Vegas and smart rendering for mp4
I just figured out that Vegas does not offer smart rendering for Mp4 format and I lost few hours because of it. Is there any other option how to do it? I have a few clips and I need to attach two different versions of end credits to it. I thought the fastest way would be to render the clips once and then smart render it with the two versions of end credits… but I was wrong… Now I need to render the whole thing two times… again 🙁

MP4 is a file format and not a video codec. That said there are only a few codecs in Vegas that smart render. You are probably using one of them that does not smart render.

I am using MainConcept AVC. The videos are ment for YouTube.

From Vegas Pro Help:
When you render video to any of the following formats, unedited video frames are passed through without recompression (smart rendering):
DV AVI
DV MXF
IMX MXF (IMX 24p MXF is not supported for no-recompress rendering)
XAVC Intra MXF
HD MXF
MPEG-2 (for files such as those from HDV and DVD camcorders)
Panasonic P2
XDCAM EX supports smart rendering across the following formats:
SP 18.3 Mbps CBR 1280x720p to/from XDCAM EX and HDV HD-1
SP 25 Mbps CBR 1440x1080i to/from XDCAM EX, XDCAM HD, and HDV HD-2
HQ 35 Mbps VBR 1440×1080 to/from XDCAM EX and XDCAM HD
HQ 35 Mbps VBR 1280x720p to/from XDCAM EX

I realize this is an old thread — are there new formats that have been added to this list since the original post?
LOVE smart render!

Hi Red-Rob,
I think that list is current, but you can go to index help in your version and search for smart rendering and you will see the same or similar list.
