Vegas Pro 13 allows 4K renders. Even though I don't have a 4K camera (yet), I render my stills to play on my 4K TV. I've done it through Vegas to Handbrake.
I uploaded one [I]just because[/I].

cool demo. what i mean is is there anything that solves HAVING to use handbrake when creating youtube videos (an extra step)

I don't think anything else has changed in terms of encoders within Vegas. I use Handbrake for uploading, but I most often use Mainconcept AVC/MVC for my videos that I stream locally. My wired network has no problem with 40 mbps and so far I can afford the disk space. The TVs and all the Blu-ray players play Mainconcept AVC and AC3 in an .m2ts wrapper fine at my house.

One thing you may or may not be aware of is the Vegas 2 Handbrake 1-click script written by marco.

Sure makes life simple. Just set up your YT render settings in Handbrake and all you have to do is upload when finished.

script would be great. why on 2-5 I am downloading several other things though??...I thought the script makes it easier. looks like this works only if you frame serve?

Frame serving is a big part of the process. It's the secret sauce.

It does, but it does take some time to set up. Just make sure that you download the correct version of the frameserver for your version of Vegas Pro. Having Debugmode Frameserver installed also enables you to use other encoders such as TMPGEnc's Mastering Works or Procoder. It's really a great tool.

So doing frameserve actually makes it better qual or just different method? I have known about it but i got by rendering Avid > Handbrake which did OK.

No better quality. It just avoids having to render a lossless intermediate file first and then open that file in your encoder such as Handbrake. It saves a lot of time and space.

In a nutshell, better quality at lower bit rates.

If you can tolerate long upload times to YouTube (or you have a very fast connection), there's no benefit to frame serving. Just render to XAVC S. Actually frame serving will introduce precision errors because of quantization to 8 bits in RGB. Native rendering in a 32-bit project will be higher quality.

If you have a slow connection and you want a lower bit rate file to upload, I contend that recompressing from XAVC S with ffmpeg or handbrake or whatever is a better option than frame serving. At least ffmpeg preserves the full precision of Vegas's output.

JHendrix2, before going to 13, if you plan on using the frameserving script, you should be aware of this:
http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/forums/showmessage.asp?messageid=923912

Lots of folks can't get the script working in 13, although it seems some have had success. I haven't, I'm going back to 12 (and hope it works in that version again as it did in the past!)
