BUG: DEFOCUS FX crashes VP14 down to SVP13 and SVP12.

OldSmoke wrote on 12/30/2016, 2:56 PM

I recently completed our annual Nutcracker On Ice show. All worked well aside from the Act1 project that I couldn't render with GPU ON (GPU acceleration of video processing). I had no time to find out why but now I have. In fact I couldn't even open the project anymore until I switched off GPU acceleration. By elimination I finally found the culprit. I applied DEFOCUS on 3 events and that caused the crash with GPU ON. I currently still work in Sony VP13 but I copied the multicam track over to VP14 and it crashed it too with GPU on. Same for Sony VP12 but surprisingly not Sony VP11. I also tested this with a random clip and same happened, meaning it is not related to multicam editing or the particular file(s). I also tried different flavors, XAVC-S, XAVC Intra, HDV and a few others, all crash the moment I applied Defocus FX is GPU is ON.

This is on my 3930K, x79 chipset and ASUS Fury X with latest driver and a fully updated Win10Pro.

Can someone with an Nvidia card and someone with a different AMD card try to apply the Defocus FX to any clip and see if that crashes SVP12, SVP13, VP13 or VP14 when GPU is ON? I just want to make sure it's not just my system. Maybe I am missing a .Net version? I have 3.5 and 4.6.2 on my system.

Few months later and still doesnt work?
Can someone check it on Vegas 15?

FYI. VP15 also crashes with Defocus and Starburst. That's with the Fury X and driver 17.1.1. I will try it with a later driver but I have no hope.

no issue here on V15, I used both defocus and starburst simultaneously on a clip, (but it was also fine on V14)

With an AMD card?

Looks like he has NVIDIA system. So just AMD cards?

Yes.

This is riddiculus. I have to downgrade my AMD drivers all the time

Same thing here -- Starburst crashes my I7, 32 GB RAM, AMD RX470 if GPU acceleration is enabled.

The VEGAS Pro 15 build 311 release notes state "Improved stability of the Defocus and Starburst effects when running with an AMD GPU".

Could those with an AMD GPU with driver 16.12.1 or later please test and report your findings? Summary of this issue is in this comment.

"...any version of Vegas Pro..." I thought that is only resolved in build 311?

It happens. I just wish I could test it.

I found this thread and was wondering if VP15 is still having issues w/ the Defocus effcet w/ the Radion 390 series cards.

I was trying to use Defocus on a memorial video but VP12 keeps crashing. I got rid of my NVIDIA graphics card and purchase a Radion R9 390X because other members here recommended it.

Unfortunately I just had to make due w/ Gausian blur but it definately didn't look as good as Defocus. (;

Thanks

Latest build 311 have disable the use of GPU for Defocus FX.

set,

Thanks for the reply. guess I'll wait till VP16 and hope it gets fixed and then I'll upgrade.

Hi Nick,
I finally tested my copy of VEGAS Pro 15 Build 311 to see if Defocus FX works. The FX indeed works without crashing VEGAS Pro. Starburst does seem to work as well. I am on Windows 10 Pro (1703) with a Radeon Sapphire Nitro RX470 4GB (17.12.2 driver). I am hoping that MAGIX/VCS would fix VEGAS Pro 14 as well because VEGAS Pro 14 is more stable than 15 on my machine.

I've tried "defocus" effect in VP14 and it just crash when gpu is on (rx480 here), integrated HD530 works fine so it has to be a bug related to AMD card, I'm gonna report this too, the more the fastest gets fixed

Just for the record, "Defocus" working here with VP13 &VP14 using my FirePro V7900

Just purchased the upgrade to VP15 and tested the defocus effect and it seems to be working w/ my ATI Radeon 390.

NickHope wrote on 5/27/2018, 6:15 AM

Anyone know if the "Defocus" and "Starburst" FX are still GPU-accelerated for NVIDIA GPUs, or was GPU acceleration disabled for them in VP15 build 311 for NVIDIA as well as AMD GPUs?
