    My Sony Vegas Pro 20 renders corrupt or unsupported formats no matter which format I choose. It used to work fine until a month ago. Nothing has changed Any ideas?

    Hey Michael! If Vegas suddenly starts rendering corrupt or unsupported files, a few common fixes are:

    • Update your GPU driver. If that doesn’t help, try reinstalling Vegas. Codecs can sometimes become corrupted due to driver conflicts.
    • Disable GPU acceleration under Preferences > Video (this can fix rendering errors caused by GPU conflicts).
    • Go to Preferences > File I/O and toggle Enable legacy AVC decoding to see if it makes a difference.
    • Render to a local drive instead of an external one. I’ve had issues rendering to external drives in the past.

    These fixes have worked for me before. If none of them help, I recommend reverting any settings you changed just in case.

    Let me know how it goes!

    I cleared the cache by clicking CTRL+SHIFT and quickly double tapping the icon and selecting clear cache and voila. No more corrupted files. Thx for your help!!!
