Hello!
So I tried hard to Automate the effect (to eliminate it completely after a few seconds) and all went fine except one thing: the simple Fade on any tracks below does not work anymore. Fades have some strange saturated, color switching fading animation.
I used the Background Generator effect instead of simple Blur I mentioned before because it better fits to my idea.
-
You know a solution for that issue (to stop blur plugin after a few sec while used it in the track effects level)?
-
Thank you! It works, however I need my clip to transition back to the normal video from the blur after my logo ends (6 sec) at the beginning of the clip, and by doing changes to track effect level I can’t just completely stop the blur plugin after the 6 sec, or can I do that somehow?

Turning off “Stretch to fill frame” worked nicely. Now I have a video with huge black bars on every sides as planned,
but how can I render only the active part of the movie (without zooming)? It should be different output video size since I’m going to crop out the black areas but how can I do that in Vegas?

Just managed to solve it.
I have an integrated ATI GPU on my mobo that caused the problem. The standalone PCI-E card is active in the UEFI – there’s no option to disable integrated one only to choose an active. Because of this, the device Manager in Windows is still listing both cards and unfortunately Win10 installer installed the ATI drivers automatically for the integrated gpu aswell.
It wasn’t enough to Uninstall the integrated gpu in the Device Manager, because Windows automatically reinstalls the device over and over for some unknown reason so I had to Disable the mobo gpu completely (in the Device Manager) and voila, Vegas loads up with no problem.
Because I was able to install and use Vegas for years in Windows 7 with the same rig, this might be a conflict when occurs if you have an ATI chipset mobo with an NVIDIA graphic card, caused by the forced stupidity of Windows 10, I believe.

[John Rofrano] “So Vegas loves AVI’s. It just doesn’t like AVI’s that contain MPEG4/H.264 or FRAPS codecs.”
Or FICV of Mirillis’ Action!
Anyway is there a Vegas-friendly video capturing tool at all?
-
Well, whatever I do I can’t get Avidemux to recognize the FICV codec. Reinstalled all things multiple times, tried different codec packs, and so on and so on without success.
However I managed to make the conversion with MediaCoder (https://www.mediacoderhq.com/) but even with the highest possible settings for MJPG (Quality:100%) the outcome was very bad quality compared to the FICV. The FICV is a medium quality itself by originally but the MJPG came from the MediaCoder was waay lower image quality and the file size of the sample I converted is also reduced from 1100MB to 200MB.
Is there any alternative to the MJPG that keeps the original quality of the ficv so I can FX in Vegas with full support?
-
JPEG is quite a lossy codec isn’t it? Will I lose more of the quality than the original then?
On the other hand, is there an option to export the complete project so I could re-open it in Premiere or any other editing tool and do the encoding work there so they may have better support with the codec to eliminate the color flashes? If so is there an option to export the presets and custom transition effects attached to the project?

It’s an avi (FICV codec) from Mirillis’ Action! capturing tool. I used Fraps to capture clips from my PC before but with the same issue. However this does not happen every time sometimes it’s ok even with the same transition effects. I don’t get it really. One thing I noticed if I overclock my CPU in the bios the color line flashes become more dense.
Also realized if I change the pixel format from 8 bit to 32 full range in project settings then slightly less flashes appear. But the amount is not static at all.
If the codec and avi format is the key to this issue how can I solve this? I mean maybe re-encoding the clips to a format that Vegas prefers? I also want to keep it’s quality level.
-
this is a short sample of the noise under the transition I’m talking about.
Anyone have a clue what causes this? I just dragged a new video file to timeline and in the first 10 seconds there are 2 of those color lines. I didn’t even touch it yet. I first thought it’s just a preview bug but its in the rendering aswell.
