Still image handling bug in 9.0b ?

A. Grandt wrote on 9/27/2009, 10:47 PM
Trying to do a zoom on this image (12k x 15k pixels), from full image, to a smaller area (1280x720), I notice that it starts normal, then suddenly inverts the image, and near the end it returns to the correct colours.
This happens on both the original tif image, and on a PNG version I made with The Gimp.

Same with this smaller image.

They show correctly in the time line in draft mode, it's in the rendered output that this image in made negative, as seen in this example render.

Is this something new, or is there something I can do?

I'm using Vegas Pro 9.0b on XP-SP3, both 32-bit.

Best Regards

That's a really wierd problem seeing as how I'd tried a 21.5K x 7.5K image a week ago without problem. I'd suggest reporting this one.

Bob, have you tried to repro it? And have you seen the error?

As I said and posted about I tried a huge still a week ago and it worked fine. It took the better part of an hour to download the 75MBs of it!

I've just downloaded one of the images used by the OP and I'll see how that goes. Maybe it has something to do with the content of the image.
I have to wait for a PTT to complete though.

Sure, I DID read that, but I also interpreted your reply as you had NOW tried to repro the error! And I wanted to make sure I had gotten hold of the correct end of the diminutive timber - as it were . . ? - See?

OK, PTT ahd finished. Downloaded one of the images, only the 13MB version, the best quality TIFF version is pushing close the the gigabyte size, that'll take a while to D/L :)

Anyways nothing goes wrong with it.
Some thoughts I had. Several have reported all manner of wierd problems after updating to the latest version of QT. That'd make sense as being a possible source of the problem if working from a TIFF however the OP did say he converted from TIFF to PNG and still had the problem so I think we can rule out QT as being the problemo.

I'll try some more to see if I can break it. I'll try downloading the Best Quality original overnigth. I just gotta keep on with this PTT. Would have been nice if the client had said they wanted TAPE as they couldn't handle MXF and this is another freebie.

I should mention I'm still running V9.0a so I'll do more tests and then upgrade V9 to "b" and see if that breaks it. That'll give us some more info to feed to SCS.

DEFINITELY check Quicktime. Vegas is fine, but one of my image previewing aps is messed up, and After Effects CS4 (unstable as it was to begin with) is a disaster now (running on Vista Ultimate 64 - which Adobe is already slow to support).

I couldn't dupiclate the problem as reported, but it wouldn't surprize me that QT is involved. Apple seems to be getting its fingers into everything, whether we like it or not (and what's with their push to put iPhone etc config utilities on my system...I don't even have an iTouch/iPhone, and don't use iTunes).

I had a similar issue with stitched images for a panoramic (stitched in CS3 Photoshop). It inverted the image color-wise.

I rendered out several times in different formats and got the same problem. I restarted and it went away. Also, Vegas 64 worked fine with the same timeline but the 32 was the one effected.

I reported this for V9a and SCS confirmed it as a bug. With the haste in releasing 9b it probably was not fixed.

Thanks, I'll wait for 9c then :)

Did they name any specific conditions where this happened, as some people apparently are not having trouble with their images?

It was a huge panorama that it happened on. 29,998x1739 PNG file. They were able to reproduce it with this file but did not give me any advice on the threshold where it happens.
