Sony Vegas Pro 12 Rendering Freeze and Stopped

[thejermjermboy]

Hi Guys, I was just messing around with Sony Vegas Pro 12 the other day, and I actually made a great Minecraft Video with it. I tried to render it and upload it to YouTube, but it didn't let me. This is a 20 minute video and the bar just freezes when I try to render the video.

The other day, I tried rendering a 15 second intro video, and it worked fine. I picked the setting as Internet 1080p HD, and I do not know why it doesn't work anymore

The bar usually just freezes at 86% or halfway and more, I have no idea on how to fix this. I'm desperate to upload the new video I made

My GPU : AMD HD Radeon 6780
Processor: Intel Core i5 3.10GHz
RAM : 8GB

open up Vegas Pro as the administrator.
go to options, then preferences and Turn (OFF) GPU Acceleration.
then apply the setting's and restart the program as normal.
let me know if this helps, turning off GPU acceleration is the 1st method to fixing this problem and works 90% of the time
for most people.

Do what "Sleepyhead Media" said but also check before rendering, when choosing the format to render with, click on it and then click on Customize Template, then under Encode Mode select Render using CPU only! (This is valid if you render in .mp4 which is what is shown on your screenshot)

Also i always remove the tick on Allow source to adjust framerate but i don't know if that's part of the problem, it's just a thing i prefer to leave off.

I had the same problem with my Radeon HD 6850 when rendering in Main-Concept .mp4. The renders either got to 1% or 99% and then froze. After many weeks of on and off troubleshooting, I finally found a solution to my problems. I knew it was a problem with the GPU accelerated renders, so I focused my troubleshooting on that aspect. It turns out that if you are on windows 8 (or I believe 7) you can completely uninstall your Graphics card drivers (if on windows 8 DO NOT use AMD's driver uninstall cleaner utility as it will bug windows to the point where you have to do a system refresh.) , reboot and then go to AMD's website and install Catalyst Control Center 12.8 and it's drivers. Then reboot once more and you should have no more render freezes! This worked for me and I can t guarantee that it will work for you, but hey! it's worth a try right??

Hope this helped!!

Thank you Sleepyhead Media
I have just followed your advice and turned of GPU, and when iàm writing this, Vegas finished the rendering job..
Great!
Again: Thank you

Follow Sleepyhead's advice, it helped me, I couldn't get past 6% and now its 50% and still going just by following his advice. Thanks SleepHead

I had a similar problem with Vegas Pro 12. It always stopped rendering at 23%. I tried all the solutions discussed at creativecow and other forum, i.e. turn off GPU acceleration etc etc. Nothing helped. Following worked for me. I believe freeze was due to some corrupt file.

Quit Vegas Pro
I opened %appdata%\local\Sony\Vegas Pro\12.0 and deleted all the files which had log and tmp extensions.
Restart Vegas Pro.
Now render worked fine.

Sometimes when I encounter this problem, the project has some part where Vegas says "compression is not required". When I choose the part in timeline and add a little something (unnoticeable color adjustment etc.) Vegas has to render that part too, and the problem oftentimes disappears.

Sleepyhead media, I fu*king love you! You helped me save 4 hours of work. 😀

The same happened to me at 8% in a 25s video. I have almost the same specs like you and I don't know how to fix it.

SLEEPYHEAD is NOT asleep at the wheel! THANK YOU SO MUCH for this invaluable "tip." A genuine project-saver! Many hours into my attempt to resolve this issue and this is the solution for me - and I hope many others find this forum as well!

I finally found a solution. The rendering process would slow to a frozen crawl at the same percentage point every time, so I discovered it was having trouble with one of the video clips. I rendered using the proxies instead, and it didn't freeze anymore.

Here is one more solution that worked for me, i had problem that when rendering video it would freeze at 3720 frames or 18%.
It took me weeks to find solution, there is problem with files that you use in Project that you trying to render out.
Solution is to export current Project as .prproj file for Adobe Premiere, then create new project and import that file. Don't edit anything in video after you import it , just choose your render settings and click render. I hope I helped someone

This still didn't work for me is there any other solution as it keeps freezing at 28% roughly 10k frames for me and my CPU falls to 28% use from 92% use (I know that's not good but it's a laptop with and i3 processor and before you say I shouldn't render on an i3 dual core I have done it before)
Thanks for any suggestions
