Vegas 8 crashing every time I try to render! (ROUND TWO)
Back in September I had a rendering problem with Vegas 8.0c that has mysteriously returned despite my not dicking with any of the settings or trying to render anything I haven’t done dozens of times before.
Below is how I stated the problem last time, followed by what solved the problem (albeit by slowing down rendering dramatically).
[POST FROM LAST TIME]
PROBLEM: Every time I try to render my latest video the program never gets further than 13% or so before crashing.FORMAT: I’m trying to render a 1080i mp4 for Youtube, using a format that has worked fine dozens and dozens of times before.
THINGS I’VE TRIED/FACTS: I’ve tried different mp4 setting as well as rendering in different formats (.mov, .avi) and it’s the same problem each time.
I know my hardware is up to the task as this is the same task it’s been doing for almost a year. I haven’t buggered with anything, either.
I’ve uninstalled and re-installed the software. No difference.
I’ve copied and pasted the video instructions into a new file in case maybe the original became corrupted somehow? No dice.
I was able to render the first fifteen seconds as it’s own tiny video!
I tried rendering as an .mov without my Chroma Keying on (accidentally) and IT SEEMED TO WORK OKAY THEN. But of course I can’t have the video without the greenscreen removed! Still, this feels like a clue?
Anyways, what else can I say? Except a traditional HELLLLLLP!!!
P.S. If it helps, this is what I regularly am rendering:
[SUGGESTED SOLUTION FROM LAST TIME THAT WORKED]
If you’re using Vegas Pro, try dropping…your render threads to 1 and see if that helps.[AND SO]
Dropping my render threads from 4 to 1 did indeed help, even if it did dramatically lengthen rendering times from around 10 minutes to around an hour. But, of course, I can’t drop the render threads any lower!Any ideas? This is driving me crazy.

Have you tried downloading the trial of Vegas Pro 10a and see if you have the same problem? You could just be fighting a limitation of Vegas Pro 8.
