Just had this very same problem. I finally rid the system of Windows 8.1 and went back to Windows 7.
You didn’t say which O/S you’re using – would be interesting if it is also 8.1
Cheers, Steve

“I would try disabling GPU acceleration during editing”
Yes, I had both disabled in the render page, but also the Properties page. No diff“Have you considered rolling back to Windows 7”
Both systems were fresh installs – so no rollbackI’m now installing win7 on the Dell, and will try Win10 on the i7-6700 box.
I agree with you re Win-8.1 – the equiv of Vista.“downgrading the nvidia driver seemed”
Yes, I had downgrade the video driver. BTW, the most recent NVIDIA drivers
caused problems on my trusty Dell 8500 – so rolled that one back a month ago
or so.I will update the thread after both systems have been reinstalled.
Thanks, Steve

Hi Nigel, thanks for responding.
The PC in question is an i7-6700 4GHz w/ 32GB RAM and a GTX-970 – No RAID – Win8.1
Output template is MainConcept mp4 720p. Camera captures are 1080p.Regardless of what effects I might have attached to clips the bottom line is that this
phenomenon came on abruptly – I think – after the last slew of patches. I can render
the same project on an old Dell 8500 in about three hours.
My (once) speedy system now takes about 30hrs!I did a system restore to a time (~3 weeks) when I’m 99% sure Vegas was rendering
as per normal. Besides the subsequent nasty booting issue which ensued, once the
PC was back online there was no diff in the rendering speed.I’ve ran benchmarking s/w on all computers. They all comes in the ‘normal’ range,
so this leads me to believe it’s a Vegas issue.Actually, I have another computer – Dell 8700 – also with Win 8.1, and also having
bizarre Vegas issues (video intermittently turns to black; vegas crashes).
I’m at the point of reverting both computers to Win7, as my old trusty Dell 8500 with
Win7 has been very reliable. I’m nervous now having one computer to render with.Still debating whether to do a Vegas reinstall. Guess it’s worth a try.
Regards, Steve

Gilles, You made mention of making changes to tracks before you enter the multicam setup. You will find that many changes are undone/removed as you switch to multicam. Pan/Crops/etc/ are rudely discarded.
I don’t understand why this is.
My only workaround is to modify the tracks, then render to new tracks – then multicam. Very time consuming.

Tiffany,
I received an email this a.m. from NewBlue re: two new products – with a 2fer1 offer.
https://www.newbluefx.com/so/sony-gpu-plugins/Nope the link works as I removed my tracking number.

For me Vegas 11 finally fixed GPU processing. It never worked in 10 for anything. I have a GTX465.
Regarding your nvidia card my understanding is the hierarchy of cards (and performance) is
Highest: GTX
Midrange: GT
Lowest: GTSSo, you basically have a low-end nvidia video card.
While now having the GPU speedup for playback and rendering is impressive and nice to have, Sony should have fixed this in V10!
And, I wish they would take a poll of how many of their users actually do 3D anything. Perhaps a little less focus on new unused features such as 3D, and fixing the problems might provide an incentive for others to upgrade.
As a data point, most of my previous projects are not importing/opening without addressing various issues.

In the past Sony included an extra incentive for upgrading. Looks like this time there really isn’t one – just the built-in new titler – which isn’t an extra incentive.

I hope they fix/improve the GPU support for Sony AVC codec. For the life of me I cannot get that to work.
BTW, other utils (with GPU support) work just fine on my computer.

Well I would hope word will get to Sony so they can fix the problem.
Will try to contact support re this issue.

This just started happening to me as well. Must be a new feature of Vegas Pro 9e
