Hi All,
I've been having very long rendering times since switching to VP14 from SVP13. For example, a 2 1/2 minute test video, with 2 clips and 3 plug-ins on each, is taking 35 minutes to render (doesn't seem to matter much what format I'm rendering to). So I (and a few others here) would really like to know what your typical render times are and what GPU (and CPU+ram) you are using. One or more sample times would be appreciated.
You should share a veg file together with the video files to get a fair comparison.
Yes, some sort of "programme" needs to be set or the results will be unintelligible. There actually have been quite a few projects of this kind in the past, but obviously with earlier versions of Vegas (I don't think you will find any remarkable differences between 13 and 14, but hey you never know.)
My old i7 nehalem with amd 290, plenty of ram and a good disk subsystem will render most HD stuff pretty near real time, and only chokes on HEVC renders with effects like FilmConvert & Mercalli applied - that scenario MAY be as slow as your 2 1/2 to 35 example.

I thought of doing that, but felt that might be asking a bit too much of group members. Whereas I didn't expect the responses to constitute a scientific compilation, I felt it would give some sort of a base line against which to compare. Also, if one card or another tended to show up with faster times, that might be something to explore.
Len, in order to make a somewhat reasonable duplication of your environment, please tell us what format your project settings are, what format your input footage is, which effects you are applying and what template you are rendering to. Otherwise results will be all over the map.
Is the red car project somewhere available? There is the most of empirical knowledge.
