Downloaded and tested. VCE is back, but the colors...

WHQL 22.5.1 for the win

No issues with the WHQL driver.

Alas, my Vega Frontier Edition died...

Now is the time to start looking. AMD prices are MSRP or lower here in Poland.

In Vegas pro 19, there is a blue hue in the preview window. For example, follow image below.

1. Selecting solid [blue] colour from [media generator] and adding this to timeline (see numbers 1 and 2 in image below) ISSUE: provides a red colour preview (see number 3 below).

2. However once you close down [Video Media Generators] window the red colour in preview reverts to intended colour blue.

3. Re-opening [Video Media Generators] causes the colour to change from blue to red again.

Note: if you can use external monitor to preview video (press ALT + SHIFT +4) (see number 4 in image below) -- using external monitor shows correct colour

ACTION: Vegas should investigate this inconvenience -- otherwise there is remarkable improvement by using latest AMD Adrenalin 22.8.2 drivers compared to the currently available AMD pro drivers available as version 22.Q2 (at the time of writing).

@xai Lots of issues with 22.Q2 besides performance. This is how AMD lists the other drivers:

Adrenalin 22.8.2 Optional
Adrenalin 22.5.1 Recommended (WHQL)

Go with "Recommended". At least until 22.Q3 comes out and proves itself.

Latest AMD drivers available fixing the issue with Vegas colors being inverted.

I am testing these new drivers shortly.

@xai according to the Known Issues, it says:

While previewing the timeline in VEGAS Pro™, some colors may appear inverted.

xai wrote on 9/24/2022, 7:01 AM

I have found this out today and can confirm. Seems that Vegas Media Generator (solid colour) is issue -- once closed timeline colours + preview is fine.

Note preview on external monitor is fine even with the inverted colours during media generation.

Test video:

other notable improvements:

BorisFX Continnum is utilisingGPU better during particle illusion + rendering -- 80% utilisation of GPU AMD vs. 22.Q2 driver 20% utilisation with CPU doing the work.

I think is with AMD drivers. 22.5.2 WHQL drivers work just fine and there are no issues.

Issue fixed with drivers version: 22.10.2 available at: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-22-10-2

For the time being, I will be remaining with 22.5.1.

I tried the new driver version, but sadly for me, it breaks Ignite Pro 5 in a lot of places. Yes, I know Ignite is no longer supported, and I do have HFP 2021.3 where Ignite does work, but bringing the project into Vegas, Ignite does not appear on the clip.
