Why does this happen?
Does Vegas 15 actually work for anyone? I've only opened old projects and every one of them crash. This job was simple, I put an hour long 4k mp4 in the timeline and rendered it as a ProRes 422HQ.
Does anyone do real, paid work in Vegas 15? ASIO still doesn't work, and now I can't even render a project with no edits.
I hope there will be a stable update soon. I really don't want to learn Premier :(

My PC is new: Asus MB, 64GB ram, 16 core i9, GTX 1080 Ti. Windows 10.
Though with different media and codec, I had the never-ending rendering occur many years ago. The solution at the time was to turn off GPU acceleration under Options/Preferences/Video.
There are some troubleshooting tips here: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/faq-how-can-i-stop-vegas-pro-hanging-or-crashing-during-rendering--104786/
Try disabling your internal GPU in Bios. Worked for me so far for XAVC..but I don't do ProRes so I couldn't tell..
Thanks for the suggestions. I waited a while, and then hit cancel. It appears to have rendered correctly. Before, when I wrote this post, the file size showed 0kb in explorer, but when I right-clicked and clicked properties, it showed 150GB. An hour or so later after I clicked cancel, the file size shows 250GB. I would have though that maybe it was still rendering, but the CPUs were all at idle.
FYI - During the rendering, 7 of the 32 CPUs were at 100%, and the rest were between 30% and 50%. Task manager showed average use at 50%.
Is there an option to bypass the GPU in rendering, but keep it on for editing? My understanding of Vegas, is that the timeline is where you get the most benefit from the GPU.

I don't know about the current version of Vegas, but previous versions would always render a temp file when rendering MOV files. After that was rendered and 100% was reported, it then needed to transfer the temp file to the final file. If you noticed your harddrives still working although rendering was finished, this is what was happening.

GPU accelerated plugins massively reduce render times with a card like a 1080TI. Although you have a 32thread cpu i only have 8. Maybe not so much of difference for you

This can happen if you are observing the render location by the windows explorer in advance, the windows gui does not always refresh itself, but after pressing the refresh icon, you have the correct file size.
lol i cant believe you wait for 3 hours , you just have to restart it
