Interesting Thumbnail View - Vegas 21-108

john_dennis wrote on 8/21/2023, 8:51 AM

While editing this morning, I observed a change in the way thumbnails were displayed in Project Media.

The Preview was unusual, too.

Wait for it...

Operator Error

The side trip gave me an opportunity to explore the Project Media Transport Controls.

Back to normal

I'll hide my head in shame for a while.

You gave me a heart attack. I thought we really screwed something up.

Don't worry, mate. I sometimes do color or audio EQ corrections and see or hear the changes, in bypass!!

I'm not sure that was operator error, Vegas has been reducing project width to 8 pixels for a while (since V19, I think) when setting up 360 projects.

@3d87c4 I can reproduce your observation. I didn't intentionally set project to 360 this morning. If I actually struck that key, it really was operator error. Maybe there is another trigger to the width change. With no other changes to Project Properties, I didn't get the error the first time I tried to set the project to 360.

@VEGASDerek You can start to sweat after all.

Actually, I rarely use the 360 button, so I think it has more to do with either the large frame size or 3D stereographic projects (in my case).

I recently include this issue in a support request, but my ticket involved several other symptoms which were addressed by changing the NVIDEA settings to "compatible" & Magix closed my ticket without any real response.

Here's a thread I started that includes the 8pixel width bug & other issues:

@3d87c4  @VEGASDerek

It appears that the width reduction happens any time the Advanced tab is active and OK is pressed. No particular button is at fault.

@3d87c4 and @john_dennis This is really strange. Reproduced this problem yet. One thing that might help me out is for you to provide your preference file to me to analyze. That could indicate what might be going wrong here. Look in c:\users\(username)\AppData\Local\VEGAS Pro\20.0 and find the persist.prefs file.

3d87c4 wrote on 8/24/2023, 12:30 PM

@VEGASDerek I just messaged a google drive link to you of my Vegas 20 persist.prefs file.

This problem also occurred in V19 and maybe V18.
