If you use Continuum Complete, can you test DenoiseML in Vegas Pro 21?

I subscribe to Boris FX Continuum Complete, and they've added a "Machine Learning" Denoise module. But when I try to use it in Vegas Pro 21, Build 187, it (and VP21) crash to "Not Responding." I am interested to learn if others who may have BCC also experience this same behavior. If so, any thoughts on determining if VP or BCC is the culprit?

Update after more troubleshooting: This appears to be another case where Intel ARC is simply not ready for VEGAS Pro power-use. I uninstalled all the Intel GPU drivers, removed the ARC from my system, installed an old AMD 5600XT, installed the Pro Edition of the AMD drivers, set VEGAS Pro File I/O to use that AMD GPU, restarted, and tried the same 10-second clip test of BCC+ DeNoise ML.
Result: It successfully ran and rendered without hiccup. It took a few minutes to do just those 10 noisy seconds of 4k video, but the image was VERY impressive, considering the poor lighting I had in the scene.

Maybe report that to Intel? It would be good for ARC to fully run on VEGAS (I'd gladly consider a higher end one as a next GPU given NVIDIA prices).

I did report the problem to Intel, and they may address it.
But I decided to upgrade my GPU, and went with an AMD 7800 XT. It seems like a very good card, with enough power and CODEC support, and relatively mature drivers. It's a very long card, though; I upgraded my case to a Corsair 5000D, too. That case has excellent airflow and well organized space.

To overcome the new slow Boris FX DenoiseML I have written a script to bypass only that particular FX.

see the scripting post:
