Slectively Prerender Video

Having a bit of trouble with this, when I use it the audio sounds scratchy and the video cuts in and out on my external monitor going to blue and then coming back, or it plays back jumpy in the preview window. Am I missing something ?

Tried cleaning up your prerendering folder? - G

Ayup, tried that and tried doing it again, same thing. The only time I've seen this is when trying to multitask while simultaneously printing to tape. In this though I was doing nothing while it was prerendering and after it didnt work the first time I closed down every optional program that was running, also tried setting the priority for Vegas higher in Windows.

Hey Ray -

Vegas defaults pre-renders to the C: drive - try prerendering to your D: or other - it might help.

I use a separate firewire drive for every project I produce - you can pick up 40Gig drives for under $50. I put EVERYTHING on the drive - the VEG files, the media, ACID files, stills, scripts, budgets, bills - everything. Keeping the media separate from the OS and the Program definitely speeds things up.

Plus -
A - it works great, and I'm NEVER "out of drive space"
B - when I have to revise or find something, I know exactly where to look
C - I never erase anything (and later REGRET it) - to make a little "I need it NOW" drive space.
