Hi, I have recently received an Avermedia Game Capture HD device. I recorded in 720p. However, the problem is that it takes too long to render. In Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD 9, a 30 second video takes 3 minutes to render. I REALLY need to reduce that as I regularly make videos around an hour long. I don't mind if it has to be rendered as 480p (recorded as 720p). Is there any way to GREATLY reduce the rendering time without getting a new computer? Please help me with this.
Thanks.

Rendering in 480p after recording in 720p is a horrible downgrade in quality, just keep your footage at 720p because it'll make barely any difference in time. Rendering is a process which I, was a jack of all trades in the digital media field, hate. Some of my 3D animations take a week or more to render. One frame sometimes takes 10 minutes I'm rendering a massive world. When i'm working with video, today I made a 720p christmas video, which was about five minutes in length and it took around 20 minutes to render.
A 30 second video taking 3 minutes is a relatively short amount of time, for a 720p video. Rendering in 480p will probably give you a 2 minute, 30 second render. It's not worth sacrificing those thirty seconds, trust me. Just deal with it, I guess. Or upgrade your computer. Making videos that are an hour long require a bit to render. I've made one feature length edited film, at 90 minutes and it took about three days to render. That's without any titles or anything...and was in standard definition.
Bottom line: rendering is time consuming unless you upgrade your memory.
Also another bit of advice: uploading footage in 480p is a sure-fire way to generally turn people away from videos now-a-days. I saw some of your videos, and the quality, at 480p, made me not interested in watching. It's the "judging a book by it's cover" rule, which most people follow without thinking about it. 720p will make a world of difference. You've got a strong following as it is, it seems, but how many of those 600+ viewers actually watch your videos? I'm seeing less than 500 views per video. If you increase your quality, I'm sure it'll increase your viewers.

It takes me up to an hour to render 10 minute videos. Rendering takes a while. You just gotta deal with it. Tip, don't render 1 hour videos. You'll be there all day.

If you HAVE to render an hours worth of footage, get a better computer or invest in a render farm (ala, multiple computers rendering at once in a well ventilated room). Toy Story 3 took an estimated 1084 days to render...without the 3D iterations, deleted scenes, bloopers, and alternate cuts. |

When I render a video in 720p, generally about 15-20 minutes, it only takes about 30 minutes to an hour. That's the price you pay for good quality. It's worth it in the long run. I personally find myself skipping over videos of game play or whatever if they're only in SD.

If you increase your quality, I'm sure it'll increase your viewers. Yeah, about 300 of those are deleted accounts. Someone has been making tons of joke accounts every now and again to subscribe to me and a lot of people who do the same thing I do. And about 100 subscribed when I was doing stop motion. So I'd say about 200 subscribed for what I do now. But thanks all for the helpful responses. |
