why is my pc rendering slow?
i have a 3090 and a 5900x and it takes an hour to render a 1080p video. this doesnt seem right

What editing application are you using?
What settings are you using for exporting? (screenshots of the export window would be the most helpful here)
Are you exporting to an HDD or SSD?
How much system RAM do you have?
32gigs nvme ssd (pretty fast) vegas 17
i got a render in progress right now
ive tried different things like sony avc magic avc main cencept ex ex
it doesnt make sense
all this computer power and im getting bottle necked somewhere 😦
Like I said, it'd be best if you could post a screenshot of your export settings
Otherwise you'd have to type them all out here
Is your CPU, GPU, or memory getting maxed out / having high usage?
i mean not really
uhh let me see if i can open vegas twice so i dont have to stop this render
ive tried both of these :/
What codec are the source files you're using? (AVC/H264, HEVC/H265, ProRes, AV1, etc.)
mp4
That's the container, what codec was it recorded with
i streamed it to twitch with x264 software. then downloaded it from twitch
Ok so it'll still be x264
My best suggestion would be to use this plugin called Voukoder https://www.voukoder.org
It basically uses it's own method of rendering using your 3090 which should be much more efficient than what Vegas does by default
If that still doesn't work for you then updating to a newer version of Vegas may fix the problem
hmm ok ill look into both of those
are you rendering back to the same drive that your operating system and/or your project files are on?
even on nvme you'll get i/o limited if so
