Hey All,

Has anyone been able to successfully use HEVC CPU encoding to render a video in Vegas Pro? Whenever I run the render, the output preview looks fine, and the render completes just fine, but the resulting video is quite messed up. There is a green hue to almost everything in the image, the frame is cropped incorrectly, it looks like some elements that should be on the outer edges of the frame have been "wrapped around" or something and are now distorted and in the wrong place. Here is an example:

Output with HEVC CPU encoding:

Output with HEVC GPU (NVENC) encoding:

I am quite baffled by this behavior, but I am also not an expert when it comes to Vegas Pro, so maybe there's something obvious I'm missing? Any input is most appreciated :)
