CHP. 17 SAVING, RENDERING, AND PRINTING PROJECTS
317
Note:
In order to use network rendering with nested
projects, the nested project must contain only media from
folders that do not require remapping. Before nesting your
Vegas project, update the project so that all media in the
project is added from a network folder or a local, shared folder
that is mapped to the same drive letter on all renderers and the
render host.
Setting up a rendering computer
1.
Install Vegas software as a render-only client.
You can install Vegas software as a render-only client on two computers for each Vegas license you
purchase. However, certain file formats, such as MPEG-2, AC-3, and MP3, cannot be used on render-only
clients.
2.
Start the Vegas Network Render Service application (VegSrv60.exe). The service must be running and
you must be logged into the computer before you can use it for rendering.
3.
If necessary, you can change the TCP port the render service uses to communicate with other renderers:
a.
Exit the Vegas Network Render Service application if it is running.
b.
Open the NetRenderService.config file in a text editor. This file is located in the Vegas installation
folder.
c.
Edit the <channel ref="tcp" port="53704" /> tag in the file to reflect the port you want to use.
d.
Save the file.
e.
Restart the Vegas Network Render Service application.
Adding renderers to a host
1.
Start the Vegas Network Render Service application (VegSrv60.exe) on the computer you will use to
initiate network rendering.
If you do not start the service before starting a rendering job, it will start automatically, but it will not be
visible. Right-click the
icon in the system tray and choose Show from the menu to display the window.
2.
Select the Renderers tab. This tab allows you to edit the list of computers running the render service.
Note:
A computer will be displayed on the Renderers tab
only if you have logged on to Windows and the Vegas
Network Render Service is running. If the computer is not in
an area you can monitor easily, you can use
Ctrl+Alt+Delete to lock the computer after logging on and
starting the service.
3.
Click the Host box of a blank row in the table, and then type the IP address or name of the computer you
want to use as a renderer.
To find your computer name, right-click My Computer and choose
Properties from the shortcut menu to
display the System Properties dialog. Click the
Computer Name tab, and your computer name is displayed
in the
Full computer name entry.
