The rendering times may be impressive, but there seems to be a conflict between Ryzen and Vegas Pro. I have the Ryzen 1700x and it is frustrating working with it and Vegas Pro. Anytime you insert a transition between video clips on the Vegas timeline, Vegas stops momentarily at the start of the transition point and then stutters through the transition. And then continues OK until the

next transition  and then does it all again. Final renders are OK - but it is frustrating to have this occur on the timeline. This never happened with my old core I7 4770K cpu. No matter what settings I use, the problem persists.

I see no such conflicts on my 1800x setup.

Have you tried backing down a version on the AMD video driver?

Hi DXDY, I'm not sure that I understand what you mean by "Have you tried backing down a version on the AMD video driver?". What should I try for this purpose? Thanks

Windows uses a driver to support your video card. The drivers are supplied by AMD (or Nvidia). They are large pieces of software, and changes in one part of the driver sometimes have unintended effects in other parts of the driver. Vegas is sensitive to these drivers in many ways. My suggestion is to identify the version of the AMD driver on your system, go online and find an earlier version. Uninstall the existing driver (you can find directions in other posts on this forum), and install the earlier version, and see if that helps your problem.

Just did my first full render on my 1800x. The file was a 3 camera edit (24p AVCHD for each camera, 24mbps with track motion applied to the bottom track to correct a slightly off center wide shot my crew gave me). No effects applied other than that.

Project Length: 59:12:19

Frame Rate: 23.976

Formats Used: AVCHD

Output format: Sony AVC, Internet 1080p Preset, 4 slices

Render Time: 31m 48s

Rendering at just shy of half the total run time of the project.

Figured I'd give a real world example from an actual project, rather than just encode times given on a clip with no effects, only one video track, etc. Granted, this was a pretty minimalist project, and more complex projects will take longer, especially if higher resolutions are used, but this is a definite improvement over my old FX8350 by leaps and bounds.

That didn't produce a usable file. Unless something was wrong with my system, the file wouldn't play back smoothly no matter which app I used to play it. The framerate seemed to stutter. I'm trying mainconcept internet 1080p preset now. The MainConcept encoder seems to be encoding at near real-time.

If you want render time results most can relate to then render the old SCS benchmark project.
