NewBlue FX, having GPU rendering/previewing issues ? some tips
If you are experiencing crashing with NewBlue plugins (latest GPU-accelerated versions)….
1 – start Vegas
2 – disable GPU acceleration
3 – restart Vegas
4 – re-enable GPU acceleration
5 – restart Vegas
6 – add a new video track (empty will do)
7 – select the problematic plugin to the chain
8 – click on the “I” icon (NewBlue plugin window) and disable GPU for that specific plugin
9 – add it to the track
10 – save & restart Vegas
11 – select the problematic plugin and, clicking on the “I” icon, re-enable GPU acceleration for that pluginI was having crashing issues with Film Express and Video Essentials 4 – Timer, this solved the problems with a 660 Ti and 314.22 WHQL drivers, my home PC build 3770K + 16 GB DDR3 + GTX 570 / GTX 660 Ti
On the other hand, at my workplace with a Kepler Quadro card K5000 we have never had any issues… as it should be I guess : )

David, could you go to newbluefx.com and send us a support e-mail? We’d certainly like to hear more about the issues you were having and this process you used.

ok thanks, of course I will ! basically Film Express video effects (latest version, Windows 7 64 Bit for Sony Vegas Pro 64 Bit and Titler Pro 2 64 Bit) would crash Vegas Pro 12 as soon as it was “dropped” into the timeline, on the other hand Video Essentials 4 – Timer effect would work but crash Vegas as soon as you tried to render using the GPU (either the 570 or the 660 Ti, the Quadro was fine though), the system would perform fine with GPU acceleration disabled though, but then again what’s the point of GPU-accelerated plugins…
anyways, I remembered that on Vegas Pro 11 I used to have the same problem with Film Express (older version of course) and tried to make sure the GPU acceleration on the plugins was enabled after Vegas’ own acceleration. Also I believe, being based on openGL, I discovered that the “threaded optimization” setting in the Nvidia Control Panel would affect the stability of some versions of the plugins… but this is long story, I’ll e-mail NewBlue from my workplace trying to make myself clear, but so far so good with the steps I noted above : )

What “I” icon are you talking about? I don’t understand what you mean i dont see any i icon
-
see attached pic, it’s impossible to miss if you have used the plugins at least once.

On the DirectX versions, it’s an “i” icon.
On the OpenFX versions, you click on “About”.
