Is this an issue with the update and is anyone else experiencing this?

I do not see such things, also not with a test of 2 hours project with 4K AVC and HEVC sources

I have a pretty solid PC I'm operating

Tell us the hardware:

- Processor
- GPU (s??)
- Driverversions(exact numbers)
- Windows version
 

 

Thanks for responding.

I'm running the following;

Processor - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6 Core 3.6GHz

GPU - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070

Driver versions (not sure about this one. I use Driver Easy to keep everything up to date and all are up to date.)

Windows 10 - Version 21H2

Just to add, I tried disabling GPU on Vegas Pro and the render jammed on 30% again.

My current plan is to uninstall the software and reinstall an earlier build to try resolve the issue. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated though.

Driver versions (not sure about this one. I use Driver Easy to keep everything up to date and all are up to date.)

Hello,

I appear to have fixed the issue by uninstalling Vegas 19 and reinstalling an earlier build. It now renders with no issue. It is clearly a problem since the last update.

@Paul-McIntyre Hi, as j-v says Help will show the drivers but Nvidia Geforce Experience is what i use to keep GPU drivers up to date, Studio driver is the one you want https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/geforce-experience/

Thank you.

I installed that driver yesterday in the hopes to solve this issue and also have Geforce Experience installed for that reason. It is very odd because the new update wont let me render and my Vegas was crashing a lot during the editing process. I am just thankful that I had an old installation file for Vegas 19 that I was able to install instead, because now it appears to be working fine, which says to me it's not an issue on my end alone.

@Paul-McIntyre hmm curious 🤷‍♂️

If you're using one particular type of file there's a tool called MediaInfo, download it, it's free https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo
After downloading, right click on the media in your Windows folder, open MediaInfo, choose Text from the View option, select all, copy & paste in a comment here,

Don't know if this will help in the slightest, but to clear out crap if i think there's a bug in my system, i goto C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local\VEGAS Pro\19.0 & delete everything, Vegas will be slow to open next time but will rebuild all those files & maybe that'll repair a 'link',

also to clear crap from my pc - System - Storage - Temp files,, I tick all boxes n delete,

Can you go to your icon at the top, click it - My Profile, & fill in your Signature with your Vegas version, Windows version & system specs, full name of CPU, GPU, & amount of RAM etc. this will then show at the bottom of the comments

When you say delete everything, is this including files and folders?

Also I am unsure what the purpose of MediaInfo is?

Sorry, I am very much self-taught at this stuff so I am not very clued up on the troubleshooting side of things.

Okay so it rendered the first draft, I made some adjustments and now we are back to square one with it jamming during rendering at 68%. This is so frustrating.

Here you go :)

@Paul-McIntyre Different media can have different effects on Vegas, some it likes some it doesn't, MediaInfo shows the details of that media,

delete everything, is this including files and folders? which one are you talking about, the file for Vegas AppData is just 'temp build' files, yes select all n delete, Vegas will recreate all those,

In System - Storage - Temp files there is no 'files n folders' , you can decide which to delete but i just tick all,

If your render is failing at a similar point each time, have a look on the timeline & see if there's an event/media that's different or has an fx on it, sometimes just a simple rotation of the image or a change in media from landscape 16:9 to portrait 9:16, or an fx that is hard to deal with, any can mess with Vegas's head. There was someone last yr, his project would render slow but ok, no fx's but when it got to a bit of media that was portrait not landscape it would crash, this was all because of the type of media + the change in aspect ratio 🤷‍♂️

' I made some adjustments' ? was this to the media or to Vegas? my Vegas is pretty much at the default settings,

@Paul-McIntyre yep same as me

Thanks again,

I haven't used any different media compared to what I usually use. All it is, is MP4 files, MP3 and PNGs. So I can't comprehend how it would be a file type issue.

I have now cleared out all the temp files and ran the render again but still without luck.

I have had a look at the part where it continues to jam and I cannot figure out what it could be. If it were near the end of the video, I would understand as I have a few effects on but in this particular area it is no different that the rest.

The adjustments I had to make was some cropping on some clips. I have used event pan/crop to resize some clips. I have multiple streams of video running simultaneously in the video in which 4 perspectives can be seen at once. Before I adjusted them, it had reset to 1 clip on screen which may explain why it worked okay.

I have just updated (again) to the current Vegas 19 update as the issue appears to be somewhere else.

The render I have just done has failed again however, in the exact spot so I am going to try investigate it further.

Really appreciating the assistance.

@Paul-McIntyre MP4 is just a container, within that container can be different info/formats/codecs, that's where MediaInfo comes in, 😉👍

Can you go to your icon at the top, click it - My Profile, & fill in your Signature with your Vegas version, Windows version & system specs, full name of CPU, GPU, & amount of RAM etc. this will then show at the bottom of the comments 

👍😉

Sorry, I will definitely update that in a moment. I do however think you have figured out the solution. I just deleted that clip at the 68% mark and it appears to be working. A bit bizarre given that it is just a split section of the clip before it, but for whatever reason it looks like it was corrupting the file.

I will update all that info in my signature once the render is done, or crashes.

@Paul-McIntyre for some reason i can't upload videos on here so this is on YT,

MediaInfo, https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo you'll be able to analyse that dodgy clip you removed, the more you use this tool the easier it is to understand at least the basics,
