BorisRed/Vegas render problem

Can anyone here that has Boris Red and V5, verify that when you apply Boris as an effect, the render of that effect will be 1/2 the length it should be.
For instance, If you have a 10sec clip and you apply Boris as an effect, say you want to do a pic n pic with this clip, when you preview in Vegas the effect is there for the 10 seconds, but if you render this, the effect is there for 5 seconds and you have black for the remaining 5 secs.
Boris and V5 are set up the same. i.e. project size, frame rate, etc.
I'm baffled on this one.

I had that exact same problem a while ago... with Graffiti. An upgrade fixed it. I would recommend you contact their support and start working with them. I found within a few hours of posting an email to them I had a call back from one of thier support staff.

[EDIT]

Check out my prior post on this and more issues with Graffiti

Checking it out I noticed the duration thing was fixed by deleting the Graffiti INI file. I am not sure now if that was the <final> solution or if the upgrade also impacted that problem as well.

Thanks Liam. I'll check both of those out. I know there is an upgrade to boris red that I don't have. I'll also look into the ini file.

Got it! I deleted the configuration file and now it works. I'm sure it worked before but then at some point it got screwed up.
Thanks Liam
I've also seen that text problem you posted about. I'll see if that is fixed also.

Glad that helped with the timing.

The text problem was really fixed by them adding a whole load of "presents" within the Vegas FX that include a default alpha background. So it was not something that really changed within Graffiti itself... but rather was fixed through these new presets. They got installed with the update.

Setting the Alpha channel to premultiplied black gives a clean edge around the text. Learned some very imprtant things tonight. Excellent!
Well, it's 3am and time I turned in.
Later.

Configuration file?
