I haven't experienced any issues with editing and rendering 4K video, but my computer build is different than yours.

Look in my sig to see computer build.

I am using DJI Osmo pocket videos to make a movie. The footage is 4K 50p

I want to render the finished video back to 4K 50p,

Render settings: MAGIX AVC/AAC MP4, Internet UHD 2160p 50 fps (NVIDIA NVENC)

but when the rendering comes to the first dissolve transision, the rendering stops.

 

In VMS16 GPU acceleration of video processing is switched off by default. You could try to switch it off also in Vpro17 and see if it makes a difference.

Another option is to use the MAGIX AVC/AAC Mp4 Internet UHD 2160p50 render template instead of the NVIDIA NVENC. Or installing Voukoder, renders everything without issues.

I use the same footage as you DJI Osmo Pocket 2160p50, having the same problems with rendering MAGIX AVC NVENC with my GTX videocard, but none with Voukoder.

Does it do the same if you render to a software codec, such as XAVC?

The problem is when I set the render settings to MAGIX AVC/AAC MP4, Internet UHD 2160p 50 fps (NVIDIA NVENC), not any other render settings.

I want to use that setting to utilize the speed of my Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti card.

That rendering goes very fast, and it works in Vegas Movie studio 16, so why not in Vegas Pro 17 ???

The problem is that I can't import my project from Vegas Pro to Vegas Movie studio 16 and render it there, I have to start over again.

If you have the same effects and mediagenerators used in Vpro 17 also in VMS 16 to can start both and copy all of your timeline to your timeline in VMS 16

I'm always wondering that the speed of the rendering process seems to be the most important. When I see how many hours spending on editing a project, I don't care about the few minutes more or less the final rendering takes. For me it's important that I have a smooth preview while editing and a final output in good quality and small file size without struggling with rendertemplates, latest GPU drivers etc. For this purpose Voukoder is perfect.

I think that some editors spill far more time (and money) in tweaking Vegas to get the fastest renderspeeds, than the time they ever will save with those fast renderings.

Yes I'm having these exact issues with my Nvidia GTX 1660 ti GPU. I have an 8min timeline, where rendering stops at a specific shot, everything goes to 0 as the Render Timer freezes. If I render from that shot onward to the end, that renders out fine. But I can't render out the entire timeline.

As to someone above discussing how we're chasing fast render times with GPU -- yeah, that's why we purchased a computer with a good GPU card, because we have businesses where time is money. Rendering something that normally takes 2-3 hours, instead of the non-GPU speed of 12 hours = money/time/initial investment in laptop.

Has MAGIX and NVIDIA commented yet? I'm really getting tired of these Nvidia issues popping up constantly. Seriously, this is not professional level software with professional tech support.

• Windows 10 latest build
• 24GB RAM
• Laptop: Lenovo Y545
• NVIDIA latest Studio drivers
• GPU turned off at Render
• Dynamic Ram Preview set to 0
• Render threads set to 12 (for my i7 9750 six-core)

@Helge-Volden @Glenn-C Yes, Nvenc is brilliant when it works. Very good quality and exceedingly fast, whats not to like. The only suggestion I can think of is to try varying the RC mode, and Preset settings.

I use item 7, mostly no issues, though with vp17 I need to have Dynamic Ram preview set to zero if its UHD.

VP16 is more stable. Maybe there’ll be a final vp17 update before VP18 release.

I did this a while back with just some of the different combinations, hopefully it might improve things.

Beware that although item 11 is best quality above, it has massive seek times, probably only suitable for streaming.

Note that there is a later version than what you are using, b421, i.e. b452.

I have the current 452 version of VP17.

As far as the chart, I didn't understand it. I'd need a legend or explanation.

Yes, @Glenn-C, @Helge-Volden posted he was using an earlier version.

Re: a legend, the items displayed in the table are simply some of the different combinations that are available with the Magix Nvenc encoder render template. If you’re not using Nvenc then I understand you may not be familiar with them.

I mention this because I have previously had issues rendering with Nvenc, zero byte files etc. The table highlights the ones to avoid having this happen, in my case anyway.
