Some Day/Year Will Vegas Go HDR10?!

In V23

1,
Ruler marker doesn't match time/frame.
It shifts the marker between Frames so that I must set my grid snap to Frames.

2,
Color range doesn't change when manual adjusted.
It impacts all source material no matter whether the interpretation goes right or wrong.

3,
It doesn't recognize HDR10 in ProRes422 format which I create and use in V22.
I must manually set the Color space to Rec.2020 ST2084 (2000 nits).

4,
The worst: CGP clamps light level around 100 nits.
It's since many Vegas versions.
I bought all versions and want to work with this software.
What time may I do?

5,
No HDR signal to the second display screen.
My hardware and conf. please see my Signature.

Hopefully version 23 will see the addition of full HDR support to the new video engine. Fingers crossed!

The missing HDR10 signal on the secondary display and the clipping at 100nit are known issue.

Try to use acescc instead of ACES default for the 100nit issue

And the missing seconday display with HDR10 is work in progress.

Correction:

After Refining of my (HDR10) project the HDR10-ProRes format can be recognized automatically and displayed fine, so the source HLG-files from my Lumix GH6 and DJI Mini4Pro as well.

No luck with goPro Hero5 Pro tune flat color.

@Yelandkeil Hi, can I ask how your render speeds are in VP23 with your AMD Ryzen9 5950x?

Yelandkeil wrote on 9/11/2025, 5:18 AM

@Gid, the render speed isn't a theory or feeling, it depends on diverse factors - HW/config/access, source material, vfx etc. - my problem is trying to use Vegas producing HDR10.

Till now no way, and seems like a bad feature/future.
God bless me.

@Yelandkeil Yes I understand that, but would you render a short piece of media, no fxs or adjustments in VP22, then render the same piece of media with the same settings in VP23 & see if there's a notable difference, Pls post the results on my post 👍 https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/vp22-vs-vp23-rendering-speed-vp23-slower-than-vp22--149593/

Could the team teach me what do the 2 items mean:

V23-Preferences -> General
activate DX11 output mode
Use fp 16 mode to display SDR/HDR content

These two options will only activate incomplete features. Do not use. (They should be in the internal preferences.)

I've checked the "activate DX11 output mode" nevertheless and till now find no issues.
It brings up huge rendering speed.

About issue #2,
Color range doesn't change when manual adjusted.
It impacts all source material no matter whether the interpretation goes right or wrong.

Internal set the "enable extended Color conversion" to FALSE and now I can adjust event color range as I will.
The extended/illegal colors are valuable for post editing, especially in HDR colorgrading.

CGP works fine in SDR!
Still awaiting same perfection for HDR!!

Thanks @VEGASDerek.
