Text layer flickering on render. Vegas 13

[Graham Bernard]

[Luke Gibson] “Any ideas?”

Yes, lots. But I’d need to see more Timeline detail, your render details, your project settings etc. Why a render doesn’t perform in the way the Preview appears can be as simple as the requirement for a higher bitrate. But let’s see just exactly what it is that VP14 is having to wrangle.

And BTW, previous projects may have worked could be the result of many, many reasons ???? .

Thanks for that Luke. Do try selecting a Region of the area that’s producing these anomalies and to start with Render to something uncompressed. Report back. I’m thinking that there is a lot of maths going on trying to go to MP4.

Interesting.

Uncompressed AVI doesn’t seem to be affected.

I also tried adjusting most of the rendering setting one at a time and the problem still occurs on mp4
higher bitrate
number of slices 1, 4, 32
reference frames 4, 1, 10
profile: Main, High and Baseline
disabling progressive download
Enabling allow source to adjust frame rate

Luke? Are you saying that Uncompressed cures the issue?

Hi Graham,

It’s a work around, not a cure, and not a very helpful one it takes almost 10 times longer to render and over 100 times the file size.

Cheers

It was not meant as a work around nor as a cure. It was and is meant as an indication that your Timeline editing does work. We call this evidence-based results. And, as I don’t have your Veg, you can now confirm it is purely your choice of Render combined with your Timeline.

Somewhere within your PC and that MP4 is why the Render process is coming up pants.

Luke right click on your problematic event, and go to switches then select Reduce Interlace Flicker.
See if that renders a difference.

Hi Graham,

You asked me if it “cured” the issue. Hence my reply. Sorry if I misunderstood.

Hi Steve,

Thanks I’ll try that and let you know if it makes a difference. For the moment I switched to rendering the text as a PNG layer in photoshop, which seems to work fine. Only text layers appear to be affected if that helps.
