Hi. I recently rebuilt my PC and began using a Ryzen 7 2700x. In Vegas, I have the option to use AMD VCE as an encode mode. When I click render, I get the "An error occurred while creating the media file ____" message.
My render settings and the error message: https://imgur.com/a/DHxzj9b
What GPU model are you using? It may not support 4K rendering.

The R9 390 supports VCE 2.0 and 3.0 or higher is required for 4k and UHD. It will render 1080 and should render 2K.

Okay, thanks! Have any suggestions for good GPUs under $500 that would do the job and then some? Looking for something equivalent or better than my current GPU.
I'm not up to date on what the latest and greatest, so I'll defer recommendation to other members here with a whole lot more experience and wisdom in that department.
Well, if you want to stay AMD, you have the RX570, RX580, RX590, or the Vega 56, and possibly the Vega 64 depending on model and current pricing.
If you want nVidia, GTX 1060, 1070, or 1080 though pricing on these "new" has probably "sky-rocketed" lately due to nVidia End-of-Lifing them. I am not a proponent of buying used for graphics cards, though "Your Mileage May Vary". So, that would leave the RTX 2060, with same thoughts on RTX 2070 as with Vega 64.
Won't say anything about the newer GTX 1660Ti, since it is "fresh out of the gate", and definitely deemed more appropriate for gaming.

Thanks for the info. So this should do? I don't care for brands, just compatibility and performance.

My guess would be "yes".
Here's the Puget Systems test, along with some other cards: RTX 2070 . They don't test on Vegas Pro/Movie Studio, but you can "glean" the information based on from DaVinci Resolve and the Premiere Pro tests. It is very difficult to find any testing of nVidia or AMD cards with purely Workstation and/or Application performance on YouTube, as most of the reviews concern themselves with gaming. And the few you find that talk about rendering performance, or more importantly editing timeline, is even rare, with most using Premiere Pro (you know, because that is the most widely used Professional Editing program 😢). You can also go out to the "Techgage" website, or YouTube channel, as that channel/site is one of the few exceptions that does do testing within Vegas Pro (version 16).
Basically, most of the cards I mentioned will do fine, as well as the one you are looking at. I have the GTX 1080 version of that card, which I purchased shortly after the "Pascal" series launched. Works fine for me, which is all I ask of it!
But if you do go with this card, prior to installation in your system, get out on the web, download the driver from nVidia's site, search for "DDU", and run it. It will remove the current graphics drivers from your system, then you can shut down your rig, open her up, remove the old card, then install the new one. Now fire the 'ol girl up and run the nVidia driver installation (your choice if you want to install GeForce Experience or not - my recommendation is "No", as most using Vegas Pro/Movie Studio recommend internal recording with OBS and not ShadowPlay!)
What GPU model are you using? It may not support 4K rendering.
AMD cards with similar performance as your R9 390 would be the R9 Fury, R9 Fury X, and R9 Nano, but they can render at 4K using VCE. The Vega 56, 64, and Frontier Edition series will also render VCE at 4K and will have higher GPU performance (helps for GPU supported FX).
The bottom line for me -- AMD cards tend to work the best with Vegas with real-time time-line playback performance. The decreased rendering times using VCE are a bonus.
