BUG in 5.0d - not in 5.0b

i have a 32bits video , it has transparency. (premultiplied dirty)

in vegas 5.0b, when a create a fade-in, it works smooth.
in vegas 5.0d, the fade start in the 8% about, just flash and give a "punch", not smooth. if i reduce the opacity of video, at certain point is just disappears. like 1% at 5%, the video is black. at 7%, it shows up.

this appears after the upgrade to 5.0d. instaled and reinstaled a dozen of times, including in another machine, only happens in 5.0d

I also noticed lately that my "Lens Flare" plug in does not work with white text in Vegas (using 5.0d). It doesn't even show up when I change the flare color. It works fine if I use another color for the text.

It used to work just fine with white text (been a little while though). Is this a recent bug (and what is the workaround?)

This is really wierd, by all account 5.0d only added some templates, the code wasn't changed. Are we seeing things or is someone telling fibs?

At least I can state this. Lens flare does not work on text media no more.

Oh, but now I see - it did not even work in Vegas 4 this way. So - did Lense Flare ever work on Text Media???

I just tried it in Vegas 4, and it seems to work OK. HOWEVER, if you have straight white text on a transparent background you won't see anything because the flare can't make pure white text any brighter than it already is. If you just make the text "less white" or the background "less transparent" you will see the lens flare again.

Ah, yes. I see. O.k - now I understand what happens here. Text Media is treaded kind of keyed stuff. So this is right the way it MUST work with lens flare. It's inside the Text Media, not outside.

Same behaviour in Vegas 5.0d. So I think everything's o.k. with 5.0d.
