I tried them all, from turning off GPU acceleration to reducing the number of CPU’s cores allocated to Vegas. On the internet there were several solutions offered to fix rendering and general crashes with Vegas. I tried again, same result, tried many different rendering templates and settings, still same.
The estimated time remaining kept on ticking, getting higher and higher, until it had reached 19 hours! You couldn’t cancel nor quit the software with the only solution being resorting to the task manager to force quit the software.
So on my first full new video edit (around 25 mins long) I started the render with my preferred settings and it seemed to be working but then got stuck at 2% exactly on the transition from the second scene to the third. So the extended GPU hardware acceleration would seem to benefit those with less powerful CPU’s than those with a powerful CPU which can number crunch quickly anyway. I have seen other videos where people haven’t seen quite this improvement, but they seem to have much more powerful systems than myself. In fact the speed improvement was gigantic for me, with tests showing between 2 and nearly 4 times speed increase in rendering times.
Before paying my money I did some tests rendering sections of existing video and all seem fine and the speed improvement was indeed very impressive, in particular on older or less powerful CPU machines (which my cheap laptop is).
So I committed and purchased an upgrade license to use Vegas Pro 15. In addition the pro version offered some features I’d wanted for some time (although not essential). But time moves on and as I’d seen reviews for the speed increase offered in Vegas 15 Pro I decided an upgrade was in order. I’ve been using Sony Vegas 11 Studio for several years and it’s been in my opinion an excellent editor with a user interface that isn’t that steep to learn the basics quickly.
Not sure how Magix handles requests.OK, apologises for this off-topic post, although it is a technology thing I suppose! Just wanted this out on the internet in case anyone else has this issue as I could not find this solution anywhere. I will say I'm discovering all the advantages of using Vegasaur's transcoder, but something as simple as "render as" isn't something a person should have to put up with.īTW, I think I probably put in a support request before iggy and still haven't received a response. Otherwise, it makes working in Vegas 15 a PIA. My hope is the coders already know what the problem is and will correct it with the next release. Perhaps a faulty registry entry, but that doesn't make sense considering iggy's ability to get it to work by resetting to defaults (I can't even do that). Perhaps a permission pulling a file needed to start the "render as" dialog.
I believe Vegas is throwing an error code and can't figure out how to handle it. I've never even been able to get the "render as" dialog box to open to make a change. The problem is the render dialog option window doesn't even open, just returns the error this thread is addressing. In other words, it isn't that Vegas 15 can't render. Rendering via batch script or Vegasaur's transcoder works just fine. I don't believe this is a "rendering" issue per se.
