Odd occasional glitches when crossfading

I just upgraded to VP22 and now feel like I made the mistake of volunteering to be a beta tester for the many problems this new version is having. Just upgraded to Vegas Pro 21 last March and it was pretty solid. Thought I'd upgrade to 22 last week and now I'm paying the price as the issues are costing me massive amounts of time troubleshooting all the inherent problems.

I'm working with 4k and standard 1920x1080 HD footage together in my project and making all my edits with about a 15-20 frame crossfade between video clips. I sometimes notice a random green frame show up in the video preview window while lengthening the end of cut A to crossfade over cut B on the timeline. (the glitch is not in the original footage though) If I render it... the glitch shows up there too.

I also notice in other spots that a random video glitch (no green frame... just 1 bad moving video frame glitch) shows up also right near the crossfade. If I move where that video crossfade appears to make it a second or two earlier or later (trying to avoid the glitch in my render) The glitch moves as well to follow wherever I move the crossfade.

It's just the standard Vegas timeline crossfade... not any of the fancy transitions.

After several hours of frustration... I took the crossfade out, rendered the video to a new track and then created fades on that media on it's own new track to fade to the master track below it. Not a work around that I want to keep having to do.

BTW: tried the new "Synchronize Audio to Align Events" function on another project. What would have taken me 4 minutes to line up myself is still spinning after over an hour as this function has yet to complete lining up 6 measly pieces of audio/video. This is garbage!!!

On my Windows 10 Home Desktop with Intel Core i9-10850K CPU @ 3.60GHz and 64 gigs of ram.

Known issues with the new decoder but apparently at least the green glitch should be fixed in the next update: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/vp21-b300-and-big-problem-with-mxf--145196/?page=6#ca929396

In the meantime you could try to enable legacy AVC or experimental HEVC in preferences/ file io or use 21.208 which doesn't have these issues.

Select the transition area on your timeline and do a RAM "Prerender." Instructions are in your Vegas Help, on this forum, and several resources on the internet.

@mark-y How does creating a temporary pre-render help with glitches? There is no mention of this in any tutorials.

@Greg-Otterholt  Adding to RogerS suggestion, If you haven't as yet removed Vegas 21, make sure you have the exact same settings duplicated within version 22..... Yes, we get that you are frustrated with certain new features, that is understandable. You mention your issues and we try to help, no need for the repeated cursings.

@mark-y Doing a RAM Prerender over the area has no real bearing in preventing glitches or fixing Synchronize Audio issues.
