Yes it’s i7-3630QM 2.4GHz, 8G RAM.
Right now I’m searching for only the files that were used in the movie and copying those onto the hard drive. -
Everything I’m reading online indicates USB3 is as good as or better than these other two options. Is there evidence that they are better than USB3 in reading?
I get two types of crashes. Either it says “stopped working” from the opening credits, or sometimes it’ll start rendering and then halt several minutes in.
I’ve turned off all other programs/apps, increased virtual memory, tried rendering video alone or sections of the video, but nothing works. -
The size of the data folder exceeds available hard drive space. It’s more than 600gb, a 90 minute feature. Connects with usb. How do I set up an alternative system?
-
The data is on an external 1.5 TB drive. The program is on C and I’ve tried rendering to the external drive, C or partitioned D drive. Same result, though with the above changes and removing the key frame shots it may work.
-
I disabled everything and increased virtual ram and it has helped. It was stopping at the opening credits and now it stopped 5 minutes into the film. There is no error message, it just stops rendering while the time keeps ticking.

Btw when I run analyze wait chain it says Vegas is running correctly and nothing appears in the window.
Also if I render the portion where the cgi is I get the Vegas isn’t working error. But if I render the entire film from the beginning it goes smoothly. Good stuff.

Thanks for the info. At this point it seems to be getting caught up only on the CGI shots where I’m doing key frame or green screen. I can render those shots out on the old PC and import them to fix this, but can’t I resolve it in the new system? Will the above solve this?

It’s a sufficient system. 8GM ram, 500GB drive. Just took it out of the box so brand new. Where can I find the GPU settings? I didn’t have GPU on my last PC so it wasn’t an issue.
I’ve been working with Vegas for about 3 years and it has performed well except with rendering, where it consistently crashes on large films. My feature middle of last year it kept crashing right up until the day before my screening when I figured out I could get a wmv video file, then couple it with the wav in my authoring program. Otherwise, any attempt to render video and audio together failed, regardless of the format. I got the generic “vegas stopped working” or whatever it is, without a specific error message. I still get that on this new system, but now it also will sometimes get a small way through and then freeze. I’m trying to render small chunks to see if it can handle a few minutes at a time.
But I have two sales contracts in hand for my films and NEED vegas to render them out properly in a high res MOV flattened with audio, or I will have to pass on getting worldwide distribution.
If all else fails, I have Avid, and maybe vegas can export the data into a form that I can import into avid. -
I worked with it and still have the same render problem. I just upgraded to a new, faster and much more expensive laptop thinking it was a RAM or speed issue, but Vegas still crashes with each render.
I’m rendering out to the avid codec. Last night it simply froze at 15% without an error message. Same thing this morning. Any explanation? -
Thanks that resolved it. Still have my usual inability to render issues but I’ll keep plugging away at those.
