Help with 'render to' Please....

I click and drag above the time ruler to select a section of a clip and then "render as" to a new file.

It works.

Then I do the exact same thing again at a different point.

It doesn't work.

It hangs up the whole Vegas program. The estimated time in the progress box just climbs while progress stays at 0%. Clicking cancel stops the time, but the box doesn't go away and nothing works again until I ctl-alt-del and shut down Vegas. Open it back up and it may or may not work. I have XP home, P4-2.8ghz and 1gb ram. This has worked fine for months. Help!

Can you give us a few more details please?

1. What version of Vegas are you running?
2. What format are you rendering to?
3. What format is your source media? Does it play OK from the timeline, even when you set the loop limits the same as you are attempting to use for your render?

Vegas 3.0c version.
Starting with .avi and rendering to .avi.
Just putting up a 20 min clip and selecting several 2-5 second sections and rendering out to individual short clips so I can delete the big 20 min clip. (basketball highlight video) Only wanting to keep and use a couple minutes from each tape.

1. What codec/template are you using for the AVI render? What codec was used for your source media?
2. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Vegas? (you'll need to have a copy of your serial number handy)

What might be useful to you is Save As a .veg project file, and check the "Copy and trim media with project" checkbox. Save everything to a new folder (you may need to create one first), and you should end up with your .veg file and trimmed media in this new folder.

Hi Mark

Another poster had the same result when they tried rendering avi without audio.

You might make certain that you are using the NTSC DV setting without any tweeking, and make certain the project properties are also NTSC DV. (substitute PAL if applicable)
