Re: Render video CRASH problem!
 

I Nest! They are great things to have to be able to make simple that which was/is getting crazy . . . .

I don't know WHAT the internal mechanics of the Nest are other than what "we" see is only a scratch proxy file of that other VEG. So, what this means is that when you/we come to render the Parent VEG, whatever is lurking within that Nest needs to be rendered out too. Soooo..... If there are a lot of things going on for that Nest then that will take more time than a Nest that points to a simple Nest Veg - yeah?

Consequently and without trying to "duck" your question, it really does depend on just how complex the Nested VEG is - yeah?

Cheers

Yeah, that's not me! - If it hurts, I ask. If it don't quack like a duck . . it ain't a duck! I may have gathered notoriety as a PITA, but I can't abide with putting up with this stuff if it doesn't perform. If it is broke, then let me know and let's move on and/or tell SCS. If I don't understand I ask . . . and I keep on asking!

James, that's very honest of you to say :"Wish I mentioned the problem sooner!" - It's this awareness/knowledge that makes me keep going.

Cheers Graham.

On a concrete note my render using acceleration that I mentioned earier completed! Yay :- )

Re: Render video CRASH problem!
 

I got this yesterday, twice. Very frustrating after an hour's rendering!

My source footage is HDV 1440x1080 50i, and my project is set the same. There is some Sony Generated Media on the timeline also. I'm rendering to Main Concept .mp4, 1920x1080 25p because it's going to YouTube.

It renders fine in .wmv it seems and randomly will render OK in mp4 but in the latter will also crash just as you describe.

I've read suggestions on this thread but I don't think I'm really asking too much of Vegas as it stands...

Re: Render video CRASH problem!
 

Here's a trick I use for almost all renders when working with a timeline longer than a few minutes.

1. Render the entire project to AVI. It's uncompressed, therefore lossless, but you will need a lot of hard disk space. It's a quick render.

2. Take the new AVI file and place it in a new project. Then, render to whatever format you want. Using this two-step process can actually cut the total rendering time substantially. Also, since AVI is easy for Vegas to process, I have far less crashes.

When I'm done, I delete the AVI file to reclaim the use of my hard disk.
