What's up guys? So for the past 3 days, I've been making a lot of videos that are 1080p 60fps videos and they're taking forever to render on Sony Vegas Pro 13. I tried using GPU acceleration, but it turns out that Sony Vegas only supports graphics cards that have OpenCL support or graphics cards that have drivers from like May of 2014, which I can't have.
So, this is the process of me making a video. I Import a 1600x1200 60fps video into a 1080p 60fps project. I scale the 1600x1200 video without keeping the aspect ratio so that it zooms in to there are no black bars on the side. Then I add a track of background music and a track of my commentary. Then I render it at 1080p, 60fps in an mp4 format.
I did some benchmarks today and I rendered a 12:30 minute video in 1080p (60 and 30fps) and 720p (60fps and 30fps) and got these results using the approximate time remaining that Sony Vegas shows shich I find very accurate:
1080p 60 FPS- 1 hour, 5 minutes
1080p 30 FPS- 43 minutes
720p 60 FPS- 46 minutes
720p 30 FPS- 31 minutes
I just wanted to ask if these are normal render times for an i5-4590 processor and if so, what should I do to improve it? I am expecting to buy a 1080p monitor during blackfriday or near Christmas, so that might improve it because I heard scaling stuff does slow rendering down. I know that an upgrade to an i7 would improve these times by 20-30%, but times are tough right now and I just built my PC this summer. I have an i5 4590, a GTX 960, 8GB of RAM, 1TB HDD.
