Vegas 8 query

[Fukushuu]

Hi, I like to upload videos to YouTube. My problem is the method I use at the moment is quite tiresome. Usually I just pick the section of the video and delete the rest, encode that and repeat till I have all my smaller parts. I was wondering if maybe there was an easier way to do this, a way to split the video in parts and batch encode or something? Any thoughts? (I'm using Sony Vegas 8 incase the title didn't give it away)

Thanks.

Well I figured I could Render To New Track to make things go quicker but I still have to manually render each part. This is making things go faster though.

I don't follow exactly what you are doing. From what I am reading, you seem to be loading a video onto the timeline, trimming it, rendering it, loading a new video, trimming it, rendering, repeat ad nauseum, then putting all the smaller parts together. Does this sum it up ?

If so, you seemed to have missed the point of editing software. You would load your clips, trim and change all of them on the timelines until you are happy, then render a final piece. Rendering interim clips is only necessary in a small number of circumstances, none of which you have described.

K, maybe I was unclear.

I have a video file which is 1h 30 mins long, I am uploading it to YouTube so it has to be in parts of 10 mins and or less than 1GB. I originally was asking if there is a way to split the video into sections and render them in sections. So I could load the 1h and 30min video and output 9 10min files in one go. Do you understand?

Set up a loop region for each segment that you want to render. Then right click on the loop region segment bar on the top of the time line and select "Selectively prerender video" and select your encoding preference. Repeat for each segment.

ok thats helps thanks, is there any way to do that for all the parts instead or do I still have the prerender each part 1by1?

You may want to look at Veggie Toolkit. Frankly for something as simple as you want to do, one by one is probably a better way instead of fiddling around with something like this.
