[Francesco Vaglio] “Yeah all animated :(“
Yea well… 12 – 14 tracks of animation is going to take a long while to render without a powerful CPU or GPU. Your Radeon R5 M230 only has 528 GFLOPS of performance when you really need 1,000+ GFLOPS for Vegas Pro. The latest AMD GPU’s like the AMD R9-390X has around 6,000 GFLOPs for comparison. Your laptop just isn’t mean for heavy video compositing like this. All you can really do is wait.

[Christie Hines] “Is there some more efficient way of dealing with this?”
Use the Track Compressor. As you lower the Threshold it will raise the volume of the lower parts. Increase the compression to have a greater effects.
You can also process your audio though Levelator. It’s built for smoothing out audio in podcasts but it works for lots of uneven audio problems.

Are the GIF’s animated? If not, just make them PNG’s.
You are trying to process 14 tracks. It’s going to be slow.

[Francesco Vaglio] “So which is the best rendering setting, in your opinion?”
What are you trying to deliver? Why did you select a 4:3 template and not a 16:9 template. The “best” template is the one that gives the results you expect. Were you planning on delivery HD 16:9 video? If so, use an HD 16:9 template.
[Francesco Vaglio] “How much should it take to render that video, 14 min 1080p?”
That’s not easy to answer. What is your source? Is it all images? How big are they? What file type? Are you adding any FX? If so what FX? Are you using Motion Tracking or Pan/Crop to make them all display at the same time? There are lots of variables that contribute to render times.

There are several things wrong that I can see:
- Your project is set for 1920×1080 16:9 but your render template is 1140×1080 4:3. That will cause all of the frames to require resizing which requires a lot of time.
- Your RAM Preview is set to 6000 out of 6091Mb which is starving your render. None of that memory can be used to render. You should set it back to the default 200.
- Your project is set to interlaced but if you are just rendering images you should set it to progressive.
- How big are the images? If they are bigger than 1920×1080 then they are being resized 30 times a second which requires a lot of processing. Also, if they are not using the entire frame you should resize them to the size you actually need to save time.
Finally your CPU is a very weak AMD which only scores 3,774 which is weaker than an Intel Core i5 and much weaker than the Intel Core i7’s that score between 5,586 and 7,885 more than twice as powerful. So rendering video is going to be slow anyway on that CPU.

I have no experience with ShadowPlay and all by itself it could be causing the problem but your setting are all over the map. Your project frame rate is 59.274, your media frame rate is 59.940, and your render frame rate is 60.00. I’m guessing that this could be contributing to your problem. Set your project and render to match your media and see if that improves things.

[Dustin Schoen] “… when I try copy a QuickTime video from my action camera, it shuts down Vegas and wants me to send an error report. It was doing that before, but it did work at one point, I’m not sure what’s going on now.”
You might want to try installing the latest QuickTime. If that doesn’t work, go back and install the older version of QuickTime that was meant for Movie Studio 11. That’s the problem with running old software… as components that it relies on get updated, they might not always work. An update to QuickTime may have actually broken it.
[Dustin Schoen] “I think I need to upgrade my laptop and start fresh anyway.”
That might not be a bad idea but “fresh” doesn’t always mean “new” If you want to use old software, you need to keep your entire computer back-leveled at the state the old software expects. The solution, of course, is to update Movie Studio to 13.

[Dustin Schoen] “I guess I can try the audio drivers. Where do I get those?”
From the web site of your PC manufacturer (i.e., Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc.)
