In this scenario, you can import any one of your videos to set the Project Properties.Įxample: All your videos in the same project are 1920x1080p fps, which means your project properties will be set to the same frame size and frame rate.
When you start a new project in Vegas Pro, the program will normally ask if you want to: Set your project properties to match this media? When you say yes to this question, Vegas Pro will automatically set the Project Properties for you. If all the videos in your project came from the same camera and use the same frame rate, your life will remain easy and simple. Rule #1 - All the videos in my project use the same Frame Rate
Click here for instructions on how to fix this at the end of this tutorial. Variable frame rate videos do not work properly in video editing programs like Vegas Pro, which means you will need to convert it into a Constant Frame Rate video before importing into Vegas Pro.
If you are using video that was recorded with a Android phone, Android tablet, Apple iPhone or Apple iPad, it has probably been recorded using a Variable Frame Rate. Important! Working with Variable Frame Rate video from mobile devices However, where you can, always try to match all your media as best as possible. Sometimes you may be working with mixed video frame sizes and frame rates, in which case you can't match everything perfectly in the Project Properties. What Frame Rate do the videos in your project use ? If your Project Properties don't match the Render As template you select, it can potentially have a BIG negative impact on how long Vegas Pro takes to render your videos and the final video quality. If you have an Intel CPU that includes Intel® Quick Sync Video, you will see Intel QSV options.īefore you get to the Render As window, make sure your Project Properties are set correctly.If you select one of the AMD VCE options, your AMD GPU will render your video.If you select one of the NVIDIA NVENC options, the rendering will be done by your Nvidia graphics card.If you select a template with no (bracketed) options, Vegas will use your CPU to render the project.This means there are two options I can choose from, in the Render As output templates. On my computer I do not have an Intel CPU that includes Intel Quick Sync Video, but I do have a modern Nvidia GPU. If you have a compatible Nvidia graphics card, AMD Radeon graphics card or an Intel CPU that includes Intel® Quick Sync Video, you will see new template options in the Render As window that you can select from. This means that you can now render video using your Graphics Card instead of only using your CPU. This new encoder/decoder is fully optimized to work with Intel® Quick Sync Video (the graphics engine that is part of many Intel CPUs) and all the very latest Nvidia and AMD Radeon hardware architecture.
The new MAGIX AVC/AAC codec for encoding/decoding, replaces the older Mainconcept AVC/AAC encoder/decoder, that has been part of Vegas Pro for many generations now.

Depending on which CPU and GPU your computer uses, you will see different versions of each template which can take advantage of GPU acceleration to speed up your render times.
There are pre-made templates for rendering 4K, 1080p and 720p video. If you haven't upgraded Vegas Pro for a few years, the best option for rendering most videos now is to use the Magix AVC/AAC encoder. Magix has created a new video codec called MAGIX AVC/AAC, which effectively replaces the old Mainconcept AVC/AAC encoder/decoder that has been in Vegas Pro for many, many years. Vegas Pro In this tutorial I show you how to render video with Vegas Pro 16, using the Magix AVC/AAC video codec, which replaces the older Mainconcept encoder.
