I have since looked at other options and tried 'Prepare for VEGAS Pro Connect' which seems to have performed a rendering function, as I now have a usable mp4 wrapper of my edited clips.
This doesn't solve the problem of my disabled 'Render' button, but it may add a missing clue for your expert brain to consider when working out what's happening. That is this one. The last one was Update 7. Install that you don't yet have it. Tried to download that driver from GeForce and was directed to update via my 'GeForce Experience,' which insists that my current driver is up to date The above list of available templates is what I usually see but, in this case and the whole reason for my original post , I am getting a shorter list as you can see from the list of available templates in my second post, above , with no drop down options to customise the template.
That is completely the wrong way because the Nvidia driver has nothing to do with all the Geforce extra's. Than choose this after downloading that file install it and make these choices.
A clean installation of only the drivers, the rest you don't need for Vegas software. For your GPU there are only Game drivers wihle for a bit better cards the special Studio drivers are available. I now have the new driver installed but I still see the same limited list of available video formats, with a greyed-out render button.
I have even opened new projects, imported clips that have rendered as expected in the past, and I still get the same greyed-out render button, sometimes with an even shorter list of available templates. As I have said, in reply to Derek's request for more info.
Any other ideas? I think you should consider providing Mediainfo output as per the FAQ. The information you provided is some kind of media info, but many vital details are missing. And some screenshots project settings, render chooser. It would help if you told me which "vital details" you would need, to solve my problem. We did.
I could not find it. Sorry vkmast - I missed your question about the build. Does this make a difference, considering that I used to see more options in my 'Render As' window and it is only recently that I get a greyed out render button every time? Given the unusual nature of your reported issue, and possible differences over technical communication, I would say the answer to that question is "Yes," along with the rest of the troubleshooting information requested here:.
I am using version of Vegas Pro 14, and several things have changed since , including the Render dialog. I don't recommend staying with earlier builds, even though you report something has changed for you. I have no issues suggesting anything you have reported. Are you sure you want to report this comment post user as questionable?
You may be blocked if you misuse this feature! Sign in. Back to post. A few things here First, there is no "Sony" Vegas Sony has nothing to do with this product. I assume you clicked the small black arrow next to a Format to see the Templates. Thanks again, in anticipation. That driver is not uptodate. That is this one Whatever VEGAS is reading, it is showing me a list of video formats, not audio, in the 'Render As' window: These are the templates from which you can choose this customized one for your best result.
Place it on the timeline and you're all set! Split the part of the video where you want to have the effect. Put the time marker at the point of the video from where you wish the split it and press S to split it.
Add the black and white effect. Select the required part by clicking on it and then from the Project Media window, navigate to Video FX window. A scroll-enabled list of video effects will appear. Search for the Black and White effect from the menu, select it and different variants of the effect will appear. Out of the different intensities of the effect, select one and drag-drop it on the video.
You've now successfully added the black and white effect to the video. A pop up may appear, close it and you're done. Render the video. Choose the right render preset for your project, select the destination and wait till it renders. After rendering, you'll get a smooth video with your desired effect. Include your email address to get a message when this question is answered. In order to avoid abruptness, overlap the split parts a bit to create a fade transition effect.

SF Studio is my preferred Audio-editor Movie Studio 12 by contrast is was excellent and handled most things well; indeed I also used it for Audio- when mixing multi-tracks. Oddly SoundForge Studio can't do but Sony wasn't really interested. Spectral Layers was almost doing it for me, but just like the Show Me How tutorials.
I have a 40" TV which is very sharp, but I don't want my nose against it. Using software should be engaging not a potential Divorce. This sets the text off, far stronger than "Outline" -or the "Shadow" features. These backgrounds are permanently in Media-Bins under "Starter Maybe I will try those Magix Forums, but not for I'm guessing. I I've got Vegas Pro What video codec are you using? AVI is an old and relatively primitive container format, not a video or audio compression format.
What is the reason you are rendering to an AVI? A more modern, efficient video codec is h.
