  • Sony Vegas Pro 12 video flickering glitch

    Posted by Michael Robertson on February 27, 2013 at 9:10 pm

    I have been having this problem ever since I got my new computer. It happened on Sony Vegas Pro 11 and 12. It never happened on my other computer at all. Anyways, when I try to render a video, or even in the preview the video has random glitches. It is different each time it renders and I cannot for the life of me figure out what is going on. I have rendered in different formats, But it always happens when I have multiple layers or a transaction, or a fade, etc. Here is a short video clip of the problem. In it, the video jumps, the text disappears, the fade acts odd, etc.

    I have tried different preferences and frame speeds, tried to get more memory to the program. I tired downloading different codecs like the K-Lite. But I don’t think that should be it as this is my computer’s specs:

    Windows 7 64-bit
    Processor: Intel Core i7-3820 CPU @ 3.60GHz
    RAM: 16 GB

    Graphics Card: Radeon Sapphire HD 7950

    I am just at a loss. If anyone can help me, I will be very thankful.

    Well its a component on your new computer thats causing the problem,
    and installing codec packs etc aint the wisest thing to do (we always
    advise against that), and its not a memory problem.
    Have you tried disabling the GPU while editing and rendering to see
    if the glitches stop? if it does, its a compatibility issue
    with your graphics card.

    You are experiencing some type of hardware issue. Are the video files residing on the same drive as the operating system? What type of hard drives are you using for the video? I have the Radeon HD7850, which is a weaker video card than yours and I do not experience your issues. That doesn’t mean your video card is not the cause of this. Have you made sure you have the latest drivers for all your hardware, as well as the latest BIOS for the motherboard? BIOS updates, at times, can give a large improvement in system performance.
