Video Won't Finish Rendering

magicmagicianman wrote on 12/29/2019, 9:43 PM

Vegas Pro Version 15.0 (Build 416)
Windows 10 Home 64-bit version 1803
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7
RAM: 16.0 GB Dual-Channel @ 1463MHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080

I used OBS Studio to record a video, edited it in Vegas Pro, and attempted to render it to upload to YouTube. However, when the rendering gets up to 25% complete, it appears to stop rendering, as I can hear the PC fans die down at that point. The approximate time left continues counting down, while the elapsed time continues counting up. However, it never finishes rendering. The approximate time left reaches zero, but the elapsed time keeps counting up for over a half hour after it should have been finished. I attempted to cancel the rendering, but Vegas Pro locks up, so I used Task Manager to force quit. The resulting file size is always 200.0 MB, regardless of how long or short I let Vegas Pro run after it stops rendering. Even then, the video can't be viewed.

I've tried restarting Vegas Pro, rebooting my PC, updating my drivers, increasing dynamic RAM, and disabling GPU acceleration, to no avail. I have no idea what the problem could be, since I haven't changed any of my settings since my last video rendered successfully.

Thanks for your help.

What format are you rendering to?

Systems:

Desktop

AMD Ryzen 7 1800x 8 core 16 thread at stock speed

64GB 3000mhz DDR4

Geforce RTX 3090

Windows 10

Laptop:

ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo 32GB (9980HK CPU, RTX 2060 GPU, dual 4K touch screens, main one OLED HDR)

I'm rendering to .mp4, as I've successfully done in the past.

Vegas renders to more than one flavor off MP4, there's Sony AVC, Magix AVC,, etc... which codec and template are you using?

It may help to try a different format and see if you can get a successful render out, like render to magix intermediate, then try to go to mp4 from there. That might at least get you going. It could be that Vegas doesn't like the mp4's that obs is generating, you may try to mess with the settings in OBS.

Is it just one capture that does this, or all of them?

I tried a couple of the Magix AVC and other .mp4 formats, to no avail. Upon another suggestion, I tried rendering the raw video files, which worked perfectly. However, upon editing them together, it encountered the same problem, for no apparent reason.

For this video, I've got two recordings that I'm trying to piece together. One is the main recording, while the second has a couple 30-second clips that I want to splice into the main recording. To make the transition, I use a fade to black transition in the last second of the first recording, and then a fade in transition for the second recording. Upon another fade out back to the first recording, it just stops rendering from there. The subsequent fade in never happens, though it plays as intended when I'm not rendering in the preview window. I've also tried editing the video from scratch again, which encounters the same problem. Removing the fade transitions has no effect either.

IT WORKS! I have no idea why, but it resolved the problem perfectly. There appear to be no apparent changes to the video quality. Thank you so much!

It's a known problem with previous versions.

Something to keep in mind, if you try to edit 10 bit files and they will not open, re-enable so4compoundplug.dll, as it is required to open some of them.
