Batch Render - "Exception thrown by method called"

Did you also create a region for each segment?

Yes of course. I know how to use batch render, it’s just that it’s not completing more than approx 3 regions at a time. Sometimes less.

@edlerman, I was just throwing out other possibilities/settings to try to see if any of those changes would allow it to proceed instead of cause the error hoping to see if some specific setting was triggering the issue.

The exception shown in this thread occurs when the Render Progress Dialog is updating its information. It is attempting to read the current disk usage information. Windows is throwing an exception as-if the drive were no longer present. That portion of VEGAS Pro needs improvement. I will add a bug for this in our tracking system.

It is unclear why, in some situations, Windows is acting as if the disk drive is no longer present.

It is possible, I suppose, that Windows is powering down drives that it thinks are not in active use; or powering down the USB connection for external drives that it thinks are not in active use.

To avoid this, it might be worth ensuring that the active Windows power plan is configured to not power down drives or USB devices.

thank you for your excellent reply!

can you advise how I would check my windows power plan? All I can find is monitor and sleep settings which I’ve changed from 3 to 5 hours.

the issue in the original post usually happens around 20-90 mins into the render process though, so I’m thinking it’s another power setting id need to change. As I said before I’m still not the most experienced at this, but am trying :).

thanks!

Open Settings - Power and Sleep - click on Additional Power settings - click on Change Plan Settings - click on Change Advanced Power Settings

Thank you! I've upped that from 20 to 120 mins! Will see if it helps :).

Unfortunately, it's still not working properly. This is an error i got half way through a batch render of just two regions.

I`ve installed Vegas Pro 20 lately and this error again ocurrs.

In Vegas Pro 19 the error was sucessfuly fixed by increasing minutes setting, you have mentioned in the last post, but in Vegas Pro 20 error reoccurred :(

I didn`t change minutes settings in power option and I still have 4320 minutes applied.

 

I got error message:

Do you have some clue for it?

I am 42. I have been creating videos since 2009 (the date when my first daughter was born in). My first video software was Pinnacle, next one was Sony Vegas 8 (I am not sure if remember it correctly). I am also a developer and wedding movie operator and editor. For example: I have created an Android app which let me control Vegas Pro rendering progress level on Android smartphone. I created it for fun, because I also love programming. I also created my own plugin for Audio To Text feature specified usage from Vegas Pro 19. I created proxy creation plugin which uses multiple GPU threads (maximum 3) to create proxy files for Vegas Pro. I also written many others plugin/softwares which enhance my video editing, also wedding editing.

This would be something that I would not be able to do anything about. @VEGASNeal1 would have to do more research - so that might take some time.

I have just noticed that the error is thrown just after 20 minutes of rendering, even if I have 4320 minutes setting in power Window options. Maybe I should set up these 4320 minutes for each available discs seperately if it is possible in Windows 10 at all?

 

Today I got the error message:

I would certainly try that.
