I have edited a huge wedding project, shoot with the FS7 in slog3, UHD 25p XAVC-i. Working with a LUT to transform it to rec709 - but in the extra LUT plugin.

Do you use the CGP?

What is the footage type you shoot?

Project settings?

Specification of your machine?

Not sure what CPT is.

CGP means the color grading portal in Vegas.

And the project settings go far beyond resolution and framerate. Maybe you have a snapshoot from the settings of the project properties?

Wolfgang, Thanks for your help. I have not gotten to color grading. Just trying to play the various clips in the project.

Is it possible that Vegas 22 is using a different codec to play the files? Not sure how to find the correct one.

This are quite simple 8bit full range project settings. According to your specifications of your machine, that should be played back in a nice way.

Have you tried to reduce the preview quality?

Please post also snapshoots of your preferences - both for video and file i/o.

Yes, I tried reducing the preview quality - basically little effect. Attached are the snapshoots. Thanks again.

Any other effects that you apply to the footage?

You could try to use in the file i/o preferences your i-GPU (that you have in your CPU). But I am not sure if that helps enough.

Or you try to enable the legacy AVC encoder.

And another try could be to disable the direct GPU import path (what disables the new video engine).

But do it step by step, if anything helps.

To see, how an event in the timeline is decoded, make a right click on the event in the timeline. Under properties media you can scroll down and find the decoder used for the footage.

Again, thanks for your assistance.

No effects. Just at this point trying to play the footage.

"And another try could be to disable the direct GPU import path (what disables the new video engine).". Not sure how to do this.

Or you try to enable the legacy AVC encoder. - No effect

"You could try to use in the file i/o preferences your i-GPU" used hardware decoder changed to intel GPU no effect....

Can you upload one of your original files to a webspace, like google drive? And send me the download link? I would like to test your footage.

Thanks again Wolfgang. Attached is a link of a file directly from the FS7.

@Wolfgang S.Could you kindly take a minute and look into my issue as well? I posted this in the forum under Video : Vegas Pro 22 Build 194 - keeps crashing during render.

Thanks in advance.

@Rosled I will do so.
@jredmond I will have a look to the file. Takes me some time please (I am on the way to go skiing)

Thanks again Wolfgang. Attached is a link of a file directly from the FS7.

Thank you for the file. I see here that it is a 10bit 422 All-I HD clip. I recommend to adjust the project settings to the actual frame rate of the footage (what is here not 30p but 60p).

And: I have tested that footage on my laptop. With the best preview settings best/full, the clip plays back with the full framerate of 59,94 fps with 8bit full range. Even if I change the settings to 32bit floating point (video level), the clip plays back with the full frame rate.

So, are there other effects that you apply to the clip?

You find the specification of my laptop in my signiture.
