Sony Vegas Pro 13 stops rendering / crashes during rendering

Version: Vegas Pro 13 (build 310)

Windows 10 build 19042

Application: Streamlabs OBS

Destination: Youtube

Render format: Sony AVC Internet

Specs:

GPU: Gigabyte nvidia RTX 2070 Super

CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x

RAM: Crucial Ballistix 16GB DDR4 3200MHz

MOBO: Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro

Power supply: Corsair RM750

The problem:

I’ve been working on a video for a week (with several annoying crashes in the process.....) and the result (not the final one) is a 6 minutes and 25 seconds long video which SVP13 won’t render. I decided to check if the program could render the temporary result, but it just can’t.
Initially, the problem was that very frustrating “Vegas Pro has stopped working” pop-up that randomly appeared during the rendering process (providing no details), so I tried some of the common solutions to this. Here what I tried:

- Disabled GPU acceleration

- Set dynamic RAM preview to 0

- Disabled multi-core rendering in the internal tab

- Disabled opencl in the internal tab

- Set “cpu only” in the render option in the customize template tab when “rendering as”

- Finally I tried to render 3 sub-parts of the project (using the loop region)

When rendering theese shorter parts of the project, it crashed a few times, but somehow I obtained the three sub-videos.
I tried to stitch together thoose parts and render the result, but the problem became another one: now, when rendering, the program just freezes at some point. The timer keeps going but the “%” remains the same.

So I tried to save the project with name, open a new one, import the saved project as media (so that the three parts become a whole) and render, but the problem is the same. It won’t finish rendering.

I tried using a default template (Sony AVC internet 1080p-30fps) and the program was able to render it. But when I try to set FPS to 59.94 NTSC, the problem persists.

So I went back to the default template (30fps) and I tried to double the video to see if the problem was related to the 60FPS, and the program failed again. It stucked at 84% for no reason.

This is driving me crazy, I’m begging you for help.

I don't know how to advise you with Sony Vegas 13. It is seven year old software, and many things have changed, including drivers and system requirements.

You have version 310, which is VERY early. The latest post-acquisition update is #545, and you should find it available on this site or here.

You can sometimes find more current versions on sites such as Humble Bundle, Steam, Pinquin, and G2A. I don't recommend downloading from anywhere else, and if you did, you will need to contact your seller for all support.

@Nymo - I agree with @Musicvid . If you have a registered copy of VP13 with that earlier Build I’d advise you to get in touch with MAGIX.COM Customer Services.
