Pixelating / tearing footage Vegas Movie Studio 15

Nobbythecat2 wrote on 5/10/2018, 10:14 AM

I have been trying to edit 4K footage in VMS 15. The original footage looks fine but once imported into VMS the footage seems to corrupt. There are visible horizontal tears or horizontal lines of pixelation across the footage when rendered. If I delete and re-import the footage the problem may go away but reappear elsewhere. It's hard to see whether the problem is visible in the trimmer but is very obvious when rendered.

I have tried rendering using GPU acceleration and without. Using Magix AVC/AAC MP4 format.

I have tried 'Reduce Interlace Flicker'.

None of these seem to work. Any ideas as to how I could solve this?

VMS v15 (build 116)

Windows 7

Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti

Camera - Panasonic GH4 - MOV files

Which project properties did you use and which exactly Magix AVC rendertemplate?

4K 2160-25p (3840x2160, 25.000 fps)

Field order: None (progressive Scan)

Frame rate 25fps

Rendering quality: best

Deinterlace method: none

----------------------

Magix AVC/AAC MP4:

Internet 4K 2160p 25 fps

Audio: 192 Kbps, 48,000 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo, AAC
Video: 25 fps, 3840x2160 Progressive, YUV, 24 Mbps
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.000

Profile: high

Field order: None (progressive Scan)

Encode mode: Mainconcept AVC 9or NV encoder when trying to render with GPU)

 

I hope that this is all of the info that you require.

OK thanks. Maybe you can try following if you not did it already

In Options/Preference/Edit /no acceleration

Render only with Magix Avc Mainconcept AVC.

If this does not help disable the use of the so4compoundplug.

I have tried rendering without an sort of GPU acceleration. That didn't work.

I've also tried disabling that .dll. That didn't work either.

It should have been using this Plug-In
  Name: compoundplug.dll
  Folder: D:\Programs\Sony Movie Studio 15\FileIO Plug-Ins\compoundplug
  Format: AVC
  Version: Version 15.0 (Build 116)

Don't know if it matters but Vegas dislikes installations not on C:\Program files.
Sorry but I can't help you any further.

OK, thanks. I'll keep trying!

After a few weeks of trying to sort out the above problem I decided to check on the RAM installed. The test threw up over 15000 errors so I swapped the RAM and this totally solved the issue.
