No 8K support for rendering in Vegas Pro 17

MarkusG wrote on 11/11/2019, 3:37 AM

I have been using your software since Sony Vegas 13, big fan of it. Bought the version 17 Pro yesterday in hopes I can export rendered 8K footage from my Blackmagic 6K. Unfortunately, even though on the website there is a big tab with clear text stating that 8K is supported, that is not the case in my version. Can you please tell me if it will be supported in a later build? Also, do you have an estimate?

Vegas Pro 17 has full 8k support.... Was my number one reason to upgrade to this new version and i'm not disappointed one bit.

If you've set your Vegas Pro 17 project properties to 8k you'll be able to do 8k export as HEVC, most flavors of AVI and image sequences.

I have no option for 8K. I have looked around everywhere for it.

I use Win 10 Home. My build is 321 for Sony Vegas, so up to date.

I use a laptop to edit: i7 8750h, 64gb DDR4 2666mhz, 1TB SSD + 512 NVME, GTX1080ti.

I cannot see your projectproperties, but I'm sure it is not an 8K project.
Try that one and you'll see the options.
The new update has that already for all project bigger than 4K

@MarkusG note that you seem to have VEGAS Pro 17 build 321 from MAGIX, not Sony/SCS. As j-v says, there is a new update/build released today. You should have an announcement about that when you open your VEGAS Pro 17.

Thank you so much for your help. Problem solved. HEVC codec wasn't active. Everything works fine now.

@Marco.

I’ve noticed that you cannot use any data rate higher than 240 even though there are a lot more and higher options. I tried that on “balanced”.

Using any setting except “balanced” usually means the render never finishes.

VLC (latest version) displays playback of the file as two windows side by side, off colour, although vp displays it ok.
