Building Peaks ends half way

• Update: Problem has returned for unknown reasons.

I am loosely copying this from my thread on the Steam forum for Vegas Movie Studio 13 Platinum as it is completely inactive and will hopefully shed more light on here.

When importing a video that has been recorded by Mirillis Action under the container MP4 the audio peak building just ends at 50% and finishes, so then on the timeline, the peaks are perfect until half way where they just stop and is completely silent for the rest of the way (peaks end, playback goes silent as well).

Exactly halfway during playback on all media software, there is a tiny stutter that skips a few frames and that is exactly where MS loses peaks and audio - So this points to Action doing something MS doesn't like.

  • Version is: 13.0 (Build 982)
  • Screenshot: http://prnt.sc/elbzih
  • Audio continues playing just fine past the stutter on VLC media player.
  • Re-formatting the audio via FFmpeg works (using "-acodec copy"), but it's annoying to have to do that due to the way it can take quite a while on hour long recordings (even though it's just copying it).
  • Isn't affected by Action's Hardware Acceleration.
  • Happens on videos of any length (tested from above an hour down to below 5 seconds)
  • Does not happen in an AVI container.


From what I can remember this started happening right as I upgraded my GPU to a GTX 1060.

Try OBS for screenrecording, no problems here in all Vegas versions.

I guess that's one workaround... I haven't even looked at OBS since I was a mere computer toddler and had no idea what any of it meant, so it might work for me now!

The problem is now presumed fixed after NVIDIA Driver update ._. sorry about that

Problem returned after a while of being inactive in the video creation biz, no idea why.

Maybe Windows Update provided you with an NVIDIA driver update while you were inactive.

What driver version are you using now?

What driver version worked (ref. your previous comment)?

What driver version caused the initial problem?

Well yes, unfortunately, I have updated the driver many times since when it had started working correctly.

  • The Current Driver: 382.53
  • I can't remember what version worked, it was so long ago...
  • It seems like upgrading to my current GTX 1060 caused the problem.

Since I've only just started messing around with videos again I couldn't really tell you when the problem returned...

Now I will say, after the new release of OBS Studio, I have started fiddling with that and can say that it doesn't have the same issue as what Action! has.
