You know what, I've always known what settings to choose (for the most part) but I've never truly understood them until this video. Thanks mate, I've subscribed and liked the video.
Thank you for posting this tutorial! It's exactly what I was looking for. Your explanation about the differences between these three output profiles was very informative. I've always had trouble preserving color vibrancy and proper black levels after uploading to UA-cam or Vimeo, but I had not thought of using the Magix Intermediate codec. I tried your settings and rendered various color and gray charts, and I'm seeing a nearly perfect match on Vimeo...finally! (I'm sure I'll see similar results for UA-cam.) Thank you so much for sharing this info, and please keep up the great work!
Don't usually comment on vids, but I will today. Thanks for the help, all the other videos don't actually explain and it worked exactly they way I wanted to! :)
Great explanation! Really good video, and for once, letting us know why the settings are being chosen so we can customize it according to what we do. Awesome!
Good tutorial !! Sadly my ProRes videos are all black with only audio after rendering, so as much as I would have loved to use ProRes, I will have to stick to the Magix AAC/AVC MP4 I already used before. Thanks for everything !
That's the most recent update they performed. Magix intermediate was their version of Prores but now they officially support prores and removed their versions.
Hi, would you know if Sony Vegas is now support 2060super? As i have tried with older versions of Vegas but it didn’t support for rendering. Please help
Hey brother. I just used your render settings and when I played it back to review. Great playback on PC but wouldn't playback on home blu-ray file type not supported. tried it on two DVD players. Blu-ray players. ohwell.
Any 422 is perfectly fine for smartphone footage because most smartphone video is shot in 10bit. And even if it's not, this method produces sharper colors.
So Intermediate renders a .mov file, seems like now I have to install Quicktime to view it? Can you point me to what you installed so you can view .mov files on PC?
Turns out that as of Build 482, that render option that you want is actually replaced by Apple ProRes. I think the render options under Apple ProRes are the same as Magix Intermediate. Let me know if that helped you.
@@EthanUson Yes, I have Vegas Pro 18, Build 527, and the Apple ProRes Formats look to be exactly the same as what Josh showed in the video under MAGIX Intermediate. So it looks like one Format is an equivalent swap for the other.
I have 1080p clips and I want to render in 1080p. And then I want to use ffmpeg a 4k upscaling program. But, I don't know how to do it with .mov I only know how to do it with .mp4. Can you help?
I keep having som rendering issues, Ive checked the crop and the video is fully in side and all the way on the edge of the square, but on the render the video is extremely small. any issues regarding this that you know off ?
No, you don't have to. Actually, as a matter of fact, Magix Intermediate is now replaced by Apple ProRes as of build 482. The render options are the same as Magix Intermediate. Try checking it yourself.
Dude, following your settings the output is telling me its taking a 30 minute 12gb file and turning it into a 560GB file. I cant upload that to youtube
Omg I was getting frustrated why my simple video with 1 video source was going to take so long. I mistook "time of completion" 2:15:52 as how long it was going take, not what time it would complete 😅. I wasted a hour changing my settings just to have the "time" keep increasing with each try lol.
Hey Josh, thanks for this! I have a weird thing going on. When I tried using MAGIX intermediate on a 1hr podcast video, the estimated file size ballooned to 791GB (!) and a test render is crawling along at 1fps. For reference, I used MAGIX AVC MP4, 29.97 fps at 4MBps and got an estimated filesize of 1GB. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Josh. I'm looking for the perfect setting to render in Vegas Pro. My PC is a Rizen 2700x - 32gb ram - Nvidia 1050TI - SSD 500gb. A 30 minute video takes more than 2 hours to render at 1920x1080 - 24 frames (film). The only effects I use are Vignette and MAGIC LOOKS for colors. I don't know what's wrong. May you help me?
That's pretty odd. The possibilities for that general of an error are wide. You definitely should send a crash report if you can and the VEGAS team can possibly help decipher what caused it.
did you have any encoder issue's by any chance? I have the same issue, where I render a video with audio, but only get the audio after rendering :( Would love to hear if you have a solution for that!
Is because you put it to intermediate 22 HQ on Profile, Put it to just Intermediate 22 or lower for 60 fps and plus there's no differences on quality and you'll save a lot of GB of your memory!
he answer an other comment but maybe with 4 month you try it yourself x) (if you try how do you like it?) Scrapyard Films il y a 6 mois I want to say that the estimated file sizes are completely wrong when using MAGIX Intermediate and will always be lower than that wild estimate lol.
yeah i dont think thats the best youtube render setting...I have a 1 Minute 4K Video ...after using your intermediate settings the estimated file size is 50gb...i dont even want to talk about the estimated render time haha ... no but seriously didnt youtube like have specific ranges of recommended MBits per second and so on ? I think it was 45 Mbs for 4k video so why are you picking these huge numbers ?
Hello, please tell me, the video card have influence on final result the render? If i have for exemple a 1660TI or a 2070super the result a render a movie 1080p is the same on image? Thanks my friend
@@ScrapyardFilms I had same question. But are you meaning Apple ProRes? because it is the only ProRes option I can see in my export options. Thank you for your excellent videos!
Finally someone who gives real explanations and doesn't give random render settings.
You earned a sub 🎉
You know what, I've always known what settings to choose (for the most part) but I've never truly understood them until this video. Thanks mate, I've subscribed and liked the video.
Odd, mine doesn't have the "Intermediate" option anywhere.
The package for MAGIX Intermediate is .mov instead of .mp4 from MAGIX AVC. Does that affect the quality when uploading to UA-cam at all?
can you tell me how to get the MAGIX INTERMEDIAT SETTING TO SHOW PLEASE
Even though I don't understand most of what you are talking about I enjoy listening to how you explain what's going on with Vegas Pro

Need to try this settings next project. This help a lot when i learning Vegas Pro 18 secrets. 😊👍
Hey could you help me promote my channel
Unfortunately new Vegas Pro 19 doesn't have MAGIX intermediate codec :(
Don't usually comment on vids, but I will today.
Thanks for the help, all the other videos don't actually explain and it worked exactly they way I wanted to! :)
Looove the uploads keep them coming man sorry I miss out on your gaming stream
Great tuto. Im tryin to render a 4K file with MAGIX intermediate but I can't :( It says thats something is wrong. Im working with Vegas 16.
I don't have the MAGIX intermediate option and I'm using pro 18.

i tried vegas intermediate but the file size was 104 gb so i just sticked with my usual setting wich was a 400mb file but thanks anyways
my estimated file size: 214gb 😬
@@HugoMEC Its an estimate, usually is very wrong. Id try rendering and see what it actually comes out to.
They took out Magix Intermediate in Pro 19, so what is the new equillivant?
Hello, did you find the answer ?
@@Fantomas-HiTech No I did not.
This video is gold
Awesome video my dude :)
great channel super under rated!
Glad you think so!
I have Vegas Pro 18, but I do not have Magix Intermediate on my version. Does anyone know why, or do I need to get another codec separately?
They renamed it to ProRes. It's the exact same thing
@@ScrapyardFilms Now is 'Apple ProRes' Thanks!
just saved my dang life THANK YOU!!!!
i bought vegas pro 18 only but i can.t see Magix intermediate 422 setting only apple ones there

Is Magix intermediate overkill for smartphone footage?

Dope
pls make a video for full mobile screen view render settings in vegas pro 19
So Intermediate renders a .mov file, seems like now I have to install Quicktime to view it? Can you point me to what you installed so you can view .mov files on PC?
What did u install after ur comment?
Is there a 4K version or should i just use the previous 4k settings he suggested for vegas 17? thanks in advance.
There is a 4k version right here: ua-cam.com/video/-aIqLImAXog/v-deo.html
Scrapyard Films thanks I will check it out tomorrow just upgraded my 365 to 18 tonight ..... appreciate you answer every one of my comments amazing
No problem!

@@EthanUson Thanx. Was going crazy looking for "Intermediate."
Dude, following your settings the output is telling me its taking a 30 minute 12gb file and turning it into a 560GB file. I cant upload that to youtube
The output file sizes are absolutely incorrect. Don't worry, the file will be a decent file size.
Yeah mine said I would be 70GB for a 2-minute video but the final file size was 1.63GB
Do you have the problem with Vegas images software that it crashes after adding text layers?
Thanks!
is it normal that when i play my mov video the video doesnt show and I only have the audio
no
I have the same issue, did u find a solution yet?
@@Roesfer yeah, I installed QuickTime
So you can't render out 120fps using these settings then?
what is the equaivalent of 'Internet hd 720p" from vegas 13 for 18?
Omg I was getting frustrated why my simple video with 1 video source was going to take so long.
I mistook "time of completion" 2:15:52 as how long it was going take, not what time it would complete 😅.
I wasted a hour changing my settings just to have the "time" keep increasing with each try lol.
I did the exact same settings on vegas pro 17. The estimated file size : 1677 GB for a 9 min video XD. Is that normal ? (MAGIX INTERMEDIATE)
i ve restarted my vegas pro 17, i have now : 262 GB for 9 min .. its a lot nn ?
Tried it too in 17.
A seven min. video: 545 GB MOV.
I want to say that the estimated file sizes are completely wrong when using MAGIX Intermediate and will always be lower than that wild estimate lol.
How did it turn out in the end?
Hey Josh, thanks for this! I have a weird thing going on.
When I tried using MAGIX intermediate on a 1hr podcast video, the estimated file size ballooned to 791GB (!) and a test render is crawling along at 1fps.
For reference, I used MAGIX AVC MP4, 29.97 fps at 4MBps and got an estimated filesize of 1GB. Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry, filesize for the AVC MP4 1080p 29.97fps preset came out to 10GB, more or less.
and what if i have an unlincensed version can i not render it because i got no magix intermediate
I have vegas pro 19, and I dont see this option MAGIX intermediate, any help?
It's now Apple ProRes. Check out my latest videos on best settings for VEGAS 19
Hi Josh.
I'm looking for the perfect setting to render in Vegas Pro.
My PC is a Rizen 2700x - 32gb ram - Nvidia 1050TI - SSD 500gb.
A 30 minute video takes more than 2 hours to render at 1920x1080 - 24 frames (film).
The only effects I use are Vignette and MAGIC LOOKS for colors.
I don't know what's wrong.
May you help me?
Which version of VEGAS do you have?
@@ScrapyardFilms version is 18.
The file sizes are huge. I can't use this. An upload would take hours.
Try using a different render option to see if that helps you.
i used aple res 422 when i render video come clean we say but when i upload to utube video become choppy
I have Sony Vegas pro 18, but I don't have the MAGIX Intermediate option?
Eveytime i wanna render something it says "an unexpected error has occured" Idk what to do :(
That's pretty odd. The possibilities for that general of an error are wide. You definitely should send a crash report if you can and the VEGAS team can possibly help decipher what caused it.
@@ScrapyardFilms I found a solution, thank you for your answer :)
did you have any encoder issue's by any chance? I have the same issue, where I render a video with audio, but only get the audio after rendering :(
Would love to hear if you have a solution for that!
For anyone curious, the video render size is false. It is an estimate, not correct.
But unless the estimate is off by hundreds and hundreds of gigs (mine is generally off by only 20%), the size is still a problem.
HI I dont have magix intermediate in my list
Thanks
My framerate seems to always change back to 23.976 for some reason. What's the problem?
Is because you put it to intermediate 22 HQ on Profile, Put it to just Intermediate 22 or lower for 60 fps and plus there's no differences on quality and you'll save a lot of GB of your memory!
After I render it I can only play video on VLC???
I don't have that Option shown for me.
Why is my video black but audio There
It tells me the vid was encoded in a format that i cant open
yeah but magix intermediate is way too big. 300gb for a 2 min video? heck no intermediate should be reserved for very special projects
Um... is it normal for a 60fps 1080 vid in these settings (10mins long) ment to be estimated to be OVER 300GB big? o.O
I think you could use HEVC
(with NVENC) then use VBR 6000 minimum bit rate and 9000 maximum. It should lower the file size.
he answer an other comment but maybe with 4 month you try it yourself x) (if you try how do you like it?)

Yeah beat quality but such a big file size
crazy file size with this settings, i dont use it
what do you use?
it says 1k GB?
yeah i dont think thats the best youtube render setting...I have a 1 Minute 4K Video ...after using your intermediate settings the estimated file size is 50gb...i dont even want to talk about the estimated render time haha ... no but seriously didnt youtube like have specific ranges of recommended MBits per second and so on ? I think it was 45 Mbs for 4k video so why are you picking these huge numbers ?
No hate but im confused. I did exactly what you said and it was the worst quality I see yet.
Hello, please tell me, the video card have influence on final result the render?
If i have for exemple a 1660TI or a 2070super the result a render a movie 1080p is the same on image?
Thanks my friend
Muchas Gracias, Mr. Josh!
No prob!
thanks man
i cant find magix intermediate its like it dissapeard, how would i get it back?
As of VEGAS Pro 19's latest update, they've renamed it to ProRes. It's the exact same thing with a different name.
