Vegas Pro 15 video clip problems

jasonstover wrote on 4/11/2019, 1:45 PM

I have Sony Vegas Pro 15. Recently I have started to encounter a problem where I clip a video and after the split the preview shows a darkened and almost photo negative type image to the video. The audio plays along fine but the video has this horrible look for a little. Then it goes to normal but might get this washed and photo negative look again with a very black center to it.
This seems to happen when I clip (press s) a video and then move the parts together again.
It renders into the final video and looks horrible.
I am trying to upload a screen shot of what is happening. This is very frustrating and I have not found any information in a lot of searching online. Mainly because I am trying to describe what is happening.
You can see from the image I am providing that it seems to splotch itself around on the video for a bit. It will move around and will go away after a moment. I could cut it out but then it will do it on the freshly cut sections. I tried to use red arrows to show the general region where its happening. The image is a night time minecraft scene. So I have provided a second image of it happening on a day time scene. In the day time image the entire screen is messed up and the colors are all wrong and goofy on top of the black blotches.


As is requested for a thorough response I am providing media information and properties. The media info output file is split into two screen shots because of the one lower section not being in view without scrolling.

Sounds like a source media problem. Please post Media Info for help here.

>> Recently I have started to encounter a problem

Are you saying that you did not have this problem on other projects in the past with VP15 ?

You are correct. I did not have this problem every time I used Sony Vegas. It has started to crop up recently or to grow worse.
I will share my settings etc.

The image is not being decoded properly for some reason, or it did not get encoded properly. Does it do this when you view the same parts of the video outside of Vegas?

@jasonstover if you go Options > Preferences > Video tab, and set 'GPU acceleration of video processing:' to 'None', does that help?

The video is fine until it gets into Vegas. I did double check though before answering you.

That does not stop it. I was hopeful cause it sounds right.

Curiously, did you "accidentally" click on the FX Preview/bypass in the Viewer?

I unhighlighted it and it still does the same thing. Its right after cuts where the two sections have been moved together. Almost like after a cut the entire thing has lost information for a split second.

20 frames per second seems odd to me. Are your project properties also 20 fps? Might be fine but I have never used a constant frame rate of 20 fps.

Another question. Is Quantize to frames set?

You ever been hugged by a 6 foot tall youtuber? LOL you saved my whole thing. I was about to throw in the towel.
It does not 100% stop it but the only time its doing that now is when I jump suddenly onto a segment of video and start playing at that spot. But now when transitioning between splits it has stopped.
Turning off Quantize frames fixed it.
