Thanks to a comment by 3POINT, I was able to figure out why I was unable to render a 4K video https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/rendering-error-do-i-have-the-correct-settings-vegas-movie-studio-17--121013/#ca754035

By disabling the Options > Preferences > Video > "GPU acceleration of video processing", I realized my video card was the bottleneck as it only has 2GB of memory, and 4GB seem to be required for 4K video rendering. It is time to upgrade the video card.
