Vegas Pro 11–Transitions with Feather Effects
After upgrading from Vegas Pro 10 to version 11, I have been having problems with transitions that contain a feather effect applied to them, such as a linear wipe.
When a feather is applied to the transition border, the transition becomes jerky at its beginning and end, almost as if Vegas is starting and ending the transition at the edges of the feather region and doesn’t follow through with the rest of the transition.
Thus, especially when I am running long (5+ sec) transitions, the entire feather region “pops up” on the edge of the screen, the transition continues normally across the screen, and then as soon as the feather region reaches the other side of the frame, the entire feather region disappears.
I run Vegas Pro 10 on the same machine (to maintain compatibility with older files), and I applied this transition to the exact same media clips and did not have this problem.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is it a bug in Vegas Pro 11 and is there a workaround for it?
Thanks!

I am not visualizing what you’re seeing. Feather? Post a veg file and we can test it with our own media.

By “feather”, I meant that the transition featured a gradient between the two scenes. For example, under the Linear Wipe transition folder, any of the transitions labeled with a “Soft Edge” or “Blend In” contain this gradient. The depth of this gradient is controlled by the “Feather” control in the transition’s properties dialog box.
I’ve attached a zip file containing a .veg project using one of these transitions, and a .wmv video of the same project. I made the transition quite long to emphasize the jumps at the beginning and end.
Here are the specs of my computer system:
Asus P6X58D Premium LGA 1366 motherboard
Intel Core i7 970 Six Core Processor
24.0 GB Corsair triple channel memory
Nvidia GeForce 550Ti (1 GB) Video Card
150 GB Western Digital VelociRaptor 10,000 RPM Sata HDD
(Data is stored on two 1 TB Seagate HDD)
Windows 7 Ultimate x64Kevin

OK, I see the problem, and it does look like a bug. By zooming in and looking at the transition frame-by-frame, the first frame into the transition already contains a significant part of the second photo, and at the end, the last frame of the transition still contains a bit of the first photo then the next frame is photo two only. Not smooth.
You should report this as a bug and it should be very easy for SCS support to replicate it.
As a workaround, use a smaller feather setting.

Ok, thanks. I’ll contact Sony about it.
