Render

I need a tip for a low profile render with a smaller footprint so I can send various versions to others for comparison. It's about a 2 or 3 minute clip.

I would use main concept along with AAC for DVDs but I just want to shoot these out for quick comparisons.

Thanks

What version of VEGAS?

For compatibility, MagixAVC with Mainconcept is foolproof. For file sizes MagixHEVC gives similar quality with less than half the bitrate (conservatively).

Thanks Roger I'm using Vegas Pro 21.

Those render options are available in 21.

Thank you sir worked like a charm much easier to share different versions!

Excellent, that's good to hear. If quality doesn't matter as much MagixAVC with a GPU encoder will be significantly faster (3x?) It's just not quite as good for a given bitrate and it seems like filesize is important here. I do my draft renders with NVENC as it's good enoughf.
