Hi Alex

Your Mediafile said this: G:\Fraps\RECORDINGS\Desktop\Desktop 2019.03.30 – 18.57.29.27.DVR.mp4

So I assumed that’s what you used. Can you upload a 5 second clip of that file ?

Cheers !

Hi Alex

First off, by what I can see in your MediaInfo file, you’re not using ShadowPlay but Fraps . Shadowplay compresses the file as it records, not Fraps hence the large file size.

Now to your audio problem. Your recorded audio is AAC. Vegas doesn’t like AAC. I recommend that you run your file thru Handbrake and make sure that the audio portion is of a type recognized by Vegas. I assume that you will be upoading your file to Youtube. If so, you won’t need to have a non-compressed file as Youtube compresses everything.

Also, make sure that when you run it thru Handbrake, you change the video frame rate to constant, that’s another thing that Vegas doesn’t like.

Cheers !

Hi Alex

Can you do a Mediainfo on your original file so we can see what you are starting with ?

Cheers !

If you have V 16 of Vegas, then go to this tutorial. (skip to 1:48)

If you don’t have V 16, then get the free version of Hitfilm, make your FX and import to Vegas. Both are compatible and share the same plugin.

Hi Carlos

Try using the included denoising filter. You could also try NeatVideo. (there is a trial version). Notice that in your effect chain, the order in which you insert your FX will give you a different end result.

Hi George

Yes I was at 32 bit Floating Point Full Range…. but…..

I was at colleagues place when I did the testing and he told me 2 days after that he had changed his system to something a bit beefed up after I tried it on my system and couldn’t reproduce my previous results. He’s running an i9 (4.4Ghz) with NVMe SSDs , plus a hole bunch of crazy over the top stuff.

Seriously thinking of getting one of those !!

Cheers !

Hi George

After reading your last post, I was trying to wrap my head around this since it worked for me and after going thru all of my settings, I noticed that I had accidentally changed the Dynamic RAM Preview max to 128MB. I can now preview in Best(Full) with no stuttering even with some FX applied. Go figure. Wish I could rationalize this…and had found about this a long time ago. I guess that’s why everything was working fine for me.

If some tech wizard is reading this, an explanation would be most welcome.

Cheers !

Hi Wilfred

Like George, I could not reproduce your findings. This is a long shot but, could it be that something went missing when you installed V16 ?

Have you tried uninstalling completely V16 (including registry) and then re-install ? May be worth a try…

Cheers !

P.S.: Please, let us know how it turns out.

Hi Wilfred

Wanted to add to George’s comment. Here are a few good reads. (Also for all other curious souls that wandered here) Understanding how things work make you a better editor. I’m still learning….and don’t want to stop.
