Screen recording in Platinum 17

Tia wrote on 3/13/2021, 3:36 PM

My laptop screen appears super staticky in the "Generic PNP Monitor" and every thing I'm capturing appears staticky (imagine an old school tv screen when the antennae messes up, like that). Nothing is wrong with my actual screen and what I'm capturing, but it doesn't reflect that in my screen capture itself. The audio is perfect but my screen and it's visual capture looks like an acid trip. My laptop is 64bit, Windows 10. Please help!!!

I am having the same problem. All I find in these forums is to use OBS Studio instead. That is not an answer. I will submit a ticket directly to support and hope to get answer. If I do, I'll get back to this thread and post what I find out.

I like to help you with my solutions but because you don't gif any of your hardware( except the older Nvidia) in all your comments its very hard to help you.
Which GPU('s) do you have and which exactly drivernumber(s) are used

Thanks j-v. Let's just forget it. I can video capture with other programs without tearing my hair out trying to spec out why Vegas capture doesn't work. That's just crazy. I paid for it. It should - y'know - work. It doesn't. I just thought it made sense to use the built-in program in Vegas Pro (or Movie Studio) since it came in the software I paid for, and in the case of Vegas Pro, paid a goodly sum. I tried to find what GPU information I could in my hardware and couldn't find anything. The whole thing is ridiculous. Magix/Vegas flunks the video capture test. By the way, I tried vidcap60.exe as a stand-alone. It is truly awful. I yearn for the good-old days of Sonic Foundry.

That is another program, you shall try this one: C:\Program Files\VEGAS\Movie Studio Platinum 17.0\VEGASCapture

You have to copy that total file and place it in C:\Programfiles and use the exe in that file as startpic and start it with one of the possible two GPU's
