Sony Vegas 12 won’t complete rendering.

[Graham Bernard]

[Classique Mind] “I try to save my project and it stalls between 3-6%”

Firstly do you COMPLETE the render? Or are you saying that the render ONLY gets you 3>6%?

A series of standard starter questions.

1/- What Media are you using? Is it ALL the same media?

2/- What FX-ing; compositing; Track Motion are you using?

3/- What are your Project Settings?

4/- What are you rendering to?

5/- What Version and Build Number of Vegas are you using?

6/- What are the specs of your PC? And Operating system? Make aned version of Graphics Card?

7/- Where is your operating system residing?

8/- Where is your media residing?

9/- Is the inside of your PC free from dust?

Please answer these.

The less info you provide, the more we ask. Can’t do it any other way.

Cheers

Grazie

The render won’t complete. It starts then begins to stall. I let it sit overnight and it was still at the same percentage.

7/- Where is your operating system residing? C Drive? I dont understand the question. Sorry I am limited in my tech knowledge.

8/- Where is your media residing? On a separate partition. F Drive. Also on an external hd. Two separate places

9/- Is the inside of your PC free from dust? Yes just cleaned it two days ago.

[Graham Bernard]

OK, very thorough response.

1/- What Media are you using? Is it ALL the same media?

Yes all the same media from my Fraps recording program and the audio is all mp3

So, what is the format of the “FRAPS” content?

2/- What FX-ing; compositing; Track Motion are you using? – Nothing here?

3/- What are your Project Settings? https://screenshotuploader.com/s/01/46mffz0yn Do your Settings Match your “FRAPS” content – whatever that is?

4/- What are you rendering to? MainConcept Mp4- internet 1080 HD –

Until we can establish just how much work Vegas is needing to do, with possible mismatch of Settings to Media, this could be a factor. Also, please try and render a SMALL section to another Format, not MainConcept one.

5/- What Version and Build Number of Vegas are you using? Sony Vegas 12 64-bit Build 394 – I see you’ve had Vegas 11 installed on your machine? Is it still there? Was THIS Project created in VP11?

6/- What are the specs of your PC? And Operating system? Make aned version of Graphics Card?

System appears good.

Is your GPU one that is recommended by Sony for Graphical and Render Acceleration?

7/- Where is your operating system residing? C Drive? I dont understand the question. Sorry I am limited in my tech knowledge.

It would appear your operating system is on your C drive. Yes?

8/- Where is your media residing? On a separate partition. F Drive. Also on an external hd. Two separate places

How is your external drive connected to the PC? USB or firewire?

9/- Is the inside of your PC free from dust? Yes just cleaned it two days ago.

Well, that’s good. But what pushed you to do it 2 days ago?

There’s much for you to answer. My money is on a mismatch of your “FRAPS” media attempted to be rendered to an MC Template outputting to an MP4 Format PLUS a mixed in MP3 audio.

I’ve created several projects with my Fraps program and have never had this issue. It is just this project. I try to clean my computer every couple weeks that’s what prompted me to do it two days ago. I created it in VP11 and then upgraded because of the same issue. I thought the upgrade would help but it did not. The FRAPS screen recording program outputs the video files in AVI. The track composite and FX varies for each clip. It is several clips. External drive is connected via USB. I have tried to render small clips of the project using different encoders and the results were all the same. I even tried to export it into Adobe Premiere but it would not recognize the sequence. Is it possible for us to do a screenshare on teamviewer or join.me?

[Classique Mind] “I’ve created several projects with my Fraps program and have never had this issue.”

Well, you do now. What has changed? Different PC?

[Classique Mind] ” I try to clean my computer every couple weeks that’s what prompted me to do it two days ago”

Commendable, if a a wee bit obsessive? Once a year does me.

[Classique Mind] “. I created it in VP11 and then upgraded because of the same issue.”

On the same machine that was working? Try starting a BRAND new project SIMPLE project and try rendering out.

[Classique Mind] “. I thought the upgrade would help but it did not.”

What Build of VP11 were you using?

[Classique Mind] “The FRAPS screen recording program outputs the video files in AVI”

Sure, AVI is the container. It’s what’s inside that you need to find out and THEN establish if you have the CODEC for it.

[Classique Mind] ” The track composite and FX varies for each clip.”

How many “Events” – when you place any Media on the Timeline it becomes an EVENT. Many changes of FX and compo and so force more work for VP.

[Classique Mind] “. External drive is connected via USB”

Well, that could be ONE of the choke points. Try getting the media to a fast connected internal drive.

Transferred all my media to my internal ssd, turned GPU acceleration off, switched to CPU only, and still having the same issue. I can’t recall what version of Vegas 11 I was using. Started a new project and still have the same issue.
