  • Vegas Platinum 9.0b crashes when rendering

    Posted by David Mccormick on December 18, 2010 at 11:35 pm

    I have Vegas Platinum 9.0b and I am using 9, 1080p HD videos recorded with my Canon 500D (MOV format) I have a 2.4ghz Intel Quad Core, 4GB RAM, Geforce FX 9800 GTX graphics card with 1GB RAM and a 300GB HD.

    I have been able to render videos with 59.9 (Double NTSC), 1080p HD with 100% smoothness and 3 keyframes on WMV 11 before, but could it be they were one video instead of 2,3 or more together?

    I tried this: https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?ForumID=4&MessageID=650217 and at least I am getting more frames rendered before it stops responding or crashes. Spent 2 hours rendering a 1min 39sec video in the format I mentioned since it crashed over and over and then finally began to render but really slowly.

    Now I checked the resources it was using while rendering and I was using 1.39GB RAM running vegas and 68% RAM on all programs/background services etc…

    Could it be that I need more RAM?

    This is annoying since I have a 1 hour video I want to put together and its not happening this way. Anyone know what I could do?

    The problem could be that you are using a newly developed camera with old software. Don’t expect them to be compatible. I would download the trial of Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10 and see if it will render properly. If it does, you know what to do next.

    If that doesn’t work, then you might need to convert those MOV file into something that your version of Vegas can handle. Lots of people use CineForm NeoScene to convert Canon 5D/7D/T2i movies for Vegas editing. It might work for your 500D too.

    Hi John,

    Thanks for the info, but I just realised that I have recorded videos before in vegas using the same Canon 500D to record the videos and had little problem rendering them., one here I recorded was fine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8Io-7V3JPY and didn’t have to edit the videos much. I am going to re-install my windows 7 and now have 6GB RAM. I’ll try what you said after re-installing and see what happens.

    I re installed my PC with Windows 7 64-bit and now have 4.78GB usable memory. I downloaded Movie studio HD 10 and tried making and rendering a video, and it was still slow (but a bit faster than before), so came to the conclusion that it could be my video settings were too high for my computer to render the video. I’ll test it again using different settings (I was using double NTSC 59.9fps, 1080p, best quality video 1440×1080, 8Mbps) and that could be it try 30.00fps or 29.9fps and see if that makes any difference.

    What is the target device that you will be using to view the videos? There is no reason to render anything more than 30fps.
