If you are using custom settings for rendering, try rendering using a standard template without any customization applied. After editing each section separately, render an intermediate file from each and import them into a new project to stitch together. For example if your project is 30 minutes long, you could work on three 10-minute projects. These include Vegasaur Transcoder ( discussion) and VASST Render Assistant.įurther to that, you could try splitting your project into smaller projects for editing and rendering. Some 3rd-party plugins allow you to automatically render regions. Other good choices for high-quality intermediates might include Sony XAVC Intra, Cineform (installed with GoPro Studio which is now part of GoPro Quik Studio), MagicYUV (lossless VFW codec), and high-bitrate AVC. The same format (codec) as your destination delivery format might work OK as an intermediate file, but you may wish to increase the bit rate to maintain quality. Be sure your intermediate render settings (resolution, frame rate etc.) match your project properties (which should normally match your source media properties) or your destination properties (more info here). If the render hangs or fails well into the timeline, try rendering it in shorter sections to intermediate files, then import those into a new project to stitch together. Try replacing the media at that point with recaptured or newly transcoded files. If it always hangs at the same frame or place, the media may be corrupt. If that solves the problem then try an alternative plug-in if possible and report the problem. Try bypassing any particularly demanding FX first by unchecking them in the appropriate FX settings window. The problem might be caused by a 3rd-party plugin, or even a native FX. This is done using the button at the top left of your Project Media Window.

It can also make a big difference to how quickly your project loads.

Try purging the unused media from your project to free up system resources. You may even choose to reboot the computer, especially if you don't shut it down often. It's a good idea to restart VEGAS Pro before an important render to flush the buffers and cache. This is often a cause of problems during rendering, especially on laptops.Ĭheck you have plenty of disk space on the drive that you are rendering to.
