Batch Render doesn't work - newbie here.

Hi all.

I want to render regions. I chose my format (Main Concept, Internet Portrait) and receive an error:

"An unexpected error has occurred"

Click OK.

"Exception thrown by method called"

Click Details:

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.ApplicationException: Render failed:

    file name: V:\RENDERz\SocialClipsXAVCS MainConcept AVC-AAC_Internet HD 1080p Portrait[0].mp4
    Template: Internet HD 1080p Portrait
   at EntryPoint.DoRender(RenderArgs args)
   at EntryPoint.DoBatchRender(ArrayList selectedTemplates, String basePath, RenderMode renderMode)
   at EntryPoint.FromVegas(Vegas vegas)
   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
   at System.RuntimeMethodHandle.InvokeMethod(Object target, Object[] arguments, Signature sig, Boolean constructor)

   at ScriptPortal.Vegas.ScriptHost.ScriptManager.Run(Assembly asm, String className, String methodName)
   at ScriptPortal.Vegas.ScriptHost.RunScript(Boolean fCompileOnly)

I just bought Vegas 23 the other day having previous had a subscription for a couple of years (but I'm a beginner editor) - I was hoping this would really speed up my workflow! Does anyone have a clue what's causing this or how I can solve it?

Thanks!

Does the same thing happen if you render to the C drive instead of the V drive?

I just tried this - yes, same error :(

What happens if you manually try to render using that template manually.

I ended up just selecting each region manually and rendering as social media portrait clips, that worked fine. But for future work flows it'd be great if this feature worked so I'm willing to try any ideas, thank you!

My last question was to see if, maybe, the template was the issue but it seems that did work fine. What if you try a different batch rendering program - such as Excalibur - as a test?
