it shouldn’t be lossless? Or if not, an unnoticeable amount? File size is a concern as well.

I’m sorry, I messed up the link with copy/paste.

Now I don’t try to make it clickabel, just put here:

So from here you can download lagarith.
I like it, because it compresses well, it is lossless, and extremely fast, and can use RGB (computer) colors
For sreencaptures, and intermediate renders I always use lagarith.
