if this link works you should find a short 27MB video clip with video and audio. BTW, these clips play fine with a 3rd party player.. “POT Player”

No, only the audio plays.

[Larry Brewer]

Very good info! How have I gone this long and not known that?
Thank you very much!

[Larry Brewer]

Ah ha! That worked just fine. Thank you very much.

While everyone is correct in asking why you would want to do this, and most PCs are best left alone during rendering… if this is something you need to do, or if maybe you are just curious how it could be done… then try this. press ctrl, alt, and delete and the same time to open TASK MANAGER. Select the PROCESSES tab. locate VEGAS and right click on it. go to the SET AFFINITY and start unchecking cores.

Having said that.. if your goal is to improve multitasking during rendering, that is not such a good idea for many reasons. Slows down rendering, and it introduces the possibility of a glitch in the render.

On my PC after Vegas is closed and reopened the settings go back to ALL cores running, and that’s probably where you need to leave it. Hope this helps! Proceed at your own risk.

I guess I’m fortunate in that my renders are fine, just the previews.

As you can see there is no text over this single video track.

I’ll do some more experimenting and maybe find some more clues.

Thanks for the replies.

Looking to capture some D2 to hard drive. Can I ask how your AJA C10PS converter worked for you?

[Larry Brewer]

Most of my projects are shot in HD, and are released in HD. So HD 1080 is my default properties setting. Of course my clients are always wanting a DVD and very few have BluRay so I generally render a standard def mpg2 copy of their show in SD 16×9. I guess that can be a problem if I’m expecting multi-layered graphics of different resolutions to render out the same in both HD and SD. I’m sure the solution would be to render an HD version, bring that back to the timeline and render an SD version of the HD clip.

That will be my new workflow going forward.

Thanks again.
