VEGAS Pro 23 – Bug & Issues Thread

Len Kaufman wrote on 9/14/2025, 2:04 PM

Weirdness #3. When I stabilize a clip in VP23, using a 3rd party stabilizer (NEWBLUE) it will stabilize, but the stabilization doesn't stick very long. It will usually last long enough for me to render the clip out, but when I go back to it (WITHOUT changing anything in or near that clip), it says Analysis Required. This happens on all of the 6 clips requiring stabilizing in this project, and it's very time consuming to have to do this each time I want to render the project. I've not had that problem with previous versions of VP.

@Len Kaufman what I typically do is set up the stabilizer and then render it to a new file. Then I edit using the already stabilized file.

@jetdv Thank you for your response. Yes, that is an option. In fact, if I need to do a "major" stabilization (I shoot fair amount of aerial video from helicopters), I stabilize the clips using Mercalli before even loading into Vegas. But occasionally, if I only need to do a little "tweak" of a clip, I like to do it "on the fly" as I'm editing.

This de-stabilization that's occurring now is something new (to me) in VP23. I didn't have that issue with VP22. The NewBlue stabilizer gives me more options than the Vegas stabilizer. And unfortunately, my version of Mercalli is SAL only, so I can't use it "on the fly."

I have never encountered this issue with any other version of VEGAS or Movie Studio, but since updating to VEGAS 23 (Build 278), my preview is permanently displayed vertically, and the picture appears dark.

For the darkness issue, that is solved by simply moving the window to my SDR monitor, rather than my main HDR monitor; though there, the image is now too bright. Essentially, either way, it's not ideal.

The upside-down issue, on the other hand, I have absolutely no clue what's causing that or have even seen anything of this issue either on this community page or generally online, especially as said, the video is only flipped vertically, not horizontally too, so basically it's not properly upside down / rotated 180 degrees.

Having issues with the pixel format/color range not properly decoding ProRes files anymore with ACES or something? idk i'm still trying to diagnose and fix my project.

I think this is a known issue. see earlier posts.

@Louis-Danne ProRes 4444 isn't working right and has been acknowledged by the developers so hopefully there will be a quick fix. Other formats don't seem affected.

The display preferences dialoge does not show the options for windows docking as given in the help description. Please see image.

Reyfox wrote on 9/17/2025, 12:20 PM

Docking in Vegas was never in a preference dialog.

What specifically do you want to dock?

Here is how VP23 looks on my computer. Color Grading Panel docked at the bottom. I have the Plugin Manager, Happy Otter Scripts and the Scopes all docked. Use your Ctrl+LMB (left mouse button). Release the LMB when you want to dock.

@DANI-FELLA Is this ProRes 4444? There is a known bug with it. Hopefully there will be a fix before long. If you have VP 22 it should work.

If it's not ProRes, please create a new post and include a screenshot of the project properties and what options you have changed.

alderny wrote on 9/19/2025, 2:10 AM

Thank you @Reyfox, however, there were always a couple of docking options in VP22, and there should be more in VP24. Please see the screenshot from the help dialog for VP24. These options do not exis on my trial version.

jetdv wrote on 9/19/2025, 8:29 AM

@alderny VEGAS Pro 23 has new docking areas. You can now dock Top, Bottom, Left, and Right of the timeline.

Reyfox wrote on 9/19/2025, 9:19 AM

@alderny I can not speak on the trial version, but I've always docked using the method I described above with earlier versions of Vegas.

VEGASDerek wrote on 9/19/2025, 12:34 PM

The error is that the help was not updated. The preference in questions is irrelevant now with the new docking areas.

V23 keeps forgetting and preview device settings.from time to time.
It also renders just a black on the first of a series of prores 422 intermediates.

Reyfox wrote on 9/20/2025, 10:46 AM

@Mindmatter which specific prores 422 are you using?

Rendered with Prores 422 (LT) 24p with no issues.

Mindmatter wrote on 9/20/2025, 2:50 PM

the 422 template from the render menu, changed to 25 p UHD

I posted extensively about the issue here

Vegas 23 Pro. Vegas Screen Capture is not working.
First time the Stop Button is not working.
Now i have now no screen is avaible to capture.

Reyfox wrote on 9/21/2025, 12:41 PM

I "think" it is finally working for me. It is something that hasn't worked for several versions. I've used other software to screen record.

Well, it recorded the wrong screen. It has been "hit or miss" getting it to work.

Robert-Sanders wrote on 9/26/2025, 10:17 PM

Ditto re: Prores 4444

Worked perfectly in V.22, but looks horrible in V.23. The color is blown out about 3x brighter than it's supposed to be.

RogerS wrote on 9/27/2025, 12:11 AM

Known issue only with ProRes4444 that should be fixed soon.

Same here. I can see the screens and window content when I am selecting the Capture Source. Then when selected, the source preview is blank/black and says "Not Available". Then when I start recording, the Stop Recording button does not respond.

Yep!
