Why does Sony Vegas Pro hate me

One of my content creators at Tempo Storm sent me a video to edit.

After cutting out the parts he didn’t want, I proceed to render it at 1080p60 (which is pretty hard for my lap­top, but it usually just struggles along and eventually gets the job done).

But not today.

Sony Vegas Pro 13.0 Crash #1

Literally an hour into the rendering process, when it was 94% done rendering … it crashed.

Assuming the video was too long for my laptop to try and render at once, I go back and edit it some more, taking out bits and pieces until it’s over a full minute shorter. Surely, that’s enough to make up for the 6% that it couldn’t render?

Nope, it proceeds to crash again, this time at 49 minutes into the rendering process.

Sony Vegas Pro 13.0 Crash #2

What I eventually had to do?

Render it in two parts at 720p30, then concatenate the pieces using FFMPEG.
