Trying to render a video, but it keeps stopping at 64%

You have a rogue event on the timeline at 64%.

Identify it, remove it from your project, and carry on.

What and where is your renderlocation?
Which codec you are rendering with, AVC or HEVC?

Why did you made a selection of the timeline?

I tried that and replaced it with another clip. It still is stopping at 64%. What should I do now? Thanks

It's on my SSD which is NVME. I still have 60GBs available so I don't think storage is a problem. It's rendering to a file called videos also where the VEG project is.

I'm using the AVC codec, I haven't had any issues with it until now.

I made a selection of the timeline because that's usually how I tell Vegas to only render that selection because it's not pictured, but I have some other scrap clips off to the side.

@enenera Thanks for the info.
Have you checked this setting?

Those are the exact settings I have for rendering.

Then I'm out of suggestions for possible causes.
Did you try what @Musicvid suggested in his first comment?
A further possible workaround maybe is to render in 2 or 3 parts and stitch them together with MP4Joiner.

See what frame the render is stopping at (it will be displayed at the bottom of the view viewing window), then look thru all media that are on the timeline at that frame. I have (in the past) found that it was the result of a Sony Fx being applied at that point. An example was the effect was set to go to 100% on the offending frame. When I changed the effect to go to only 99% the file rendered fine.

Some times I feel like a rogue event.

You might not like my solution, but I'd suggestion splitting the clip in two. Render to 63 % to some good edit point, then render the other 37%. Render them as sony xavc mxf files, then re-render those two files in whatever format you want. Not an elegant solution but usually works for me when I have issues.

The other thing is sometimes you can have that happen when the source files are on the same drive as the disk rendered to. However, maybe you are already doing that.

It is hard to say because you don't get a specific error message.

Are there any effects like NewBlue on the timeline?

@enenera - I’ve had this. You need to stop thinking it’s worked before. Well, it’s happening now. As others suggest, you need to nail the Issue Area. Render in Chunks of, say, 20% at a time. Progressively move through the Timeline. Once you get to the “choking” point, now Render well beyond. You say it happens at 64%, then move to 70% and render a Selection. Once you approach/get to the Pinch point and it Fails, Render in small Chunks. Hopefully you WILL identify the exact Region that’s creating the problem. You’ve not lost anything by doing this as you can CHAIN all your Renders back into your Final assemblage. But hopefully you’ll have an option to rectify the Gremlin!

Look, Vegas is choking on something. There’s some maths that’s going on that’s too much for your System. Do try my Regression Analysis approach. As I said, you’ll at least have a Chain of working Renders.
