Hi,
My footage is 3840x2160 59.94 fps
I render it out using the Sony S Long XAVC
My only problem is that it takes forever to render, and there is no option for GPU. I'm on a i7-6800. A 3 hour footage is at 17 hours and still rendering! Is there a faster template that I can use that still gives me excellent video quality. I really like the Sony S XAVC, but it's too slow. Thanks
Try Magix Intermediate Codec and see if you get better results. I'm sure there's some other codecs others here can recommend as well, like Cineform, Magic YUV, or DNxHR.

What is the goal of your export?
This goal is most important to decide which codec and template the best is to use.
The goal is to be faster...it took over 18 hours...but with the best quality. I usually feed the output to handbrake to reduce the size.
"Magix Intermediate Codec" which template is that?
Which Vegas version do you work with?
What's the goal to play those by handbrake reduced filesize video's (format?) on?
Own TV. TV station, YT, computer, laptop, smartphone, tablet, big screens with beamer a.s.o.?
Vegas V15.
It's weddings that I give the couple a usb key. I only use handbrake if I need to reduce the size a little bit.
You could try to use in VPro 15 the Magix AVC codec with this GPU accelerated default template
With me it renders a file with this template 2,5 x realtime with VPro 15
Your template renders the same file 6 x realtime.
Both files have the extension mp4 and these are the file properties of both
I see no quality difference between the two files ( maybe with the excuse that my eyes are already 72 years old and suffered from a lot of chemo's 😄😇)
I get a crash when going magix.I tried re-starting and same thing.Card is AMD R9 390
.
However if I select the Encode Mode of Mainconcept AVC, it doesn't crash, but it's very slow to render out 4k.
How are people rendering out 4K???
Try to update your GPU drivers, and also make sure you are using the latest version of Vegas 15. I usually use Magix AVC to render out, using NVENC (I have an Nvidia GPU). Render speed is usually pretty fast at 4K. I use HEVC for HDR (Vegas 16). Better quality, but takes longer to encode.
You want to use Magix AVC to deliver the product to the client, as most of them won't have the software necessary to play back XAVC, ProRes, or any of the other less compressed codecs. AVC is pretty much universally compatible. Once you get your GPU acceleration working, you will get better results with AVC encode time. Worst case, you can frame serve to handbrake.
Using the latest of V15 and updated my drivers to the latest versions...Still crashes with same error. :(
"Magix Intermediate Codec" which template is that?
It's the new name for MAGIX ProRes. But I agree that you should deliver AVC to your customers and not that.
