Im a very happy Vegas 4 user, but has since been lured by Avid Xpress Pro software only without mojo, this is due mainly to the speed in which it renders its effects, all i do is just render it from start to end and it finishes its render in roughly 20 to 30 mins (1.5 hours length of edit) i then just record it off the timeline from my dv deck.

Im wondering, the interface of Vegas is much better it is way easier, but my renders take me from 3 to 4 hours why such a big difference? Any tips to speed up renders?

Probably a very large part of the difference is that Vegas does higher quality rendering.

Also, what are you rendering? I can render the same length of a project to DV AVI in relatively little time. To do a true comparison you need to use footage captured in the program (Avid footage in Avid and vidCap in Vegs), same length, and all edits in the same place, with the same SFX. Along with the same computer hardware/software installed (besides NLE). Then render each side by side and see who wins.

I doubt most people do that.
