Thank you, John. Downloading now.

But no mention of a fix for stabilization which is a real stopper for many of us !!

Small sample size - i.e., 1 mp4 render with 521 (x64):

It rendered an MP4 for me and 511 would not. Only the 32 bit would render an MP4. I wouldn't have thought any of the six fixes listed would have taken care of my problem, but so far it is looking good.

thx John

Rendered short clip with NB Titler Pro FX to mp4 perfectly.

Still doing main editing in 10e 64-bit but animated titles in V11-64-bit 521. All good so far...

Thanks for that John, will install as soon as i can.

Paul.

I simply installed the new versions over the previous versions and all looks good so far. I tried keyframing colour changes in the Solid Colour Generator, saved, closed and re-opened and the keyframes are still there and working.

ain't no cure for the summertime blues.....

still have multiple, empty, un-deletetable, un-renameable 'media generator packages' folders under compositors in plug-in manager....

BUILD 521 ERROR REPORTING SUGGESTIONS:

I would like to suggest that the only people reporting problems with Build 521 are those who have Vegas running on a fairly clean system - one without anti-virus software, risky codecs or other applications that can interfere with Vegas. When reporting problems to Sony about the render-to-black issue, Sony recommended not having any anti-virus software installed.

IF YOU INSIST on reporting your problems from an install on a less-than-tidy system, please let us know if you have anti-virus software or other programs running in the background.

I am really hoping the kinks are worked-out and the best way to establish this is to test-out Build 521 on clean installs.

EDIT: I have installed build 521 on a spare (identical) machine & will let it run some problematic VEG files for a while. Will post results as soon as I have some data...

Uninstalled 511. Deleted all folders. Cleaned registry. Installed 521. No anti-virus. Only additional codecs are Avid and AJA.
On first tests of primarily used rendering codecs, all looks fine so far. Haven't been through them all. Didn't have crash problems with 511 and haven't seen one yet in a few hours.
Stabilization is not fixed for me in this build. I think it's worse.
I stabilized a clip that build 511 had handled well (until you closed and reopened the project) and there was a huge jump mid-clip. Rendering to a new track reproduced the poorly stabilized clip from the timeline accurately. Rendering to file gave me the original unstabilized clip. All media/project/render settings were identical.

Closed project and reopened with newly introduced jitters throughout, just as 511 did before. This is on a new project also, not one that was begun in 511.

When attempting to solve issues with Vegas 10 I made a note that Sony and/or Blackmagic stated that it is best to install Vegas first and then the Blackmagic Decklink drivers/codecs. When I did the install in that order, Vegas stopped crashing during a render that used HD Files from a Decklink capture.

On one test system I installed Vegas 11 on top of V10. It crashed until I uninstalled my Blackmagic Decklink drivers & reinstalled them.

This is one reason I suggested that V11 be installed on a clean system. Vegas seems to do better if it exists first & 3rd party codecs, etc. are added later. IMO it is not enough to clean the registry. It think it is better to go back to a fresh image of the OS hard drive before any version of Vegas was added. At least until we can nail-down whether or not this version of Vegas is stable.

-just my 2 cents for the day...
