Render Error

I am trying to render a slide show made up of JPEG images, a sound track and various titles and transitions. About 30 seconds into the render I get an error message:

An error occurred while creating the media file ....mp4

The reason for the error could not be determined.

@DavidFG Some info would help.

  1. Your VP version and build
  2. Your GPU and its build number
  3. Have you previously been able to render similar slideshows?

Nvidia driver issue? https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/rendering-issues-after-gpu-replacement-nvenc--150382/#ca946155

Did you update your driver recently to 591.44? Try reverting to the suggested earlier driver build.

Hi, I changed the Nvidia driver to the studio version and this solved the problem.

Thanks
