I have indeed and a they got a bit cross with me 🙂 To quote:

‘If you just want to tell your story and rationalize, do so in the Off Topic forum. I don’t find it particularly interesting’ and another guy was a bit more helpful by suggesting I could reset the program. I haven’t had any advance on that yet.

I’m just seeing if a) anyone had the same…

My error message when it stops rendering (nearly always at 2% on a range of various veg files) – never got this with V17 on the same files –

Hi, a rendering set of questions.

1) Are there any known issues about rendering with V18 compared to V17 or anyone suffered the same and found a solution? I’m having frustratingly massive issues. For me, same workstation, exact same *.veg files the render hangs more often than not (mostly at 2%) in V18, whereas it never did at all with V17. If I c…

Again thank you. I was pretty aware of the green screen comments, done a fair bit of it last few years (learned from all my mistakes!) and you were exactly right about the banding in the sunset sky (the tones in the blue sky especially), which is what made me think the video function on the camera was very good/too compressed but I just want to…

PS just checked out your profile. Wow, those video / adverts are fantastic, very professional!

Hey Blaise, thank you so much for taking the time to reply and for that info, it’s really good to get that sort of specific reply. I didn’t want to waste hours filming my latest video with it if there were going to be issues I’d regret later, wishing I’d got another camera earlier, but thanks to your advice I’m confident to give it a go with the…

Hi, I’m a sony vegas user and been on that Cow forum loads but not been on this one before, so please excuse me if this is a daft or boring novice question! I’m now well set up with hardward and software and, with that quality increase, need to think more about the source product more, the video camera. For years I used 1080p 50fps panasonic…

Thank you Steve for your time and having a think about this. In fact that makes sense as I often had to do that on my old laptop (8Gb ram) with an older Vegas version as it would often crash midway through a big veg file render but be ok with a reboot. My new workstation has 32Gb ram and a 6 Gb video card for GPU so I thought I’d be OK! That said…

Hi Steve, thank you for asking. There will probably be other MP4s in the timeline yes but as the fault has been intermittant on a number of .veg renders I haven’t been keeping a close eye on it, as said they all render fine, if I get this error, if I then close the sony vegas and open up the same .veg file again (it’s like the old IT support…

Hi Graham, thank you for your detailed response. I’ve tried to follow that but not sure I have fully understood, my problem! The codecs I’m using to render are all as supplied with the Sony software (XDCAM EX and MAGIX AVC/AAC MP4 codecs). The fault is also intermittent. I often try and render and I get this error. I close Vegas and open up the…

Hi James – my appologies, I’m not a regular on the forum and I thought you were from Sony giving it a plug when actually you are just trying to be helpful posting useful information; a misunderstanding

I have done and, surprise surprise, still waiting for a reply, however you posted this as ‘WE are happy to announce’ therefore you present yourself as a stakeholder in the update and even ask for feedback, hence my post on here …or don’t you really want any feedback afterall? Besides I find Creative Cow far more proactive and helpful than the…

And its happened again, this time here’s the evidence with a screen shot. As said never got this ever until yesterday’s update.

Problem – I’ve just updated with this latest update today and it has straight away caused a really annoying problem. Neary everytime I go to render it states there is a codec error and stops rendering at 1%. I’ve found if I close vegas and go back in again it then renders ok. I’ve updated all the latest drivers and have a very hi-spec workstation…
