Yea, that usually doesn’t solve a permissions problem in Windows 10, but thought I would throw it out there. By the way, I get the same error with the Magix AVC render, if I don’t have write access permissions to a folder, as you did. It still all points to a permission error within Windows 10 as far as I can see. Maybe a search or two about write errors in Windows 10 will hlp you step through it. Good Luck, hope I haven’t sent you down the wrong rabbit hole.

Ian, I think your problem is exactly described in the original error. I think you have a permissions error and cannot write the rendered file to the folder you want to store it in. I would check first where are you storing the rendered file? Then do you have permission to write to that folder? I’m not familiar with Windows 10, so hopefully someone else will jump in, or a search on How-To’s for the steps to check for permissions. Running Vegas Pro as Administrator may allow it to write the rendered file, right click on the Vegas Pro desktop icon and select ‘Run as Administrator’.

No disrespect to your son, I think you will find Magix AVC/AAC MP4 a better render than the WMV. More options, faster render speed (maybe), cleaner results, better quality. Just something to consider in the future.

Ian, what operating system are you running on your laptops? Windows 7 on the old ones and Windows 10 on the new one would be my guess.

Can you render using the Magix AVC/AAC MP4 format template?

Out of curiosity, why are you rendering to WMV

Considering that whatever cameras you have and the format they record, and the computer you have for editing, and you want to stay with whatever version of Vegas Pro you have, and you do not have the funds to switch any of them out, you may be forced to render out to intermediates or proxies. But even if you do this, if your computer system doesn’t have enough horsepower, your editing preview my slow down during transitions and heavy FX work.

If your source media is in a heavily compressed delivery format, it is going to tax your system to run the preview playback at normal speed. If you like your cameras, then you may want to consider upgrading your editing computer system with a higher speed processor, more cores, more and faster memory, a GPU supported by your Vegas Pro version, and SSD drives for the program drive and your work drive.

If the budget doesn’t allow upgrading any part of your workflow, then you may be left with proxies if you don;t mind working with a lower resolution preview quality, or spend the time before editing to render out intermediate or uncompressed files. None of this will improve the quality of your source media, but would probably retain the quality to visually lossless and then improve your playback speed/smoothness except under heavy FX’s and/r transitions.

Until I upgraded my desktop PC, I would render out intermediates (either CineForm or Magic YUV) which would run full quality preview playback through transitions and light FX and color correction. Other source media I have is DNxHD 422 10 bit and ProRes HQ, which all playback directly from the camera. I now have a PC that will, for the most part, playback at highest quality normal speed even for the occasional clip I get in h.264/mp4.

I never liked editing with proxies, as to do so it requires reducing the quality of the preview and takes about the same amount of time, although more management in organizing and storing the source from the intermediates is required when batch rendering source media into intermediates.

Just the way I have done things in the past when my desktop wasn’t up to par with the requirements I desired. If you get to the point that proxies and intermediates are not required, as Grazie points out, the happier you are going to be, but you already know that, as the basis for your questions.

Hi Cody,

I’m not a script writer, so this may not be anywhere close, but if it were me I would try……..

Add this without the quotes “using ScriptPortal.Vegas;” before the line in your script “public class EntryPoint”

You may also need to replace “Vegas myVegas;” to “ScriptPortal.Vegas.Vegas meVegas;”, again without quotes. Hopefully Edward will reply back with the correct stuff!

Best Regards……George

I think I remember some others complaining about that Matthew over on the Vegas Creative Software forum. If you haven’t already, may want to check there to see if there have been any fixes yet.

Matthew said “PS. Is it just me, or does Vegas leave you like 90% satisfied with every upgrade? They boasted higher resolution editing environment but my timeline thumbnails look like witness protection pixilation. I cannot even tell what is there.”

I pretty much stop fiddling with VP16 until maybe another couple of updates are released, just to many weird things going on that is taking too much of my time to run down. I’m using DaVinvi Resolve 15.01, no crashes, no drama. Later this year I may go back to testing VP16. And yes, if I enlarge the track even just a small amount, on my monitor the timeline/track thumbnails are difficult to distinguish. Maybe others with a different GPU and monitor setup see it better.

I hope mapping your NAS drives work out for you.

Hi Matthew,

Version 16 build 261, Windows 7. I cannot duplicate your issue, Vegas finds all the files after I specify the location and save the project.

Not speaking for him, but I believe Norman’s replies were in context within Vegas. Your reply, although contridictory, taking that part out would be an additional contribution if the OP wanted to get involved with frameserving and complications it comes with.

Regardless, Norman is correct, Youtube is going to perform it’s magic by re-encoding. That may or may not be visually harmful compared to the original depending on what the original upload is and how picky the user is about the results. From my experience, the file size upload isn’t worth it to upload lossless compared to visually lossless and the end results of Youtube processing.

Hi Henry,

If you render that section of your project, does it eliminate the flicker? You may want to post up more information about your project, the source media and your system, as well as, version and build of your Vegas. More history about your projects may also be useful, did this just start, or is the first project in Vegas, etc.? The more information you provide, the more likely someone can jump in to help.

Best Regards……George
