I know WMVs are made for high compression rates. But, if you choose quality mode to 100% the loss of quality wont be much. You should try it. If you put it at 99% it’s no good but the quality is just perfect at 100%(it takes the bit rate to as high as it needs so that it doesn’t loose quality_something like 30mbps). My computer runs fast with WMV files. I have not tried though with MJPEG.
Thanks again for sharing.

Wow! Thanks a lot John Rofrano! Finally someone explained me that. Not even asking Vegas’ support I was able to solve my problem but you could. Thanks a lot for sharing it. Maybe that’s why I have been having trouble with codecs. DOH.
What I will try is to uninstall the Codec Pack completely and re-instal Vegas. That should work.
Anyways, for that guy trying to use his MOVs: wouldn’t converting your video solve the problem? Convert it to a WMV with its highest quality on quality mode(100%). This will create a file with almost no loss of quality and good compression(compared to uncompressed footage-and about three times the original file). A good free converter is hard to find but MediaCoder does a good job.

Hello. Can I share my thoughts too?
Well before reading this try installing the K-lite Codec Pack found here:
https://fileforum.betanews.com/download/KLite-Codec-Pack_Full/1094057842/3
And test it rendering the MOV file to make sure it works well and there aren’t any colors changes(it happens sometimes).

I have Sony Vegas HD Platinum 11 and the most updated version now is 11.0.295. I have had quite a bit of problems with codecs in Vegas. I had problems with footage captured from free screen recorders. Every single one of them is not fully compatible with Vegas(either the program crashes or the colors are not what are supposed to be). And I’m talking about MOVs, WMVs, AVIs with AVCs and all this basic stuff. Although I was able to edit my AVCHD camcorder’s videos very well(thanks God) I am getting to a point where I’m seeing myself buying a video converter. All those free video converters I’ve tried and were not able to encode to a codec that Vegas handles AND doesn’t loose quality(not even raising the bit rate to 20mbps). So either the video came up to be enormously BIG or had a low quality.
In conclusion I can’t trust on Sony Vegas to do the job. Also you will encounter many more different codecs from videos that Vegas won’t be allowed to work with. I’m still trying to find the video converter.

Wow you got Pro 11 already? Cool! I’m not getting to the Pro version yet. I use Movie Studio Platinum HD 11 Suite.
Well the guy on the top already said he was rendering on the same template of his original video when he said: “The input file is 1080/50i and the project template is the default HDV 1080/50i template (PAL). The output template I am rendering as is mainconcept mpeg2, HDV 1080/50i.”
But that’s a good point you made. I do the same stuff you do to solve a problem in Vegas and it’s always good to share our conclusions. Thanks for sharing it.

I actually solved my problem but don’t remember how. Anyways, the answer for that could be many things. Try some of these:
1- Make sure when you render not to have the same name of a previously rendered video on the folder you are rendering to(sometimes the replace option is not available and it just shows the problem).
2-On render settings try to mark the option that says “Render Using CPU only” on ‘encode mode’ instead of “Automatically”. (found this one on Youtube: https://youtu.be/rdNlpdC2PgA
3.[you already did this one] Make sure on “Properties” you have the same frame rate as your original video file. How? There are 3 icons on the top right(after your template name). The 3rd is called “Match Media Settings”. Select any of your footages on your computer so that Vegas can ‘match’.
4. Don’t forget also to have the same settings from your Project Properties on your rendering settings. Don’t forget the audio also on project properties and render settings.
5. Update Sony Vegas. Check for the lastest update.
If anything else works, try rendering on WMV. But I think the problem is probably on your render settings. Try to fool around with it a bit at the same time saving your templates. I hope this helped.

I think I can help you. At “Render As…” Make sure that “match project settings” is checked. Under Sony AVC/MVC choose “AVCHD 1920×1080-60i” if that’s exactly what it appears. Then scroll down and go to “Customize Template…”. Change the Bit rate from 16,000,000 to 8,000,000(information: about 8,500,000 is the maximum that Youtube will allow your video to be after it is processed there). Now go to the Project tab and change the render quality to Best. When you are done changing settings save your template by changing its name from “AVCHD 1920×1080-60i” to “AVCHD 1920×1080-60i 8mbps” and clicking the “save template” button on the right (it looks like a floppy disk). Now when you see your template in blue click on the star on the left to make it your favorite so that you can find it easier. I would also recommend you to render just a region of your video just for testing purposes on Youtube. You can select a region on your video by selecting a point on the timeline and holding the shift key and then hold the right arrow until you select about 10 seconds or less of your video. These are not rules, just tips. You can see how many seconds you are selecting by looking to your right bottom of the screen. The third one from left to right is the one. If it shows like 00:00:03;22 it means 3 seconds and 22 frames that you have selected. And then to just render a selected region you need to got to “Render As…”, scroll down and check “render loop region only”. Now click render and upload your video to Youtube!
Good luck! Read it carefully and you get it. It is not that hard. Have a good day.
Jesus is the Lord!

Hum… Thats funny because I am having the same problem. But I can render it at 1080p but not at 720p. Does anybody have an answer for that? Thanks.
