Problem inverted colors AMD (in preview video and rendering video)

imakoda wrote on 5/20/2024, 12:24 PM

Hi, I'm having problems with Sony Vegas Pro 17. It inverts the colors (or places a kind of blue filter) both in the preview and when rendering.
I have an AMD Ryzen 5600G (I use the integrated video card of the same processor).
I have read about several "solutions" but none of them work completely.

-Would buying a dedicated graphics card solve this?

- I have read that I can downgrade the video drivers. I tried 23.11.1 and 23.7.2 but neither of them worked (people usually say that downgrading to these drivers should fix it, but it didn't work for me) (I am currently using 24.3.1 which does not solve this).

-What other solutions exist for this problem?

(these are the solutions that I have already tried but that have not worked completely well for me).
1- Disable gpu acceleration
2- Set pixel format in 32 bits
3- Render with AMD VCE
4- Downgrade drivers to 23.11.1 or 23.7.2
These options solve me the problem in parts, for example when to a video track I put an effect, that video track remains with the inverted colors, or at the moment of previewing the colors are inverted).

@imakoda You may need to contact VEGAS Support explaining your issue. Please note that you need to have a legit license from MAGIX (not "Sony") for your software..

I fix it. I write it here in case someone in the future has this same error.
Unfortunately I had to switch to a older version of Sony Vegas (I've switched to 14, but I've read about people who have downloaded newer or older versions and got it fixed).

I have read that Sony Vegas 17 brings this problem with it and it is partly due to the sapphire plugin. Another solution is to add a new sapphire effect (whatever you choose, for example s_glow) in the clip that has the inverted color and you will see that the color is solved, then you should configure the plugin you have added so that it does not disturb, for example in s_glow set the brightness to 0.001... yes its a weird solution but it works.

There are people who have solved this problem following the step of this video (use the twixtorPRO plugin, but it does not fix the color transitions).

@imakoda Please note though that VEGAS Pro 14 and later versions come from MAGIX and Sony is not involved with those versions. The tutorial video heading also incorrectly mentions "Sony Vegas" but it is actually VEGAS Pro 17 (from MAGIX) which is used there.

(For Your Information: "Sony Vegas vs VEGAS")

Maybe you can use Channel Blend fx that comes with Vegas and select RGBA-BGRA preset instead of adding another sapphire fx. Most inverted problems are actually interchanges between the R channel and the B channel. Normally, RGB order is used, while Vegas uses BGR order internally.

Newer drivers should fix this, not seeing other current complaints from AMD users.

The one exception is:

"Blue and Red colors may be swapped in VEGAS Effects and HitFilm when using recent AMD Adrenalin drivers. It is recommended to revert the driver to version 23.7.2 to avoid this problem "

Using Twixtor may not be the best solution. Instead, utilizing the specified AMD drivers could be a better option. Considering the versions of Vegas are quite outdated, it would be more cost-effective to upgrade Vegas to the latest version than to purchase Twixtor. It is advisable to proceed with the upgrade.

@imakoda Where did get these versions of Sony Vegas 17 and Sony Vegas 14 from?
