  • Video Rendering Lag?

    Posted by Shane Egan on July 6, 2010 at 4:25 am

    Hey,

    I have installed Sony Vegas Pro 8.0 and was testing the quality of a CS:S clip I rendered, it was recorded at 300FPS using a movie config, I then compressed it using “Easy_h264” but the problem persists with both versions, one is an mp4, the other an .avi. I have yet to figure out the issue, I have talked with friends who are movie makers and I follow the same steps they do but I have the issue, plus my computer is better than some that I know. Im running off of an Intel Quad Q9650 @ 3.0GHZ with an Nvidia 9600GT and 2GB of RAM. I rendered on full settings, all high.

    Here is the video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHnHzUxx72Q

    That jumpy appearance occurs both on youtube, and my PC with both the uncompressed and compressed version.

    Help would be greatly appreciated,

    Thanks.

    …it was recorded at 300FPS using a movie config.

    300fps is a ridiculously high setting. Try recording at 30fps and see if the problem goes away.

    I know people that record at 300, 500, even 1000 FPS, its recorded with that FPS in game. The purpose is because some people include smoothing into their videos and that can only be done effectively with a higher framerate. That should not be the problem as I do have a better computer then my other friend who is able to pull this off fine, but none the less, I will give it a try..

    New to sony vegas and need rendering help

    I think I have a bad codec or something going on. My renders have slowed to a crawl. A 1 minute test render takes 12 minutes to render. Importing video as avi and need to find quicker renders for now. Can’t afford new computer yet, but need about a 3- 1 render time for dvds for clients.

    I am using sony vegas 7d. I have a single processor pentium (yes I know its slow, but it used to render 3 minutes per minute of video). I formatted main hard drive, 250 meg. Putting windows xppro on 95gig partition, 140 gig for programs. Have a terrabyte hd for storage. Do I need different codecs.

    You should really start a new thread since this is an unrelated problem. That will get more eyes on it.

    Do you have any codec-paks installed on your computer? If you do… uninstall them and reboot.

    What is the format of your source video? i.e., what codec does the AVI file contain?

    What format are you trying to render to?

    What are you project properties set to?

    What changed on your PC that is making things slower?

    Is it just one project or all projects?

    Vegas 10 trial version, just downloaded. 30min HDV 1080i from camera estimated longer than 8-hours to render as .mov uncompressed. Computer is Acer Aspire i7 with dedicated vid card w/1GB;task mgr shows cores using only 20% with 2.5GB ram usage, so pretty sure its not taxing my system. I chose uncompressed .mov as I’m archiving tape for future iMac use, so I don’t want to reduce quality. Thanks.

    If you are archiving to tape you should rendering back to HDV to print it to tape. It shouldn’t take that long unless you have some really heaving processing going on in your project like multiple tracks of chroma key or 3D Track Motion.

    I’m saving to hard-drive to access the file on an iMac and to provide secondary backup to the original tape. Any settings I should be looking to tweak or just monitor to diagnose? I didn’t alter anything from the default settings used to save .mov “uncompressed”.

    I don’t know why it would take so long except if you had a lot of FX.
