Vegas Rendering Certain Sections Of Project Black / No Video
Hey everyone,
I’ve been having a strange glitch happen occasionally with Sony Vegas lately. It’s only started happening the past month or so and I can’t figure it out.
Basically, when I render certain projects some sections of my videos will not render video. It will be pitch black in those areas. You can still hear the audio but no video comes through.
I haven’t changed any of my settings and my source files are all recorded the same (I’m taking .avi recordings I get from my blackmagic intensity pro capture card) but sometimes certain sections of the video render black.
It seems like the only fix I have figured out is that if I close sony vegas and try re-rendering the project occasionally it fixes itself, I don’t even do anything differently. It’s just like sometimes sections render in black and sometimes they don’t.
But this can’t really be considered a “fix” as I have to render projects sometimes 4 or 5 times before they come out correctly.
I just can’t figure out what’s going wrong and I was going to try and re-install vegas but wanted to see if anyone knew some things to try before doing that.

I had the same problem, and found a solution, albeit not perfect. I was using Sony Vegas Pro 10 to render to AVC.
The problem only occurred when rendering MJPEG/AVI video. The problem was intermittent, often occurring where two clips overlapped, and sometimes for part of a clip. Reinstalling Vegas and my CODECs didn’t fix it, and I didn’t want to lose a week of my life re-installing my OS and apps.
What worked for me was to reduce the video track level to 97.5%.
I checked my finished movies for bad areas using VirtualDub; put the AVC file in an MKV wrapper using ‘mkvmerge GUI’ and then use VirtualDub’s scene scan feature to find problem areas.
