Sony vegas freezes and then crashes while rendering

SimonGhoul wrote on 11/16/2017, 10:14 PM

sony vegas pro 15, I use x264 (cpu encoder), I got intel videocard, and I tried with and without programs open. it doesn't always stop at the same percentage but it can be around that percentage and if I have youtube or something open it's lower. My guess? my computer is not that powerful, but even with nothing open, it just can't do

I got a 1:10 video that has a lot of stuff in it, my guess that's why, I already have hardware acceleration off
There are many clips from jontron, animated text, video effects, a whole 10 minute or 20 minute video (I don't remember) clipped so I only get the part I want which is just a few seconds, cpt. falcon, some more reaction clips, audio effects and many texts since I don't use a microphone

What I am trying to do now is just rendering half of it, 30 minutes (not the exact half but well), but if that doesn't work out what are your suggestions? the video needs to be all together so after I finish rendering the two halfs of it I will put them together and render them
Do you think that will work? do you have any suggestions?

Switch off the GPU support of your graphics card in Preferences/Video tab, restart Vegas and try to render again.

How are you accessing x264?

To what would I switch it up? (sorry if it's obvious, I am not on my computer right now)

Oh sorry, my mistake, I meant just the one on CPU or I dunno what it's called, not the hardware, but the one that already comes with the program

I call it x264, but I guess that's incorrect

Wow that's pretty helpful :P thanks! I'll try that as soon as I can

Also, do you think I can purposely make all these problems happen? I guess I am going to do a video on it, I guess I can, I just wonder how (not for all, some are easy to purposely create)

Something I want to add is the the preview stops always at the same exact time, along with the rendering, is at one of jontron clips

Today I'll try to render parts before that, maybe there's something wrong with it but I dunno what, or maybe that's kind of "the limit" of stuff

Options > Preferences > Video > GOU acceleration of video processing > Off

You mean H.264, which is the same as AVC. Vegas Pro 15 has 3 encoders that can render that, including MAGIX AVC/AAC and Sony AVC/MVC. x264 is a 3rd-party encoder not included in Vegas.

What a question! It sounds like if you want to repeat it for a demo video, you just need to position you "jontron clip" there.

You shouldn't have to render anything in parts to put together later. Follow that post I linked carefully and you should be able to trace your problem.

Oh, I already said I already did that

I thought that x264 was the same as h264, oh well

What if the clip was not the problem?

Tried all of those things, it is that clip but I don't want to delete it
I found out I can render that clip, but I can't render the project (I mean, I opened the jontron clip on a new project, rendered it, and fine, but went back to the whole project, chose only the area that gets broken, no worky)

tried again this time on the whole project choosing only the clip with loop region and it works, it's the transition that doesn't work and there are not effects so I dunno, why?

Well, I deleted that in the end, it was fps or something I dunno, my video had 30fps but the clip 29
I also had to try and render my whole 1 hour video alone :/ to 29.97fps, this is just pissing me off
