Bug? Selective prerender renders evering in HDV at DVinfo.net

Laurence Kingston · May 14th, 2007, 02:41 PM

I don't know if this is a general bug or just something wierd on my system, but when I'm working on an HDV project, "selectively prerender video" renders out the entire timeline.

I posted this on the Sony forum and nobody responded so maybe its just my system. Whatever is going on, it's a pretty major problem for me. Can somebody try this on their system and see if it's just me?

Since HDV is MPEG video and Vegas always renders MPEG video, I'm not surprised it would also "pre-render" it. I don't believe "pre-render" will be an advantage to you with HDV.

Actually I was talking about projects using the Cineform Codec. I'm using the new Neo HDV which smartrenders just like SD DV. It would be useful to do this for exactly the same reasons you would want to do it with regular DV codec stuff.

I guess this is becoming more of a feature request than a bug report. It turns out that Vegas only "selectively prerenders" standard definition DV projects. It isn't currently an HDV feature.

It sure would be useful to be able to use this feature, especially with smart-rendering Neo codec AVIs. After all, even an older computer like my P4 3.06 is plenty fast enough to preview SD transitions. It's really only on HDV that I even need this feature.
