I'm a television producer who has recently, in the last year, gotten into producing small-budget promo videos. I had been using Vegas Audio for years and gave Vegas Video a shot and have been SUPER impressed with its features over Premiere, Edius, etc. After using it for a year, however, I have come to the conclusion that no matter how good a program it may be, I can't continue to rely on it due to the HORRENDOUS render times. I recently put together a 15 minute video that mostly consisted of photos zooming in and out...3 and a half hours to render!!! (Athlon 2200 CPU, 1 gig of RAM, etc) Now, this is pretty much the last straw. I just can't afford to sit around and wait for something to render this long. Does anyone know of a real-time rendering solution for Vegas? Today, I went to check out the Canopus real-time rendering solution...and although I think Edius and Premiere suck, I might just go that route, to save time. However, I really don't want to if I don't have to. Does anyone have any advice????? I love Vegas....I just want it to render in real-time (or close to real-time)!
Thanks!
Thanks!
