NewBlue Transitions issue (wrong frames)

jmbouffard wrote on 1/31/2021, 2:10 PM

I created a video project and I have many issues with some of the NewBlueFX transitions. They show ok in the preview window when playing from the editor. However, when rendering the project, the transition will start fine but skip frames in the middle and replace them with a normal frame from one or the other sequence part of the transition. Such skipped frames are happening perhaps 4 or 5 times in a 3 seconds transition. This makes the transition completely unusable.

What is very strange is that when rendering 2 times in a row with absolutely no change to project I got different results. The issue was the same but the skipped frames were different.

I tried many different things as listed below but after getting tired of playing with my GPU configs I tried different transitions and I was able to find one that did not have that behavior. Some had issue but the worst was "3D Blow Appart".

I tried:

  • Updating my GForce GTX 1050 driver to latest version
  • Disabling GPU acceleration for NewBlueFX apps
  • Rendered with both ManinConcept and NV Encoder

I'm using:

  • Movie Studio 16.0 Platinum (build 175)
  • NewBlueFX Transitions 5 Ultimate (5.0.180730)
  • Windows 10, AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 32MB RAM, GTX 1050 GPU

I there any recommendation to fix this issue for all NewBlueFX transitions. Thanks for your help.

No problem here. Have you used any specific preset from the list?

@FayFen, I suppose you mean presets from the transition configuration menu in Movie Studio? The answer is yes. For example, in the "3D Blow Appart" transition, I used a few of the presets with no other modification and the rendered video was always jumping to normal frames in the middle of the transition. I tried a few other transitions and presets with similar issues until I could find one that ended up being fine. I think it was the "3D confetti" transition.

One thing I did not mention previously also is that I can use any of the built-in Movie Studio transition with no issue at all, this shows up only in NewBlueFX.

Thanks

I guess you used the default preset then. All I can suggest is either do a reset to vms or reinstall NB trans5 that you received with VMS16P.

I don't know if your AMD is the culprit but on other NLE I have we have "issues" with AMD's (not all on the bad side)

@FayFen As I said I did not use only the default preset but multiple presets from each of the NB Transitions, including the default one. I did not try to modify the detailed options to create my own transition or my own preset. I guess I was hoping the included presets should be working fine. Thanks for suggestion.
