Recently, Guiding Tech started a YouTube Channel where we share great tech related videos on a daily basis. I’ve been interested in video creation and editing since my freshman days, but it’s not a full-time job for me. While I love editing videos and creating something from scratch, what I don’t like is the time it takes for the computer to generate them.
Batch render videos to increase productivity | shutter
If you have an average PC and you are displaying Full HD 1080P video, it may take about 30 minutes to render a 10-minute video. Things get worse if you apply different filters and effects to your clips. It can take up to an hour for the same video to render.
Video rendering is quite a task
While the computer displays these videos, it spends most of its resources on video editing tools. The computer really becomes a potato and is not good for any resource-intensive work. As a result, you must have heard people rendering their videos at night to make the most of their productive time.
One problem with rendering videos at night is that you can only render up to one video. In the 6 hours you sleep, the computer is idle for 5 hours that could have been used effectively. You can think of starting parallel rendering but it won’t be good. Your PC may even overheat and shut down automatically.
Batch Rendering in Sony Vegas Pro
Batch rendering is what one should use in such situations. This mode renders the videos in turn and thus uses the full time as well for maximum output. While the various editing tools have their own batch rendering options, these options are not fully transparent in Sony Vegas Pro. So let me show you how to use batch option to save time and increase productivity.
Step 1: All clips must be in a single Sony Vegas file, and if you have them in multiple project files, you must copy and paste them into the same timeline. Make sure there is some gap between two or more regions that will be made into different videos.
Step 2: Drag the time slider from the beginning to the end of the video and then tap the letter r on the keyboard. This will highlight the specific area and you will be asked to name the area. So every clip you want to make a video must have a separate region.
Step 3: Having done that, click Tools and then navigate to write a script. Click here Batch Rendering and a window will open.
Step 4: In the render window, select the location where you want to save the rendered videos and then select the encoding type. Finally, choose option Render selection and click ALRIGHT.
Hot Tip: You can display the same video in multiple formats by selecting multiple encoding types here.
Conclusion
That’s it, the videos will start showing up and you can do this at night before the end of the day. All your videos will be waiting for you the next day. I also use this trick to create more lower thirds for my videos and it really saves a lot of time. In case you have any doubts, feel free to post them on our discussion forum.
