Hm, doubt that you can render much faster using a laptop.

Feel free to try the benchmarks in my signature to see if it's something specific to your media and project.

Note, you can also upload images to this forum- see the arrow next to the smiley face.

I'm still didn't yet defined what to do about it and the current render speed of my video in fps is 0,12fps. I've tried all different settings for render and don't know what to do. I've tried to export the projects to davinci and premiere pro also but it didn't working. They simply refusing to open my project...

Don't pay attention to 32 floating point idk why it shows it but i've already changed it for 8 bit full range

I didn't see any new benchmarking results submitted. Happy to take a look if you do one using the exact settings written there. The older benchmark works with VP 16 or newer.

Sorry i just don't really know how to use it. I'm quite new to all of this. Now i will try

Yeah, rendering goes well. so maybe footage too hard for this? I'm recording on gopro12 using these specs

If you fill out the form I can give better advice. If dynamic ram preview is at 0MB put it back on the default.

Otherwise it may just be that this GoPro footage is hard to decode so try to choose different settings in your camera that are easier to edit or be patient with your renders.

Agreed. The GoPro settings are at its maximums:

5,3k 60fps and 10bit

... but your computer is somewhat below recommended specifications for 4K Vegas Pro.

If you have an unavoidable need for 5.3K at 10 bits, then you'll need to expect long render times with your current computer.

Maybe do a GoPro comparison test between 5.3k / 10 bit and 4k / 8 bit and see if there is an appreciable difference between the two settings for your editing/rendering experience as well as your end display destination.

@Dexcon Thank you for your sentient reply. GoPro footage is easily one of the most difficult acquisition formats for Vegas to swallow. That is unlikely to change.

Editing and rendering it on a laptop only makes matters worse. Pushing the format to its limits, which are absurd by today's normal delivery standards, makes it a darned near impossible task.

Your suggestion of shooting and producing at something closer to a minimally deliverable format is best described as basic training.

Good job.

@vasya-pauk You are admirable as a new user, since you are honest about your level of experience, and you have not laid claim to knowledge you do not have, nor do you lash out at the software and your peers. Welcome to the discussions; I know you will become a trusted contributor.

One thing you may try, after shooting your GoPro at sane settings, is to first transcode your camera footage to ProRes 422, a Digital Intermediate format, which is a lot easier on the Vegas decoding and processing engine, and "may" render faster for you, contingent on the other filters, effects, and timeline transformations in your Vegas project.

Now I will relax my jaw, and hopefully the bite marks on my tongue will heal quickly.

Thanks I thought about this. Now I will try to convert it to prores.

Yes, i've got accustomed to Vegas from childhood when I was editing some videos from games. Now it seems to me that It didn't changed much and it is still convenient to work in.

@vasya-pauk  ...

Please do a small test transcode to ProRes first. The reason, ProRes transcodes are massively huge compared to the original media size. Try comparing a ProRes render to a MAGIX AVC/AAC render.

Is it the same huge as transcode to DNxHR(mov)? Because I thought to transcode it to this format and tried but has been forced to buy two terabytes external hdd to export transcoded files straight to it. But Vegas is more convenient for me to work in than Davinci. So I suppose Prores is going to be better if there is not much of a difference in sizes

ProRes is great, but let your own transcode tests help you make the decision for yourself.

Thanks a lot, I will try
