Sony Vegas Pro 11 will not render

[Sarah Jones]

…Okay.

[Val Murrell]

“Windows Font Cache Service”

“Windows Presentation Foundation Font Cache 3.0.0”

that is what worked for me using vegas pro 11

Hi Guys,

I had a very similar problem with pro 12. All of a sudden it started freezing as soon as I hit the “Render as” button. Render window never used to open. I tried reinstalling Pro and restoring the system to an earlier date but nothing worked. I was about to reinstall my Windows OS tomorrow, when I happen to read this thread. Thanks to Sarah, my problem got solved after I disabled the exactly the same two services.
Infact, I had opened a new thread with my problem a couple of days back in this forum and was waiting for a response. Thanks again for Sarah.

[Stephen Mann] “Since the Font Cache loads all of your installed fonts in RAM, it denies that RAM from other programs. Some power-users delete fonts they will never use. Also, if the Font Cache service encounters a bad or damaged font file, it may just keep retrying to load the bad font – forever. (High CPU usage and “not responding” are symptoms). (I guess the programmers at MS never thought that you could have a bad font file?)”

very good observation, this is specially critic if you use Google Chrome before using Vegas, since there’s a Chrome bug if a font is not properly installed or corrupted it would cause high CPU usage (100% load on one core) and weird crashing / issues to whatever software you run after that. I never use Google Chrome when I need to run Vegas, also deleting the fonts cache from time to time does help, very good info.

files to look for and delete from time to time:

fontcache3.0.0.0.dat
fontcache-fontface.dat
fontcache-system.dat

usually located in bootdrive :Windows ServiceProfiles LocalService AppData Local
