Yep, converting it fixed, also made me see what was the issue:

In the non-buggy video, I could see that the buggy frames are ones that the software that I was recording froze for some frames, seemly the temporal compression disliked this inconsistancy…

The same frames that were buggy, seeing the original video (the one that gets buggy in Vegas) I noticed that they look like playing at slower speed (like 10FPS instead of the recorded 30FPS)

AviDemux disliked CamStudio files too… It even fail to load…

I think that I will have to see if I can re-save them with VirtualDub (I made them with VirtualDub to start with…)

Yep, throwing the bit rate upward made it waaay better…

Now this I never figured: What difference it make to use two passes, or not?

Source is Avi with CamStudio Lossless

Btw: When I did a mpeg4 rendering, the particular clip of the photo rendered all black (while all other clips, that were made in the same way, worked, even if screwed-up colours in one or two frames like the picture that I sent)

None of you understood what the guy, unfortunally, I understood but I am trying to figure the same too…

Explaning what he want, with… math maybe…

We have:

BG, A, B, C and FX.

He wants to do: ((BG + A + B) * FX) + C

Or explaining in other way:

Let’s suppose, you want to add bloom to EVERYTHING.

So, you add defocus filter with bloom to “output”

Then you decided to add a text…

OH NO, THE TEXT IS BLURRED TOO!!!

Thus, you have to add the filter to EVERYTHING BUT THE TEXT.

But if you apply bloom to each thing individually, it will look wrong (or may not even work at all)

Now my video: I am trying to simulate some old CRT phosphor monitor, I added a text, then horizontal scanlines, then vertical scanlines, and then I need to make that text glow.

If I make the text glow, the scanlines cover the glow.
If I make scanlines glow, it is obviously wrong.
If I make the output glow, it works, but all other clips glow too (and I don’t want that).

So the question is: How I make only specific GROUP of stuff glow?
