Sony Vegas render speed

[shizzle]

Anyway, doesn't it take AGES to render a video, it takes me 1h 20m (approx) for a 12 minute clip to .wmv :l AWFULLY long, I use the game booster to kinda speed it up... so what are you times?

By the way what's the fastest format to render it as that is uploadable to YouTube straight after the render?

try .avi...

tbh ive never used vegas pro... it exports in hd usually so thats why it takes so long,,,, wrong forum also?

[shizzle]

Oh, ok I'll try that... ohh woopzz

[Jamesy]

it's to do with the bitrate and compression. What settings are you using?

I wouldn't advise avi as it will either be huge or look crap. I prefer .wmv

Depends what motherboard your computer has, it'll take me about 15-20 minutes to render a full 720p clip which'll be about 9 mins long working at about 500MB. But that's with me boosting the quality with a custom template, if I chose default .wmv it'll be quicker.

It depends how fast your processor is, how fast is it and is it Quad/dual or single core?

Look about on the internet, see if there is a gpgpu renderer out there, if there is that should speed it up a about a hundred times at best.

Yes there is one out there, however you need at least an NVIDIA 8 series card which supports CUDA.

Well done for putting narrowing it into that term, but it's exactly the same thing. If you've got a crap mother board, videos will take ages to render. If you've got a good motherboard, videos will render fairly quickly.

Don't know if you're aiming that at me asking about the speed and stuff so..

Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.3GGHz 2.33 GHz

Actually, I think some motherboards are better with H.264 than others which would affect render speed.

This is true to an extent, he wasn't going for this, but my point still stands, his problem will most likely be his CPU.

I was aiming the speed thing at Shizzle, but the motherboard and the processor are totally different things, you cannot really say they are the same thing at all. The processor does just that, processes, really the motherboard is just an interface and control device when you think about it, which I fail to see would process video?

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that :P

As people have said before, it's the processor. I had to upgrade mine.
I can now render a 10 minute HD clip in less than 40 minutes.
A 10 minute SD clip takes around 10-15 minutes.

Processor is 2.4Ghz Quad Core

I wonder how long mine would take to render it :3

[shizzle]

Normal settings :) Someone told me that is was the computer and it's processor also, thanks guys ;) - Ummm Dual I think..
