Instructions for Vegas Pro to Handbrake Video Rendering Preparation and Warning before you start - please read!

What is Handbrake and why Render Video with it ?Ĭan you render video directly from Vegas Movie Studio Platinum to Handbrake ? Origins and Developers of the Vegas-to-Handbrake technique Topics covered in this Vegas-to-Handbrake tutorial Personally I think this is the BEST option now, instead of what I showed in this tutorial. It can take a few seconds to open up and then you can make all your settings. Then press Customize template and Show Voukoder dialog. Open Vegas and go to Render As and select Voukoder and the first Audio template. You will need to download Voukoder 7.2 and the Vegas Pro connector - 2 downloads. Voukoder uses the same H.264 encoder that Handbrake does and offers similar custom settings. This alternate method means you will not be using Handbrake to render your video, but instead use Voukoder. IMPORTANT UPDATE! It appears that an update to Vegas Pro 18 has broken the process, which means it no longer works with Vegas Pro 18.Īlternate solution! If you can't get this complicated process to work in your version of Vegas Pro, I recommend you try a much easier option which uses a new plugin called Voukoder. In hindsight I should have experimented with this rendering technique a long time ago, because it can definitely help render better quality video in particular circumstances. I will admit that I resisted trying this approach for a long time, because reports on various Vegas Pro forums, seemed to suggest that setting up this workflow was complicated and sometimes problematic.

For many years, the gurus and power geeks of the Vegas Pro community, have known the secret of how to frame-serve output from Vegas Pro directly into Handbrake and use the Handbrake x264 encoder to render their projects instead of using one of the included Vegas Pro encoders.

I often get asked about how to render video from Vegas Pro into Handbrake. Using HandBrake/x264 to encode a video, could result in better picture quality and smaller file sizes, compared to encoding the same video in Vegas Pro using Magix AVC, MainConcept AVC or Sony AVC.
