Clicking on internal video preview full screen in vegas time line, in my laptop, video from the time line goes to full screen but playng flashes a lot and is unstable. i haven't ever experienced this problem before, with any version of Vegas since 13TH to today.

I use: Vegas 22 pro suite licensed - my vegas project 1080p 25 fps Progressive - Laptop lenovo, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
resolution of the desktop 1920 x 1080 60 Hz. GPU: Intel(R)Iris(R)Xe Graphics - VRAM 128G - Ram shared 8091MB

i attach a link to a short video showing the problem using video preview full screen in Vegas 22 pro:

@Francesco-Castellani Please continue here (you can reply below) and do not create any more new posts on the same issue.

Elsewhere you stated your GPU is a NVIDIA MX350 + integrated Intel Xe.

What if you go to options/preferences/video in VEGAS and change the GPU from the NVIDIA MX350 to the Intel Iris Xe? I suspect the NVIDIA only having 2GB of VRAM is causing problems in VEGAS, though VEGAS may also have a bug and not be tested with it.

I assume your GPU drivers are recent; if not consider updating them on the Intel and NVIDIA websites.

Does the flicker happen even when playing back .jpegs in your project, not just video?

Thanks a lot for the attention, and sorry about my wrong way to use the posts... checking my preferences in vegas, the GPU selected is yet Intel Iris Xe...ram available 8gb... the problem exists also with a jpg in time line, with every still frame and and with every format of video preview in play or still (best/half/draft). I upload 2 screen shots of my preferences in Vegas 22.

Thank you for sharing these details and no problem about the posts.

It seems that VEGAS doesn't try to use the NVIDIA GPU, which is good.

If you go to Windows, device manager and then display adapters can you share your driver version? Here's what mine looks like:

There is an easier way to make a screenshot. If you press the print screen (prtscn) key it should save one. Or press the Windows key + shift + s and then you can make a screenshot.

Can you try to turn off the GPU acceleration temporarily and see if it stops flashing? Where it says IrisXe under preferences/ file io, click it and change it to off.

Unfortunately turning off the GPU acceleration never changes...

about the device manager, i can't understan why in my device manager does'nt appear display adapter, even clicking on show hidden etc etc...

Thanks for testing.

You have display adapters- it's near the bottom "schede video".

If your driver is old you can try to get a new one from the manufacturer of your computer (check their website) or directly from Intel here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/intel-driver-support-assistant.html

thank to you for everything. my drivers are (in the opinion of my windos update) very recently updated. The mistery (about full screen video preview) remains the same... have a nice day. many regards

@Francesco-Castellani That might be the problem. Intel & Microsoft warn laptop users to revert to manufacturer-supplied drivers if there's trouble after a more generic graphics driver update. You can try and roll it back in the Windows device manager if the update was recent and the button is not greyed-out like on my Zenbook:

Otherwise you'll have to reinstall a graphics driver from Lenovo support specifically designed for your model of laptop.

I tried as you suggest, , but in my devices manager, isn't allowed to select the roll back function (see it in the frame uploaded)

I'd suggest contacting VEGAS official support as I don't know anything else you can try to fix the flashing other than different GPU driver versions. https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/support/options/

What he is experiencing is the flashing when he goes full screen preview playback (Video Preview on external monitor) on the laptop.
