Vegas 18 Pro semi-inverted colors.

Hi!

I use a AMD system, and sens August 2023 i started to get issues with semi-inverted colors in Vegas. all i did was to update my GPU drivers. and all of the sudden the colors was all over the place.

it seams to be a few "tricks" that you need to put either in the project file settings or for the videos added to the timeline it self.

But what iam looking for now, is there a way to make these semi-inverted colors in Vegas fixes more permanent?

it just feel´s ( i might be wrong) that Vegas only code their products for Intel and Nvidia. and if you do that, there is no reason for me to stay as a Vegas customer after 20 years of buying and using Vegas.

anyhow, i would be very happy if someone had one or more trix / solution´s to share with me. :)

Best Regards

Please consider the possibility that the problem my very well lie with the new AMD driver as per this thread:

https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/problem-with-rendering--142292/#ca890166

The OP in this thread found that fo reverting the AMD driver to verison 23.7.2 avoided the bug that affects later AMD drivers. I'm sure that I've read elsewhere on the forum that the AMD driver bug affects other programs as well, so hopefully you won't pack up your bat and ball and go elsewhere.

Rule #1 is to not update AMD drivers until you see confirmation from other users that the drivers work for the applications you care about. They're quite notorious for breaking programs (and why I had enough of AMD GPUs). Be sure to report the problem to AMD so they feel more pressure to ensure compatibility with VEGAS.

FWIW life isn't perfect in NVIDIA land either with an annoyingly stubborn preview freezing bug in VEGAS that took half a year to address.

I tried the latest driver 23.9.2 and that is what it did when you used the Event FX. You have no way of using color fx. But once you exit the Video Event FX (Pan/Crop), color goes back to what it should be.

Again, I've gone back to the stable 22.5.1, but will always try a new driver to see if things go well with Vegas.
