I see that Jan 5th 2026 there are new drives available for my GPU. I am starting to install them.

I am 46. I have been creating videos since 2009 (the date when my first daughter was born in). My first video software was Pinnacle, next one was Sony Vegas 8 (I am not sure if remember it correctly). I am also a developer and wedding movie operator and editor. For example: I have created an Android app which let me control Vegas Pro rendering progress level on Android smartphone. I created it for fun, because I also love programming. I also created my own plugin for Audio To Text feature specified usage from Vegas Pro 19. I created proxy creation plugin which uses multiple GPU threads (maximum 3) to create proxy files for Vegas Pro. I also written many others plugin/softwares which enhance my video editing, also wedding editing.

With your CPU, rendering I am sure is quite fast. And yes, I would think that rendering with Nvidia right now would point to the issue. I don't know if your V6 build is the latest or not though. Or a driver issue?

Drivers update didn't fix this issue. I will try to reboot my PC, but I will do it in 4 hours.

Yes, my CPU is effcient, but I suppose that my GPU is more efficient than CPU, that's why I would like use GPU in that case.

I fully understand! If I had your GPU, I'd want it to be used during rendering too! Maybe send a note to proDAD about the issue?

@marcinzm Here's an instance where I found the stabilization broke with Mercalli V5 in Vegas 23 (302). I started a project in Vegas Pro 22 and stabilized your video using the Mercalli V5, Forensic option. I rendered using NVENC and Intel QSV successfully. Then I opened the project in Vegas Pro 23 and rendered twice using NVENC and Intel QSV. At first it looked like the stabilization was in effect, but actually it wasn't. The video was shaking although the forensic frame was bobbing around like it was stabilized. I found that I had to click the Analyze button on Mercalli to reanalyze the footage again in V23. Then it rendered successfully. So, something is broken when you open a project started in V22 with Mercalli V5 and then open the project in V23. The stabilization gets messed up.

Unfortunately after PC reboot and stabilizing in 6 SAL via Nvidia GPU the output file still has wrong frame per second.

@Robert Johnston I discovered such similar behaviour long time ago too.

@marcinzm I can confirm your findings:

Since you bought today Mercalli 6 OFX, makes no sense to use Mercalli 6 SAL anymore...

marcinzm wrote on 1/12/2026, 5:03 PM

@3POINT Ok. Thank you for your suggestion, but what software is best in stabilizing: Mercalli 6 SAL or Mercalli 6 OFX?
