Strangely, it still allows the rendering process to continue... but i dare not click the "ok" button on this error incase it stops.

Many thanks to anybody who can assist.

Still getting this error. It doesn't end a render, but it does stop any processing of any future regions.

 

So, if it stops after region 2, of 5, then 3-5 don't get rendered.

I submitted a ticket to Vegas developers, but they replied me that they will not be investigating the issue in the 3rd party C# applications which they didn`t wrote, so @edlerman and me are in that case alone. :( The error is strongly related with rendering call in C# and it is not an error caused by other than Vegas developers. In that case, this error will never be fixed by Vegas developers. I am very sad for such Vegas support approach.

That's such a poor approach from them, as a yearly subscriber i have another 10~ months to go with this error stopping the program functioning as it's meant to.

Hopefully now they see it's not a unique one off case, they may change their mind and look to assist us further.

So this is a script that you wrote?

Other than the other case I mentioned, I have not heard of this issue before. Searching for that error message seems to lead to something totally unrelated - but maybe it's not?

I also never had any issues when using the Vegas batch render script. You can use it to batch render your timeline to several codecs or to batch render several regions on your timeline.

No, the other poster wrote a script.

 

im using the batch render tool that comes with Vegas Pro.

Then this shouldn't apply to @edlerman as that script is included with VEGAS.

@edlerman

What are you render settings using Batch Render?

What format videos do you have on the timeline?

@marcinzm

Same questions, what format are you rendering to?

What formats do you have on the timeline?

Perhaps is a specific renderer that's causing the issue that most of us are not using?

marcinzm wrote on 6/13/2022, 9:08 AM

@jetdv I use Voukouder 3rd party codec which I installed extra in Vegas and render to 4K 25p HEVC mp4 file container. The issue never happens when I render only audio to wav format using my C# application.

@marcinzm, could Voukouder be causing that? What if you render to one of the built-in renderers instead? Do you still see the issue? If not, it might be worth checking with Voukouder's author.

Hello. Batch rendering regions using my standard YouTube Horizontal which i've attached. All .mp4 videos on the timeline.

Please confirm this is what you needed, thanks:

jetdv wrote on 6/13/2022, 10:45 AM

@edlerman, that's your project properties (under File - Properties).

When you open the batch render script, what option do you choose there?

Or, if you went to File - Render As, what would be the option you would choose there?

Let me screenshot the properties for it and attach below.

What sense does it make to render FHD with this bitrate settings?

jetdv wrote on 6/14/2022, 7:12 AM

Here's what I use (I do use GPU Accelerated on the other machine - this one won't):

I agree your bitrate seems excessively high (which also means your files will be excessively large).

I'm wondering if you get the same error if you turn off GPU Acceleration?

What if you use CBR instead of VBR?

What if you reduce the bitrate?

Just trying to narrow down what might be causing the error to trigger and if it might be some specific setting.

At 14,000,000 I'm still getting about 1 Gig for every 10 minutes.

edlerman wrote on 6/14/2022, 8:45 AM

I'm very new to video editing - i used some YouTube walkthroughs to setup this set of specifics. I don't know what FHD means, i only had the bitrate that high due to the video guide saying it doesnt matter if its that high rather higher than lower?

I render these videos for upload on YouTube.

I'll try reducing the bitrate and see how it goes. Thank you :).

FHD stands for Full High Definition video which is video with a 1920x1080 resolution and used to distinguish between HD video resolution which can be 1280x720 or higher.

Still I don't know for which purpose you're using the batch render script and why you're using a modified rendertemplate.

I’m using batch render as I chop up a long 3 hour video into 5-8 segments and batch render allows me to leave it running through the night creating the files I need for the morning.
 

the videos are created for upload on YT.

3POINT wrote on 6/14/2022, 9:58 AM

Did you also create a region for each segment?
