Hi Derek,

You are already using the best, dissolve, fade, and jump. There are a bunch of transitions included with Vegas in the Transition tab. Just pick one drag and drop, done.

Hi Rick, rather than posting a link to a zip file, it would be better to copy and paste or post a screenshot, Thank You.

Hi Rick,

Although some of the other suggestions may help you, I don’t think rendering intermediate files will solve this issue, but certainly worth a try.

Although your i5 Ivy Bridge CPU isn’t considered a powerful PC no days, nor is 16 gb RAM, considered loads of RAM, I think your system is adequate to run the ‘default’ preset Video Stabilization Fx, provided there isn’t something else going on.

Just to clarify there is something else poking at the problem, can you perform a full reset? Hold the the ‘Ctrl+Shift’ keys and double left click on the Movie Studio desktop shortcut. This should pop up a small window. Check the box ‘Delete all cached application data’, the left click on ‘Yes’. This will reset all the Movie Studio settings to factory installation and assure something has been changed they may effect our test results.

Now, don’t load a project, just bring in one of the source media files that previously crashed, and run the Video Stabilization Fx and see if you have success or the same results.

If you have the same failed results, you may want to try using the legacy stabilization Fx and test those same problem files with it. Go ‘Options’, hold down the ‘Shift’ key and click on ‘Preferences’. By doing this you will see 1 additional tab at the top. It’s named ‘Internal’, select that tab. In the bottom search bar type in ‘legacy’. You will see several options in the Preferences list. One should be ‘Expose Legacy Stabilizer’. In the ‘Value’ column it will say ‘FALSE’. Edit that value to say ‘TRUE’. Then click on ‘Apply’ and ‘OK’. You now need to restart Movie Studio.

The legacy stabilizer will now show up as ‘VEGAS Stabilize’. Please try it with default settings and see if it finishes without crashing. I’m not suggesting that using the old legacy stabilizer as a solution to not being able to use the VEGAS Stabilization FX (although you may like it better, some report they like it better), rather as a test which may help others help you or MAGIX if you have submitted a support ticket.

Keep in mind my Movie Studio 16 Platinum works fine with both VEGAS Stabilization and VEGAS Stabilize FX’s on source media much more taxing that yours.

Have you tried turning off ‘GPU acceleration of video processing’? Can you post what make, model and vRAM your graphics card?

Hi Dmitry,

I doubt there is any utility that will provide 100% guarantee to recover files, especially a .veg file. I have no recommendation other than do a search and read the reviews and try something different from the utility that has failed. Wish I could over more, good luck with it. If you find a solution, I hope you will post it here, so it may help others in the future.

Best Regards……George

Hi Dmitry,

Sounds like maybe the utility you used to recover the veg file didn’t get it completely restored and therefore Vegas thinks it is corrupt. You might want to try a different recovery program or different settings.

Hi Rick,

Thank You for all the information up front, however we may need some additional information to assist in hopefully helping you.

Although you feel it is not the clips it would be helpful for you to reply with what device or program generate your source media, camera make and model, capture hardware or capture software, what codec was used, etc. Even better, if you don’t already have it, download the free app ‘Mediainfo’. Start it up, go to the ‘View’ tab and select ‘Text’ mode. Got to the ‘File’ tab and load your source media. This will provide a report on the video and audio specs of your souce media, post those here.

Your PC is powerful with lots of RAM, but the specs of your system may also be important to member here to help. Especially the GPU make and model and RAM. Also do you overclock your system.

Have you tried to turn off GPU acceleration of video processing and does that make a difference?

I just use the Video Stabilization FX on a 2.7K 59.940 fps seven minute clip. It took 18 minutes to process flawlessly.

Hi John,

In the audio track header (far left) the is a volume slider to increase/decrease dB level, which can be used to adjust the tract volume. Also, if your right click on the header an option menu will present the option to add a volume envelope which you can use to adjust the dB level at various points throughout the audio track.

Hi Terence, there are various formats you can use in Resolve, probably I would use DNx.

Hi Terence,

It will come out with 2 files, the ProRes 422 video and a matching WAV audio. Place them on the time line, audio below the video clip starting at the precise same point and they should be the same in length to fall into sync. I’m suspicious if this will work, but worth a try.

Best Regards……George

Hi Terence,

Before this reply I ran a 6 1/2 minute m2t (the longest I have) clip through ProResER and then brought it into Resolve 16b3. The sound sync was perfect. Then I processed the m2t clip again in ProResER and this time I selected ‘Extract Audio to WAV’. I brought these two files into Resolve 16b3 and again the audio sync was perfect.

I’m thinking your m2t clips are much longer than mine, so you may want to check some of your converter ProRes 422 clips at about the 6 minute mark. If they are out of sync at that point, then it may be caused by your source. If they have not fell out of sync by the 6 minute mark, then my test results may not be of any use. At any rate you may want to try a test using the ‘Extract Audio to WAV’ option and see if that creates an audio file that will stay in sync with the video.

As far as other options to convert your m2t to ProRes 422, I know of no others, other than of course using command lines for ffmpeg, which is what ProResER is doing. ProResER, as I understand it is a front end interface for ffmpeg which is the engine used behind the scenes.

You could use Handbrake and convert to a high bit rate x.264 file. Of course MediaER will convert to mp4 and you can crank up the bit rate to preserve quality.

It’s disappointing you have gone through so much with your projects and now the audio sync issue. Wish I could offer you more, Good Luck with it.

Best Regards……George
