Solved Three issues with Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 14 I can't find support material on

But to answer your question, for our equipment, final resolution needs to be 720x480

You said that when you rendered your video, there was no audio.
Which render template did you use ?
Is there a specific format that you must render to for this TV station ?

My guess is that you have 2 options for rendering your video.
Go to Project/Render As to access all render (output) options.

#1 MPEG-2
MPEG-2 is what Standard Definition 720x480 DVDs use for rendering video.
If you want to render to MPEG-2 for playback on a computer with Audio, you need to select:
MainConcept MPEG-2 - Program Stream NTSC Widescreen



#2 Mainconcept AVC/AAC
If you want to create a video for upload to YouTube and/or playback on a computer, I would recommend using Mainconcept AVC/AAC.
Select Mainconcept AVC/AAC - Internet 480p Widescreen
For this option to look as best as possible, you will also need to increase the Bit Rate.
Press the Customize button

Turn Allow source to adjust frame rate = OFF
Set Maximum bps = 14,000,000
Set Average bps = 10,000,000

Press OK and then render

I tried it that way as well, but still no audio. I'll double-check the settings again just to make sure.

I tried it that way as well, but still no audio.

I provided TWO different output formats, not one.
Did you try rendering to Mainconcept AVC/AAC - the 2nd option ?

Which media player are you using to play back your videos with ?
Example = Windows Media Player, VLC Player, etc....

Try doing this as well.
Go to Options/Preferences/Audio Device
Set Audio Device Type = Windows Classic Wave Driver

Then re-render your project.

On air, we use Elecard Player.
Hope that helps.

I do not work for the TV industry, so have no direct experience in that world.

The Elecard website says that a wide variety of Video and Audio Codecs is supported by their player.

I just downloaded the free trial for Elecard player and was able to successfully play back a video rendered to MPEG-2 using Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 14 and the exact settings I provided for you. The Audio is working OK for me, when I use the Elecard player!

My only conclusion is that you don't have the Elecard player configured correctly, and that is why you are not hearing any audio.
Check these two settings are all turned ON.





If you still can't get it to work after checking the settings, I recommend you contact Elecard and ask for Support to help you.
