Using Vegas Pro 10e. Such a simple project *sigh*. I have about 10 pictures that I fly in and out of the various sides of the frame using pan/crop events in a 7 second clip. It's supposed to be the intro for a series I'm producing.
When I go to render, at about 35% the rendering stops. My only option is to hit Cancel. When I do, the render dialog stays there with the text "Render cancelled by user". Vegas is unresponsive, and if I try to close the window I get a dialog:
---------------------------
Vegas Pro 10.0
---------------------------
A background operation is currently in progress.
Vegas Pro cannot shut down until this operation is complete or cancelled.
Would you like to cancel this operation?
---------------------------
Yes No
---------------------------
Doesn't matter which I chose, Vegas remains unresponsive. I have to kill the process from task manager. I've tried rendering with mp4, DNxHD, wmv, all with the same results, so format doesn't matter.
Has anyone else ran into problems like this, or remember other users experiencing something similar? Can anyone try this to see if it works for them?
It literally takes about 2 minutes to set it up:
- Set project settings to any size, any frame rate
- Drop a jpeg directly on the timeline (or you can put it in media, it doesn't matter)
- Click on the Event pan/crop icon, right-click in the frame and choose Match Output Aspect
- Resize the frame outline to be twice as large as the photo and then drag the frame outline outside of the photo
- Click on the Last Keyframe button
- Drag the frame outline to the opposite side of the photo
- Render to video using any settings you want
If it repros it shouldn't make it all the way to 100%. It seems that the problem stems from resizing the frame. If I keep the frame indicator around the same size as the source photo I can render. However, if I resize it larger or smaller Vegas fails during the render. Also playing it back on the timeline will cause Vegas to lock up and stop responding.
Very frustrating that something so simple causes this type of problem. I really need this as photos are the basis of what the video series is all about (I'm a photographer and I need a somewhat flashy way to display my work.)
