(8) Your cheap laptop has cooling fans on the bottom instead of on the sides. (7) You didn’t install Vegas Pro to an external HDD. (6) Your HDD is only 4500 RPM and not 7500 RPM. (5) You have your anti virus protection program running stealing valuable RAM so shut it off.

(4) You have too many programs running on the side bar at the same time as Vegas Pro like Windows Media Player and WinAmp. (3) You have too many programs running at the same time as Vegas Pro. Install AV protection and don’t double click on every thing you see. Your Sony Vegas Pro Movie Studio 12.0 freezing while rendering could thus from my experience be any one of these causes: In Sony Vegas Pro I had problems with rendering to mp4 of no audio in movie when finished rendering and that I resolved by downloading and installing “Tippard Total Media Converter” which has all of the Apple QuickTime Pro 10 codecs bundeled in for free. I have had no problems rendering in Vegas Pro 10 with 3 GB RAM, 7200 RPM external HDD, and 160 GB free space on external HDD, except I had problems with pixelated look at time one minute to time two minute in a 4 minute long video which I’m not sure what caused that it might be a lot of detailed motion in background for that minute bc if it was a RAM issue EVERYTHING would be pixelated after the first issue like in Adobe After Effects. I have 3GB RAM and Adobe After Effects is installed on a 320 GB external HDD with 7200 RPM with 160 GB free space on the HDD, so that means that the 1700 frame limit for me is a RAM limit problem that would be solved by more RAM. I found out that that point is 800 frames when I close everything in the above list and my computer and my external HDD start to over heat and I solved that problem to get back up to 1700 frames by putting ice packs underneath my laptop and by putting an ice pack underneath my external HDD.

I found out that that point is 1700 frames when I also close everything else in the above list. I found out that that point is 1400 frames when I close my internet browser. I did some trial and error and found out that that point is 700 frames when I have Kaspersky running, 4 YouTube videos tabs, 4 Facebook tabs, 4 WinRar archives running, WinAmp running, Windows Media Player running playing a song, and 40 Windows Explorer tabs open. My Adobe After Effects also crashes for me when rendering when ever I reach a certain point.
