Sony Vegas Pro 9 Rendering Problem
-
oh, Can I have a link?

Hey John.
I see you have 25 Year owner/operator of two California-based production studios. COOL!
I wanted to ask you. I’m planing on getting Vegas Pro 9 soon (or whatever is better) and will be doing training videos for a large corporation.
What I need is not only a great program for editing with some FX, but also a program and a system that can render the vids fast.
Many of these vids could be 1 hour long and from what I’m hearing from others, that would take days to render 1 vid!
Some will be rendered to DVD (if that’s possible). BTW – can you render to DVD’s and if so can you do it on the fly? Also is that faster? Sorry… still new at all this.
We will have DVD’s for our reps but some of the vids will be uploaded for webinar training.
So what special equipment do I need? If money is no object, (beside a 100 core mac) what else do I need to speed this up?
Thanks!

I build all of my companies edit systems.They are all PCs and have either Core 2 Duo or Quadcore procs with 8 GB of ram, Sata System Drive and Dual Sata Drives in a Raid configuration for media. We use Windows Vista 64bit with no problems. With this configuration, rendering DV in Vegas 9.0b Pro 64bit is a snap – very fast! The same goes for DVD Architect. Vegas’s sister DVD authoring application.
We now shoot on AVCHD and, although not as easy to preview as DV, is pretty easy to edit and burn to both SD DVD and BluRay HD DVD. Some of the file types can be more of a problem. One of our cameras records to Quicktime MOV 1920 x 1080 HD files that are also Mp4. Those files will crash out both Vegas and Adobe Premiere CS4. We batch transcode these files, first, in ReCode (part of the Nero suite) and that works fine.
We have been using Vegas since its inception. We always give the other editing apps a shot – Adobe Premiere, Grass Valley Edius, Avid, even Final Cut on the Mac, but Vegas is, after the usual updates, the most stable, fluid and productive NLE out there. Just my opinion.

I realize this post has been out there a while and it doesn’t really appear there was resolution here either.
I am having these exact same problems where video doesn’t render, regardless of PC power, video size, etc.
Has anyone found a solution?

the way i fixed my problem was by deleting some of the unused tracks on my video project. i had a few clips that i had muted (audio) but left the video unmuted. by deleting those muted audio tracks, it ended up rendering fine. i think there must have been a problem with one of the tracks that was preventing it from rendering

Thanks. Yours seems like an even more unique issue. I looked and I don’t have any excess tracks or anything but I get to using quite a few tracks in my projects and never had that before.
What’s odd to me is that these rendering issues seem to get worse with each software update.
By the way, does anyone know if Vegas Pro 9 is compatible with the new Windows 7?

I have a seven minute video stretched to 11 minutes. I have some effects on just a few events. It’s only ONE track! 1 hour and 30 minutes time elapsed, approximately 10 hours to render and growing. Ridiculous. I’m just going from VOB to MPEG2, that’s all. Something is very wrong, Vegas 9 with the update and Windows 7 using 64 bit.

Well, I have another problem…I succesfully render the project as an .avi video and when I try to open it , it shows a black image for about 5″ and then the video ends….Can anyone tell me what should I do??

Wow man thank you so damn much!!, I didn’t think it would have worked but I had the exact same problem as you and your trick did the charm, thank you a million man XD.
