Shift+B Render to Ram problem
Hi,
When I select an area on the timeline with effects I hit Shift+B and the selected area collapses to a very short section and creates no pre-rendered playback. Anybody know what is happening?

You might have your Dynamic RAM set to zero. Check it in your preferences (Options | Preferences | Video | Dynamic RAM Preview max (MB)). The amount of RAM allocated is directly proportional to how long your can make a RAM preview.

Thanks,
I had it set to 128 due to a utube recomendation. I’m new.
Set it to 2,000 and it worked.

Be careful not to keep it that high when you render. Dynamic RAM preview steals memory from other functions in Vegas so it’s a good idea to set it back down before memory intensive tasks like rendering.

SO what number is safe? thank you

On my XP (32bit) box with 2GB RAM, the max Movie Studio HD 10 will let me allocate is 1GB. I generally have 512MB allocated to preview and this seems to work OK, but I don’t have particularly long or complex projects. 512MB is only enough for about 25secs of preview cache at quarter-size preview of full HD. You probably want as large a cache as you can get, without sucking up the resources you need for everything else that’s running.

It depends on how much memory your computer has and what OS you are using. At the bottom of that window is a button that says Restore Defaults. When you press it, it will reset to a number that is safe for your computer.
