Vegas only partly renders with Transitions

[Francois Pénzes]

Hi Barry

Have you tried rendering with GPU acceleration OFF ?

Also, some transitions (or combination of transitions/effects) can be very CPU/Memory intensive.

Cheers !

Hi Francois

My Graphics card doesen’t support GPU acceleration I realise some transitions can be high on CPU usage but lately no matter which transition I use it won’t render. I’m wondering is my Graphics card and Win7 32 bit sufficient for running this prog?

Thanks for your response
Barry

Hi Barry

The reason I’m asking is that Vegas 11 was the last version that could run off a 32 bit system. 32 bit systems, like yours, can only use a theoretical maximum or 4 Gigs of RAM. All of that is fine and dandy but once your system is up and running (Idle) you would have something like 3.4 Gigs left. Once you start a program (i.e. Vegas) that amount drops again. When you get to rendering, there is not much of the minimum required to run you OS, all of your background operations and your Vegas tasks.

Granted, your version of Windows has what they called Page Files (virtual memory). When your RAM becomes full, Windows moves some of the data from your RAM back to your hard drive. Back and forth. You can imagine how strenuous it can be on your system, especially when rendering. At some point, it just gives up.

There are no 2 ways about it, video editing requires a powerful computer if you want to go beyond straight cut only editing. Treat yourself to a better system. Doing a search on Google will yield a ton of information about what to get or how to build a proper one according to your available budget.

Cheers !
