Sony Vegas 9 Render Eats my CPU

[MadSupra354]

Dude, have you noticed that even Windows Movie Maker eats your CPU? Video Editing programs usually use high load when rendering at high resolutions and quality's. It's normal I agree with Dustin first post, it's an advanced video editor, it requires more resources. Unless you want to upgrade your PC to do more, let Sony Vegas do it's job

Yeah, i use Sony Vegas Pro 9.0 on my laptop. And when looking at the task manager it uses most of my RAM and CPU usage. I usually render 720p HD videos so yeah. Movie Maker is a basic editing software. It uses a lot of CPU power, but does not eat up your RAM.

why do you want to do more on your comp when its rendering anyway? its ignorant and slows your system down so much. I'd recommend to just leave it to do its work, like Supra said.

otherwise: buy some cheap laptop that is capable of what you want to do while rendering, so you can use that XD

I mean, if I want to render a video, and then want to watch some other youtube stuff, I just turn on my laptop, and do that. My laptop has more than enough power for Office, and Webbrowsing tasks, and also flash videos on normal and high quality.

Yes thats true. Rendering would use soo much of your CPU due to the fact its encoding a video. I suggest you leave the computer rendering the video. When it renders slow, people complain. Just leave it. For me, when i was rendering a video in 720p. It took 1 hour to complete. I just watch TV until its done rendering, then cool down the laptop, then upload video.

Its recommended for video editors to have a very powerful CPU, a good GPU, and at least 8 GB of RAM. For mainstream video editing, its recommended that you have at least 2 GHz or better, a decent GPU w/ capabilities for HD, and 1 GB. What i mean by mainstream, I mean only running one video editing software.

The one i mentioned above is the high end. If you have like Adobe after effects for example, creating an intro or something and you have Sony Vegas for example. You can use both at the same time, due to the fact you have a decent system. Although you would need two monitors for that

For regular encoding programs (movie maker/ sony vegas) all you need is a decent CPU and at least 4 GB RAM, not 8. You'll need 8 when rendering with photoshop/other programs.

Movie maker doesn't really need 4 GB of RAM. Since its just basic! Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects, etc. Needs more RAM.

Got past 3.5 gigs when I was encoding something, it must be because most people with 4 Gigs of RAM or lesser have their system utilize the virtual RAM, leaving a little RAM left. My computer uses 18-25 percent RAM on start up without me doing anything, of the 8 Gigs it has. Used to be 20%+ when I had vista though.

Usually when i encode a 720p HD video. My RAM would use up 72%. While in Vista, it took somewhere in 80%

I think the bigger the file+ more RAM usage. Anyways, lets get back to topic.

Photoshop doesn't use allot of RAM lol I've opened it right now. Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended (64bit) 279,000 KB (Approx.) about 275MB
But yeah, you can also use earlier versions of a program. Check FileHippo.com (maybe not for Vegas)
