I have made a test with Cineform, and guess what it does fix my problem: I could render a 7 minute video made of 40 .MOV files without any problem. Memory consumption was very low (about 1.5 GB of swap file)
And also, processing seems to be much much faster than when using .MOV files directly within Vegas.

So my overall workflow is as follows:

– get the .MOV files from my 7D (1920x1080x25fps)
– convert them to .AVI files with Cineform Neoscene
– place the .AVI files from within Vegas Movie Studio Platinum HD in a .VF project, and edit the project.
– render the project to an .M2T output
– convert the .M2T to a .Divx with DivX Converter (720p format)
– play the DivX on my Freebox (a popular French ADSL box)
– enjoy the HD !

Thanks again John,
Frédéric

N.B. I now have to fix another problem: on another PC, the installation of Vegas Platinum 10.0 simply fails. I get a “1621” error due to the Visual C++ Redistributable which fails to install. I followed the full re-install procedure described on the sony knowledge base, but it does not help. To be followed in another post… 🙂

Hi John,

Thanks a lot for your answer, which seems to have a huge value to fix my issues!! (btw, yesterday evening, after saying that I could render videos again, I had several crashes and error).

I will have a look at this extra tool.

I read on the forum that you were a Vegas expert, I must say that the more I read you, the more I trust this statement!! 🙂

Thanks again,
Frederic

Just in case it may help…
Today was a great day : I managed to render 2 times a 2/3-minute video without a crash nor errors.

Non-exhaustive list of what I did:

– yesterday I used CFF explorer to unflag the 2GB limit of the Vegas EXE file (as mentioned in the Vegas forum on the Sony site by some users). Yesterday it did not change anything, but this morning I rebooted my PC, maybe then the new setting has been taken into account??

– the project files I have successfully rendered have been created with Vegas Movie Studio v9.0. I then launched Vegas Movie Studio Platinum HD 10.0 to do the HD rendering, by opening this v9.0 project. I could even make some changes under 10.0, but did not save the .vf file from 10.0.

I have absolutely no clue if these things are THE things to do to perform a rendering successfully, as I have tried so many other things yesterday and the days before. In case it raises some ideas in your minds, showing you where the problems come from, please advice, once again 🙂

The source of my video is a Canon 7D, doing .MOV in 1920×1080 / 25 fps.

How can I see the codec it uses ?
Please tell me if you know, so that I can answer.

And if you can suggest me a format to convert to, please advise too.

btw, surprisingly enough, this morning I managed to render a 3-minute movie (made of about 15 cuts from my 7D). The way I did it is to create the .vf Project under Vegas Movie Studio 9. Then I opened it on Vegas Movie Studio Platinum HD 10.0, and it rendered without any crash nor error. Not sure at all this could be a repeatable way of fixing my problems though…

Thanks in advance for your answer!!

The specs of Video Movie Studio Platinum HD say “1 GB of RAM (2 GB recommended for HD)”, so I would say I am ok with them.

I unfortunately already tried the 2 things you suggest, and it has no effect. I also tried various other recommendations read on the forum, but I still cannot render my 3-minute HD videos 🙁

If you see anthing else that could be done, please advise!!
Thanks in advance,
Frederic

Hi,

thank you for the details you gave, I have learnt something.

I have the same “low memory” problem with Platinum HD 10.0, and was wondering if you have found a solution to it??

Thanks for your help, I am like you very very frustrated about this.

Hi,

I have the same problem with my new Vegas Movie Studio Platinum HD 10.0, see my post from yesterday.

I have also seen other posts about low memory errors with Vegas Pro.

As far as I understand, nobody has found out the reason of these errors. Though it looks like adding gigas of RAM does not fix anything.

I have logged my problem to Sony’s support. They have given me several answers of no help. The only thing I feel is that they don’t really read the details I give, and don’t really care about it…

My only suggestion so far: all of us who are experiencing this problem should log it on the Sony support. Then maybe Sony will decide to really investigate it and fix it in a patch.
I have also complained on the Sony Facebook fan page, maybe you can do it as well to help make the problem a priority for Sony.

For me it is a priority: I just cannot render my movies 🙁
