2 Hour Render Times, Normal?

Does Vegas do titles and template creation then? AE isn't really an editor, it's effects above and beyond an editor.

It come with NewBlue TitlerPro. Even Sony Movie Studio Suite comes with it. It's what I'm using for my more recent vlog text. It does 3d letters, transitions, animations, etc. Other stuff included in the suite can add other effects but it won't be as high fidelity and fancy as Vegas or AfterEffects (which most people apparently steal because they're ridiculously expensive).

Definitely hardware. It used to take me 2 hours to render a 7 minute vide in 1080p 30fps Mp4 format. Now it takes me about 10 mins to render a 7 minute 1080p video. Thing that changed: computer. 16gb of ram, i7 processor and gtx video card.

i wouldn't use adobe after effects for motovlogs.. it uses a lot of power. i have 8gb of ram and 1gb of dedicated gpu and i dont use it. If you really want to use an adobe product. Use adobe premiere to edit it. After effects is mostly for hard video editing like animation 2d to 3d and complete templates... i see a lot of people use but they use features that premiere already has.

whats your computer specs? rendering times can vary depending upon specs

Hmm... I use iMovie on my Macbook Pro and it only takes about 2-3 mins to render a 7min video at 1080p.

I'm building a 6 core/12 threaded beast of a machine with 32GB RAM to get rid of my rendering woes

I had to upgrade my laptop to do editing...definitely hardware is key...make sure you have an independent graphics processor..its called a "GPU".
Make sure the editing program has a setting to allow you to use this GPU other wise it will use your main CPU processor , which is slower for graphic processing.
Lastly use a program that can directly edit compressed files, like MP4, this saves a ton of time from not having to decompress and recompress the footage.
For example, go pro studio will take an MP4 from the gopro and uncompress it to an AVI file for editing..then the final output is recompressed into MP4 (if uploading to youtube) PCyberlinks power director (with a decent spec PC) works directly on the MP4 from the go without doing any of the above.
I get roughly 1.5 seconds render time for 1 second of footage, even with special affects, slow motion, zooming ect...
I have a Lenovo U430 ideapad laptop with SSD i5 proc and 8 gig memory and use Cyberlink power director 13.
Damn glad I put out for all this as it is sooo much more enjoyable to edit stuff now, not to mention quicker. Hope this helps buddy...
