Vegas freezes after render

Ian Stark · July 2nd, 2009, 07:52 AM

Ah, I'm not alone!

What are your system specs, OS etc, Wade? - and what other s/w and h/w do you have?

Interested to see if there is any commonality.

Ian . . .

Wade Harrington · July 13th, 2009, 01:53 PM

Are you using the auto save plug-in by Ed Troxel?

Graham Bernard · July 13th, 2009, 11:58 PM

Wade, now that is interesting indeed.

All we NOW need to hear is that this is NOT being employed for the purposes in this thread's issues.

I do use Edward's AutoSave and have not had issues with render. And I 've been doing some heavy rendering in the last week. Needed to get some VirtDub out for clients including Magic Bullet video treatment. Heavy rendering . . . .

But I WILL keep a weather-eye open on this for "other" lock-ups though . . thanks for the tip.

Grazie

Just for the record... when a render starts, auto save turns itself off until the render is completed.

Wade - yep, I am. Your thoughts?

Grazie - if you are able (and this may be difficult as it ties the pc up) try leaving the 'render complete' dialogue up on screen for a while (no idea how long). See if that reproduces the issue. I will say that it is seemingly random when it does or does not occur so this may be a fool's errand. If you close the render complete dialogue relatively soon after it appears, the problem will NOT occur.

I stress, I don't think this is a problem with the render process itself - it seems to be a problem with what happens AFTER the render. As I mentioned earlier, it occurs (randomly) regardless of the content being rendered, plugins being used, length of render etc.

Edit: FYI I have also gone through Jeff's suggestions with no joy. I have also pulled the additional RAM. No luck.

REPRO-ED - Feck!!!!!!!

Ian, I hear you baby!

1] I am preparing some 4x3 into a 16x9 for a client to view. Nothing new there then.

2] Rendered out from Vegas; it's saying complete . . . groovy tunes . . . imported to DVDA5 for prep - Checked & looks great.

3] Ah, but hold that thought . . don't touch that dial!!! Switch back to Vegas P9 & I notice that Vegas thinks it should STILL be rendering - and at 100%???

HUNG! - And hung like a Bull Mastiff's dangly bits & swaying in a rank smelling breeze . . Hung like a 4 week old Grouse which was used by a trawler man to wipe down his herring slopped jersey . . . . Hung like a crooked Rothko . . .

And only way to kill it? CTRL+Alt+Delete and Process tree. Or, I'm thinking, a 12-bore?

This AINT heat, this aint memory this is something else.

So, off to SONY Ian! I know I am . . . .

"TAXI!"

If it ain't one thing . . . .

Grazie

Ha! One of the most colourful posts I have read in a while!

OK, so Wade and I aren't going mad. There IS something going awry. Well that's three of us - as you say, Sony time.

Grazie, are you active on the official Sony board (I'm not). Any chance you could drop a post there?

p.s. just wanted to add that I am using 8.0c and Grazie is using 9.

Graham Bernard · July 15th, 2009, 11:14 PM

Sent report off to SCS. Give 'em something to chew over, I'd say.

Grazie

Richard Hunter · July 16th, 2009, 06:47 AM

Grazie, put that down! (Grouse season doesn't start until August 12th.)

Richard

Ian Stark · July 16th, 2009, 10:59 AM

hehehe.

Grazie, how are you filing the report to Sony? Do you have an email address I could have?

Cheers,

Ian . . .

Mike Kujbida · July 16th, 2009, 06:13 PM

Ian, unless Grazie has a direct contact, I always use this page on the Sony site.

BTW, this isn't the first time Grazie has come out with such colourful language :-)

He has an e-mail address you CAN'T have... ;-)

Ian Stark · July 17th, 2009, 12:43 AM

Thanks Mike, duly reported.

Intersting to note there is a thread at the Sony forum as well: Sony Creative Software - Forums - Vegas Pro - Video Messages

Graham Bernard · July 18th, 2009, 02:16 AM

Ian, I was quite certain you were aware of just how to report? This from the SONY website you posted on back in May '08? " I'll open a trouble ticket and see where that leads. " Sony Creative Software - Forums - Vegas Pro - Video Messages

Grazie
