I have been battling this one to the point where I built up a quad-core system with 4Gig of ram, nVidia 8600GT, dual monitor, Vista 64bit and 3 separate hard drives. It was still estimating 17-20 hours to render a 3 minute music video with a lot of cuts, fades and layers.

Even if you throw all the power in the world at an application like this, you really need to understand what your computer is doing Behind the Scenes and find out what is interfering with the slowest part of the process, the I/O.

There were 3 things that really sped up my rendering times:

1) Render to the same settings as your project settings (i.e, if your project is set to 1920x1080x32, 23,976p - then render to an output of the same settings)

2) Stop unnecessary processes, you can download and use a program called 'Game Booster' which frees up your CPU and RAM usage by doing this.

3) Try not to render to the same drive that your originals are being read from.

My rendering time went from 17-20 hours to 20 minutes for a full 1920x1080 - 3.5 minute music video shot on multiple Sony HDR-SR11 cameras, with Chroma keying, fades, masks. On my system, it utilized about 30% of the quad cores capacity and at a max 67% of 4Gig of RAM.

Can Sony Vegas sessions be transfered into pro tools sessions?

You won't be able to directly import the session. But with Pro Tools 6.4 and higher, you can import a Quicktime file (must render a Quicktime file first in Vegas). I'd say if you finish up all the basic video editing you want to do, you can create a Quicktime file, bring that into Pro Tools, and work on all the audio for your movie. I forget what options you are given in Pro Tools for exporting. On the other hand, Sony Vegas is the most audio capable of any video editing software so I hear. If you have Vegas Pro you can have unlimited audio tracks and should be able to do most of your tweaking right in Vegas.
