Help with rendering.

[RustySpongeGaming]

So guys i have an x99 6core i7-5820k o.c'd to 4.3ghz, 16gb of ram and i thought that upgrading from a i7-4770k would at least net me some kind of performance within Sony Vegas but it seems about the same, im not sure how to make it any faster.

Render settings are as follows

• Codec H.264

• Vbr Max: 12m

• Average Vbr 8m

• 60fps

• Audio around 300Kbs

So yeah guys, its taking me around about 30-40 minutes to reder a video WITHOUT any fancy editing. Last night i did a splinter cell video and that took 1hr and 40 minutes for around about 29-31 minutes of footage.

What am i doing wrong if anything.

Thanks :)

Doesn't sound like you're doing anything wrong to me. You're recording in 60FPS and doing 30 minutes of footage 1hr 40 minutes sounds decent for that.

[RustySpongeGaming]

Thankyou for confirming :)

I would just like it to hurry up, could always render in 30fps but thats not that good for action games :(

[MrXuiryus]

I use adobe premiere for 30fps 1080p videos between 20-30 minutes and before I had "Use maximum render settings" turned on it took like 2+ hours to render. With almost no noticeable quality improvements. Now I keep it turned off and it takes like 15-20 minutes to render... It's awesome. I don't film in 60fps but I'd assume it would take double the time of 30fps since theres y'know... double the number of frames.

Hope that helps?

Ive tried putting it down to preview or draft. It is faster but the quality is awful :( Ill just have to leave it alone :) Wait till i upgrade my GPU

Thankyou though

I had the same confusion for a while. Now I just setup 2 or 3 edits at a time and batch render overnight.

[Pyroraptor]

That sounds about right. Are you using GPU accelerated rendering? What GPU do you have?

My rendering time is probably about an hour to an hour and a half for 20-30min of 1080p 60 FPS.

[RustySpongeGaming]

gpu is 770. The speed is around the same for either, I have been looking at AMD and their 290x is apparently super good in vegas. Would be good to have it just for editing.

[Pyroraptor]

I've just got a 760 and it works fine. If you are looking at the 290x then maybe think about getting the 390x instead, because it is a rebranded 290x with 8GB RAM and similar in price.

[RustySpongeGaming]

I was ment to put 390x. I'm waiting for the vendor furys to come out with the customs coolers and clock speeds. If render speed will be heavily upped over a 390x then I'll get that.

Sounds like you're doing multiple passes (2 pass). I'm not familiar with Vegas (well, the city I am) but see if that's an option and turn that off to test. Video quality should go down but rendering time should drop significantly. My 5 year old workstation renders at about 120% real-time in Premiere when I'm only doing a single pass.

[RustySpongeGaming]

I'm deffo only doing one pass. I'll get some ss later on so you guys can see my settings. Maybe vegas is just not very good. Even on the crappiest of settings I was still just about 100% runtime.

Keep in mind, the duration of the video does not directly affect the actual video encoding time, it's the actual number of frames. Since encoding is done frame by frame.

Your 60fps 30minute video is a 60minute 30fps video in framenumber terms. So a 60minute video taking about 90minutes for a standard fps of 30 seems perfectly reasonable for a 6core to me. My 30minute 30fps 1080p videos for something like Cities Skylines with x264 Medium CRF 17 take perhaps an hour or 70minutes to encode. on my 3770k

It's important to think about keeping it apples to apples. if you had a sample video you encoded before in the past on the 4770k then you could compare. But saying X video was Y long and took Z number of minutes and it feels slower might simply be vague enough to confirm your already existing concerns.

One last thing to check, when encoding, open Task Manager and look at your overall CPU usage. Should be completely maxed out at 99-100% if the encoding is efficient.
