Very very high cpu usage while rendering
I’m using am i7 4790K & Sony vegas pushes the CPU all the way to the 90’s at times. My CPU is well greased & as a good aftermarket fan. Prior to me even pressing the render button, my CPU is idling around 4%. Anything would help.

Tha CPU is there to be utilized, and rendering is a hard work.
Near 100% Cpu is totally normal. I’d even worry if it would be way below 100, as that would mean a bottleneck somewhere in your system, which does not allow your Cpu to work at its full potential.Best regards

Chris, your post is the exact opposite of what most people come here to complain about. Usually, people are screaming as to why Vegas Pro is only using 30% of their CPU and taking forever to render. You should consider yourself extremely lucky that Vegas Pro is taking advantage of 100% of your CPU. Most people would be overjoyed if they saw that.
Rendering is extremely CPU intensive as László said and if Vegas Pro will use 100% of your CPU you are in a elite group of people who own a computer that Vegas Pro will actually take full advantage of. I have a12-Core (2 x 6-Core CPU’s) and Vegas Pro can’t figure out how to keep them all busy. 🙁

CPU can be well below 100% during rendering if the system relies on the GPU for that task.
Check in Preferences -> Video
You can also make sure the max. number of processing threads is at least 2x the number of cores. Mine is set to 16, which works out okay. -
I am getting 100% cpu on a 3 ghz cpu with 8 GB ram with just video preview.
I think this is a Vegas Pro problem,

When you preview, various things can influence cpu usage:
-preview quality
-desired preview fps (60p preview takes more than 25p)
-resolution (playing a SD timeline takes much less than playing a 4K timeline)
-Effects used in the project (a blur takes huge lot of power)
-source media used (decoding AVC takes more than decoding mpeg2)
-gpu enabled/disabled (if you have a gpu that vegas can use, the cpu usage can drop dramatically)So saying 100% cpu load during preview be a vegas problem without any additional detail, is something I would not say :))
