Sony Vegas Pro 10.0 Crashes Rendering Large Project

[Steve Rhoden]

My first question is why are you rendering out as
MainConcept AVC/AAC format for burning to DVD?

And also if you have to render out in .mp4 version, use
the Sony AVC render output instead, more stable
and greater quality.

@Steve Rhoden I forgot to mention in my original post that I don’t have much experience with this, I just assumed MainConcept was the best, I will try Sony AVC and get back to you, thanks.

[Steve Rhoden]

The Sony AVC shouldn’t fail on you.

But still, if your render is for going to DVD,
the mpeg2 template/format is what you should be rendering to.

If you just want to make a data DVD, then fine. If you want to make a Set Top Box playable DVD then you need to use one of the VEGAS DVD templates that WILL produce the files you need to make a DVD.

Here is my chain of workflow:-

1] Import my footage and set my Project Settings to match.

2] Edit.

3] Now, I either render directly to DVD files OR, depending on the complexity of the Edit – this equates to the demands placed in my PC by my extravagant EDIT – make an intermeadiate lossless file OR go straight to the DVD file template for those DVD files.

4] import those DVD files into SONY DVDA to make the DVD.

You will have further questions, I just know you will, go ahead and ask.

Beginning is just the beginning. I’ve made a very useful career out of “beginning”!

HI Steve,
Do you think it’s possible to downgrade from vegas 10 to 9 and bring all my files with it ? kind of open my files that I edited on 10 to finish it on vegas 9 ? I’ve been having lots of problems ( crashing) cineform avi files. I contacted cineform and they said the problem is on sony vegas side. I did not have any problem with vegas 9, so I decided to downgrade so I can finish my project.However, I am not sure if it is possible to move my files to vegas 9.
thanks

You cannot open a version 10 veg file in Vegas 9. It may be possible to do a timeline to timeline copy from version 10 to 9, but I have not tried it.

Are you using 10e? I recently had issues with a 10c project that I was able to successfully render using 10e/11.

My system specs: Intel i7 970, 12GB RAM, ASUS P6T, Vegas Pro 10e (x32/x64), Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, Vegas Production Assistant 1.0, VASST Ultimate S Pro 4.1, Neat Video Pro 2.6

Hey Nigel, thanks for the input. I will try to do the copy from time line to time line. Thanks

Steve, I did what you said and rendered to Sony AVC and it worked fine no crashes, the problem I have now is the framerate, when I watch the movie it lags and I can’t seem to fix it with trial and error, I have rendered a bunch of small tests using various framerates and messing around with the settings, but none seem to work, would you or anyone else happen to know the ideal render settings for a smooth picture?

The video was recorded in 60 fps and I have been rendering to 29fps NTSC and 24fps Film, while changing some of the settings hoping to get the right combination.

Graham,

I fully understood your post until I got to step 3 and then my brain melted, where you say depending on the complexity of the edit you would render directly to DVD files or lossless, I assume you are referring to how much editing has been done, and in this case, virtually none, all I did was cut some parts out and add some colour curves, so what would you recommend for me? and I will need you to go into some detail because as I mentioned before, I have no idea what I am talking about here, thank you.
