Still Images from GoPro 11 are Black Screen after Render

mhammann57 wrote on 1/31/2026, 7:02 PM

I use still images from a GoPro 11 which are inserted into a Vegas 23 project timeline with default transition and display time (5 seconds). The preview shows the images however, after rendering, the images do not appear. All I get instead is a black screen. The audio still plays. Images in the project that didn't originate from GoPro display correctly. I have included the MediaInfo file for one of the images along with the properties reported from Vegas 23 - Build 302. I use NVidia GeForce 3060 drivers 32.0.15.6590.

An issue with VP23.302 that I can confirm, still images turn into black. My option sofar, restart Vegas with the still images project and render the project directly without doing any further edits.
