Please state your Vegas Pro version.

Can you please guide tome any such source?

I am using Pro 14.

In Options / Preferences / Video check to see if you have a GPU available to help your render speed.

With your system, renders are still likely to be painfully slow.

It's available and the same selection as in your picture is made.

So, basically, I need a faster system?

Can you please guide tome any such source?

Thank yu for your kindness.

A PhD. in navel exploration?

With minor studies in lint, must one presume?

If you're using Vegas 14 with an amd card, first make sure "Allow legacy GPU rendering" is checked off in Preferences, General. Then you should be able to render more quickly using Sony AVC rather than Mainconcept if you choose Internet 1920x1080-30p and then go into "customize template" and change the encode mode to "use GPU if available". If that doesn't speed things up allot, Vegas probably does not like your video board. In which case you can try the XDCAM EX 60i template which is moderately quick without a gpu, customizing the template to change the field order to "progressive"... just make sure you can view the output.

Thank you, sir. I will try it today. Although I am a novice and will require time to process that master level information. But I thank you nevertheless. You have been very kind.

Newer versions of VEGAS Pro make much better use of GPU acceleration and can render many, many times faster as a result by using presets marked by NVENC - For Nvidia Cards. VCE for AMD cards, or quicksync for Intel graphics. Be sure to read the minimum system requirements before upgrading, however, and download the demo to make sure it works well on your system first.

Thank you for pitching in.I will also look into it.

You don't have any sort of hardware encoding on your computer, you wouldn't benefit, you're using a very slow AMD cpu with incorporated gpu back in the day when Ryzen made bad cpu's. You would benefit greatly from a new computer

Thank you for your input, sir. I am considering upgrading my hardware.

Just for information, what the current Vegas Pro would require as a minimum:

Oh, wow. Thank you for the heads-up.

Oh, wow.

Yes, video editing is a challenging job for PCs 😏

I have tried both options.

The first one helped me render the video in an hour. Which was a breezes compared to 3.5 hours.

The XDCAM option helped me render in 28 minutes! Which is like impossible given my previous experience and experiments!

The only thing I need to ask you is: how much will the video quality suffer in your opinion if - when I was Customizing Template there was a checkbox that said, "Prioritize Quality Over Speed."- I uncheck the box and go for speed instead.

Meanwhile, than you for your kind and generous help. You are my hero!

It's best to try it yourself with a short test project of 1-2 minutes and see if you are satisfied with the quality. Nobody here can make this decision for you.
