Hello,

I have have bougth Vegas pro since two weeks and have problem with AI Mask 2.0.
When I chose AI Smart Mask 2.0 from plugins, it goes in something like freeze and crashes.
It is set to high precision. I see that known issue:
Smart Mask 2.0 may experience problems while using the high precision setting with GPUs of with 8GB of video RAM or less. The workaround is to use the lower precision setting.
I have set my Dynamic Preview RAM to be 32GB RAM, but even after that it crashes in low or high precision.
The test which I do is with video 60fps 4K video ( I have trim only 5 seconds length and apply the effect on it).

My OS is Windows 11 (24H2).
My Vegas Pro 22 is Build 239.
My hardware is:

Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (4.3GHz)

Мotherboard: Asrock Phantom Gaming X870E Nova WiFi

VideoCard: Gainward RTX 4090 Phantom Gaming 24 GB GDDR6X

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 DRAM 6000MT/s C30 AMD EXPO Memory Kit

SSD: 2TB Samsung 990 PRO SSD

Do you have any idea, if I need to apply some setting or something else?

Regards,
Yordan Yordanov

@Yordan-Yordanov Did you install the deep learning models? If not, you need to install those. I would advice against increasing the dynamic RAM preview beyond the default. It is only used as a small playback buffer for the special playback command. Increasing it will make it playback longer, but starves your system from RAM and does more harm than good.

You could try also the new beta 243.

As a general remark, AI Smart Mask 2.0 is not the most stable nor the most swift and fast plugin. For myself on my system (see signature) it also often crashes or hangs. I tend to avoid it. It sometimes works brilliantly, but more often than not it crashes or hangs. I also do not like it that it starts analyzing automatically, and seems to analyze every frame of a still picture (which in most cases is not needed), so my personal view on it it needs more work and optimization...

I just checked with Chat GPT and it seems it is installed:
It is awful, I cant even use that feature, those AI features are the reason because which I have bought Vegas Pro and new PC .... ; (

@Yordan-Yordanov Hi, put 'Smart Mask 2.0' in the search box at the top, there's a few posts but the consensus about that fx isn't good.
