Rendering very slow (or none at all) Vegas Pro 17 -

I have recently moved to Vegas Pro 17 (pro edit - already had dvd software so just got the pro edit) - while my rendering in vegas movie studio 14, still on my computer is quite quick, in pro 17 it's very slow or not at all - it keeps adding on time and stays at zero forever - if I try to cancel the render it won't let me, and won't let me close program - I have to go to task manager to do it. I tried a couple of times just now and it's faster, but still quite slow - I have windows 10 64 bit - is there something I need to do to get rendering to a normal speed; why is Vegas pro slower than my studio, shouldn't it be the reverse?

We need to know a few things. What are your project settings? What render settings are you using? What are your system specs? There's an FAQ stickied to the top of the forums that tells you what we need to know to help you with your problem. Please read through that, and post the info it requests here. Then we'll have a much better idea of what could be causing your issue. Chances are it's something simple like a driver update or setting change that fixes it.

In terms of settings, it's HD 1080-60i (1920x1080, 29.970 fps); have tried to render at any number of settings including just now at sony avc/mvc memory stick qvga 1128 kbps; in terms of specs, it's an hp pavilion core i5 processor x64, 12 g ram - I just tried to render the file at the mentioned setting (very short, a minute and a half, just two clips from my video camera) and it started to work then seems to be stuck at 4% - and again I have to use task manager to close it; we're talking about what the render option estimates at 5 mbs total); I will read the faq just as soon as I can but hopefully this information helps you identify a core problem - thank you.

I tried updating my graphics driver (intel uhd graphics 620) which was already at 2018 update; it seems to have kept that date for update; anyway now when I went to render it got to 75% fairly quickly - and then just stopped. I have vegas studio 14 on the computer and that is rendering fine. Anybody with any ideas I would greatly appreciate it.

I seem to remember there being an issue with newer intel drivers and Vegas, I remember reading about other users having to use an older driver to make it work right.

You may get a significant decrease in rendering time by selecting Options - Preferences - Deprecated Features - Allow Legacy GPU Rendering and then render with a Sony Format.

As far as stopping and crashing, test render with NO plugins. If the problem is rectified, replace the plugins systematically until the problem resurfaces.

Be safe, stay healthy.

That helped me! Thanks!

I faced the same problem like rob-r, no rendering. After I read your comment I un-installed completely the display driver and I suddenly noticed that Vegas started rendering (not GPU rendering though, due to the lack of driver),

So I started downloading different version of the driver I needed for my intel HD Graphics 4000 card of my laptop. So in conclusion only a driver that is not very old, and also not very new worked> the intel video driver version 10.18.10.3993 (sp7000.exe).

After installing the driver 10.18.10.3993 (sp7000.exe)> Vegas 17 started rendering with Intel QSV (gpu accelerated codec) 1080 and 4K .
