Dear Sony,
I don't know if a issue with Vegas 5 like I'm about to explain will ever be addressed because it only appears under very specific circumstances. Unfortunately for me it's very common due to my workflow and editing style.
The bug or malfunction i'm seeing is when you add 1:85:1 cropping to a clip (or 16x9 for that matter) and animate it. with pan crop. In other words add a software zoom or subtle twist to the shot. Anytime this is used in conjunction with the "Glow" filter it creates a very bizzare looking flickering towards the top of the image where it touches the mask.
It's very easy to reproduce. Simply take a clip with well exposed highlights (one that the "Glow" filter will compliment) add the 1:85:1 crop and animate it either with a zoom or a zoom twist. Now add the glow filter (can be done in reverse order- same result is yielded). After you render it out you'll see the flickering I'm seeing at the top of the frame.
Now I know there is probably a small percentage of users that will actually encounter this issue but I figured if it was something that "could" be addressed in a future patch I'd be incredibly greatful.
As it is now during my montage segments (ones that have effects and cropping) I have to separate all the clips that are "animated" in pan/crop and render then as separate AVIs without any cropping- re-import and THEN apply the cropping/animation. Very time consuming. Is there some algorithm or attribute that the programers can tweak to fix this?
Best Regards,
Glen M Elliott
