Vegas 7.0 rendering problem
I’ve been trying to render a project in Vegas 7.0 but it keeps crashing,freezing or shutting down.
I had previously rendered a portion of the video with no problems, but then when I was finishing up the project the program would start to freeze and shut down.
I have tried to render from different points, to different formats, and have shutdown some tracks to see if it was a specific media causing the problem, no luck.
Most of the media I am using is mpeg 2, with some wmv and mp4. I’ve used this mix in the past with no problem.
Other projects will render fine.
I just don’t want to rebuild the entire project again. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance. -

It could be several things, depending primarily between the length of your video, the effects and other adjustments you’re using, and how much RAM you have on your computer. Its specs.
I was using Vegas 7 on my old laptop (only 2Gb), and while it worked well with shorter videos with not a lot of effects, it worked fine. But longer videos, or those with a lot of stuff going on, would result in a shutdown.
From what I know, it’s just the computer’s defense from overheating.
If you’re using a laptop, try and elevate it so there’s no direct surface contact. Or, better yet, get one of those cooling-mat/laptop fans. I’ve even put my laptop outside in December or so to help keep it cool while it was rendering. All of this helped.
Give it a try. Let me know how it works. If this doesn’t help, I’d recommend rendering your video in segments–preferably uncompressed as AVIs–then clipping and editing these all together into your final rendered project. You MIGHT have a slight quality loss–I’ve done it without anything being too noticeable–but at least you’ll have a finished product! -
Thanks for the reply.
I have tried rendering the video in segments in different formats, but I have never tried avi. I will try that now.
Actually, I guess I didn’t explain it correctly, but the program will shut down not the computer. The crash, program shut down happens with in the first few minutes.
Will keep you up to date. Thanks
