Reversal of MagicYUV rendered results in AWOL Media.

OK, I started this research as part of another Post, which was in itself a CallOut to others if they could replicate my observations when using the Reverse option in the Drop Down Event Menu.

Observation: When "Reversing" a Rendered MagicYUV RGBA the media would go AWOL.

Outcome: Today I've been in touch with the author of MagicYUV, Balázs Oroszi, who has told me this:

The reversing bug affects the MagicYUV Vegas Pro PLUGINS. It happens with VP17 (build 455), VP18 (build 527), VP19 (build 424).

Also this:

As an additional note I couldn't find anything in the plugin SDK with regards to reversing, and my plugin logs show nothing special either. The reversed media simply turns up as empty frame for me.

So, what I had unwittingly stumbled on was a Reversing Bug that needs the specific input from Team-Vegas to assist Balázs Oroszi. Needless to say, MagicYUV is mustard at rendering and produces ALPHA. If I wish to reverse that output then I'd need to reach out to VASST's Video Overlay, which will reverse nicely. The Reverse option in the Menu isn't at fault, rather it's the SDK for reversing that is at issue here.

I hope @VEGASDerek et al can asist Balázs Oroszi to get this to work.

We investigated the issue, and the problem is related to an incorrect return value from the plugin for a specific function call made by VEGAS. The call was also handled incorrectly in the example plugin we had provided with the SDK, and we will have that fixed in the next release of the SDK.

We have communicated with MagicYUV about it, and I believe they should be able to get this to work by making the recommended changes, without waiting for a SDK update, though we do hope to get that out very soon too.

Thank you for working on this issue and your honesty! It's a rare and beautiful gem for a software company to openly communicate their small oversight with it's user base in a public forum. I, for one of many I suspect, truly appreciate your continued support and development of VEGAS.

👏👏👏👏👏

Yes, I got the necessary instructions about the fix and will make a release ASAP. I'll let you know when it's all finished.

This is good news 😺

@MagicYUV How are things progressing? Is the promised fix about to be released?

It’s all very quiet… 🤫

@MagicYUV Do you know if there is a fix for the plugin and also an installer that works with VP 20? The website still lists 2021 as the last update.
