Hey folks, I'm a newer Sony Vegas user, had no problems until the past few weeks.
First I began getting some 1 frame visual glitches that resembled subliminal messages (spooky!) while previewing AND in rendered video. I turned off GPU acceleration and that has become far less frequent, so my Nvidia Gtx 970 could've been the culprit.
My biggest problem now is certainly audio that lags behind video on an unadulterated webcam track of me. It's irregular at best, sometimes -.5 seconds sometimes +1. I record on a logitech webcam & blue yeti mic, and overlay that track on top of gameplay. The webcam audio/video comes out of Windows Movie Maker as a .wmv file, and when viewed on its own in Windows Media Player there is no lag problem. Only in Vegas, during preview and rendered video. I often un-link the audio part of the track and slide it over a bit... hoping I eye-ball it correctly, but it's frequently off and needs to be rendered 4-5 times. This was not an issue for the first several months of using Vegas, and no substantial changes were made to my system lately.
A brand new issue today affected the webcam track, the video portion of me "froze" half-way through the timeline. The audio half of my webcam track were playing, but the video of me was locked still. I deleted the track and re-introduced it into the timeline, but it was still affected in precisely the same way. I rendered the project just in case is was a visual glitch only... but I was frozen in the finished version as well.
I rendered the .wmv webcam track into an .mp4 and this "un-froze" me if you will, and I was able to finish the project.
Still, why now? The only thing I ever change/update relating to Vegas or editing in general is Nvidia drivers, but as previously stated, I've turned off GPU acceleration for many reasons.
I've talked to Sony support and got nowhere. If there are any satisfactory solutions on this forum, or if anyone has an idea, I'd be incredibly appreciative. Thanks for your time!
