  • Vegas Pro crashes when rendering masked section

    Posted by Daniel Johnson on March 28, 2020 at 1:58 pm

    So I’m working on a video project in Vegas Pro 13.0, hadn’t encountered any problems up to this point. However, one transition I’m using requires some quite intensive masking. I was able to render this section just fine, but at a seemingly arbitrary time, it started crashing. The crashes have happened in three scenarios so far

    1. I try to render a section including the transition

    2. I click through the masked frames using the arrow keys

    3. I adjust the size of the video clip involved in the transition

    Other sections of the video seem to render just fine, including sections involving less intensive masks.

    I would really appreciate it if anyone can help me out. It’s a project I’ve put a ton of work into, and would hate to lose that progress.

    I’ve had this problem a long time ago and the only way I got around it was to select a very short portion of the even and render it and then put those rendered events together on the timeline.
    By doing this I often came up to the spot in that short render that was the problem which I then either corrected or changed in a way that solved it.

    Hi Daniel

    I would help if you could get into a little more details.

    Mediainfo on the original file(s)

    Type(s) of FX applied and in what order

    What are your computer specs (CPU, GPU, OS, etc…)

    Cheers !

    Thank you, yea I may have to do it that way. It makes me hopeful if it might just be a specific spot though, that sounds reasonably solvable

    The footage was filmed on a GoPro Hero 7 Black at 1080p60fps.

    So other than cropping the media to a larger aspect ratio, the effects applied were as follows. To all media involved, I have added the sony color correct and sony color curves FX. To the clip in the top track, I have masked almost all the frames. To the clip in the second from top track, I have added the S_WipeLine transition from the Sapphire plugin

    My device specs are

    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz 2.90 GHz
    Installed RAM: 12.0 GB
    System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

    Hope this helps!

    Another thing to try is to eliminate or try another wipe just to see if it will render. Maybe that wipe doesn’t like it when an event is stretched.

    [Daniel Johnson] “I would really appreciate it if anyone can help me out. It’s a project I’ve put a ton of work into, and would hate to lose that progress.”

    I hear your frustration. Like Roger, I’ve been here too. And my solution was to render in sections, as per Roger, and then move on. Why does this happen? Stretching and adding FXing in the RIGHT combination will give major hiccups.

    One other solution is to make a digital intermediary or DI of the Stretched item. This will ensure that your PC will be capable of dealing with the Math. Rendering is THE most CPU/GPU intensive work our PCs do. I know we all suffer from needing to Managing our Expectations. At the end of the day sometimes the Wheels will fall off, that Day, for you, is Today.
