[partially solved] Sony Vegas Pro 12 – preview is blinking and totally messed
On my computer, projects created in Vegas Pro are blinking in the Preview window. Blinking, flickering, have some blinking horizontal stripes (like in old TV) and I have an impression that the Preview is trying to display two frames at the same time.
I have Movie Studio on the same computer and there is no such problem, although the imported media is the same mp4 file.
The Preview is set to Best(Full). When I right click in the Preview and uncheck the “Scale Video to fit in Preview Window” then it looks ok, but it’s really too big to be useful such preview. In Movie Studio it was scaled and fit and was ok, no blinking.
I also unchecked the “Adjust Size and Quality for Optimal playback” according to this thread: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/24/951782 , but it doesn’t help.
By the way, the rendered file is ok.
When I imported the clip, it asked me whether to adjust the project settings to match the clip. I clicked no. Then repeated and clicked yes, but nothing changed (still blinking).
The media is AVC 1280x720x12, frame rate 15, field order none.
Is there anything else that can be done to have the Preview behaving normally and keep it scaled?
[Edit] No, actually disabling the “Adjust Size and Quality” doesn’t help, either. After 10 seconds, it starts blinking again.
[Edit2] I updated my video card drivers and it seemed that the flickering is gone, but the next day, on the same project, everything was back, unfortunately. So, I changed this Preferences->Video->GPU Acceleration -> OFF. Now it’s OK.

The “Preview – Best-Full” is just for viewing it on your computer. It has nothing to do with the way it will finally render out. Set it on “Preview-Auto”.
You’ll be able to view what you’re working on much better because your computer won’t have to refresh and work so hard to keep up with the “Best” setting.Roger Bansemer

Ok, I’ll keep this in mind, but I tried already all combinations and they have no impact on the problem.
I keep Best(Full), because I often save images from frames and they look better when the preview is set to Best.

If you search on the net a little there is a free script that will uprez the preview and then save out the file and then return your preview to the previous setting
