Ver 10 Render Times

[John Rofrano]

Why don’t you give us a little more information and we can test with you:

1. What are your project properties?
2. What are the properties of the files (HD-1080i, HD-720p, SD)
3. What render templates are you using.

I’d be happy to run them through Vegas Pro 8, 9, and 10 to see if there is any difference.

Thanks for the help John!

The media, project and rendering settings are contained in the links below.

Source Media:

I re-sized the media on the timeline to 2-seconds and applied a chromakey using the color dropper and clicking on the leaves in the lower-left. FX in both versions are default.

The results are the same when using rendering to MPEG2 using the
Blu-ray 1920X1080-24p, 25-MPS stream template.

Thanks again! – Bill

Performed a more detailed analysis including using a more-standard rendering scenario. Rendered to MPEG2 HDV 1920X1080-24p 25MPS, the first 30-seconds of a multi-layered production project. In Summary Vegas-10 simply isn’t utilizing system resources properly. The shorter test-clips show a more dramatic difference as it wasn’t until 30% into the render before system resources started to spike up. At that point vegas estimated 13-minutes to complete.

Vegas-10 = 6:20
Production Clip 30-seconds
~60-avg-CPU-Usage +565MB PM + 550MB VM
Vegas-08 = 4:25
Production Clip 30-seconds
~80%-Avg-CPU-Usage + 850MB PM + 900MB VM

Using the HD rendering test from the Sony board was helpful, including seeing at least one poster experiencing similar issues.

07:09 — V8.0c
12:20 — V10.0

My system simply never get’s out of 2nd gear in V 10.0. In V8.0c my processor cranks into the high-eighties early on and utilizes more than twice the physical and virtual memory throughout the render.:-(((

OS:Windows XP 32-bit
OS Drive:7,200 rpm raid 1 scsi 250gb
Edit Master: G-Drive Mini_Raid 1 250gb
Edit Output: G-Drive Mini 250gb.
MB:Pentium Dual Core 3.2 GHZ (64-bit capable)
MEM:4GB of Ram, 3.37gb addressable.
Display:NVIDA GT-430

Your setting are confusing. The media file you posted is 60i yet you are setting your project to 24p with deinterlace set to none. This is incorrect and will cause interlacing artifacts in your output if you pan left or right.

I also can’t follow what you’re doing with the chroma key. You’ll need to post a project file if you expect us to do exactly what you did.

Here is what I did:

Set my project to HD 1080-24p
Dropped the file you posted onto the timeline
Rendered to MPEG2 HD 1080-24p Blu-ray 25Mbps

Here are my findings:

Vegas Pro 8.0c 32-bit: 55 seconds
Vegas Pro 9.0e 32-bit: 59 seconds
Vegas Pro 10.0a 32-bit: 46 seconds
Vegas Pro 10.0a 64-bit: 44 seconds

So my findings are that Vegas Pro 10.0 renders faster than Vegas Pro 9.0 or 8.0 in that scenario.

I’m in the process of upgrading my workstation motherboard and CPU to an AMD Phenom 6-core CPU with a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit. Hence it’s really not worth chasing this issue any further as my current configuration has seen it’s last production render.

Thanks for all the help.
