Funny thing: Each and every time I upgrade my Vegas Pro (Have enjoyed Vegas since the very first version 3) - no matter how much I search here or in Help I can not find the "More and ..." to add a "Save as" button after the "Save" - and I always forget how I did it the last time :) - Could it be made a little more intuitive for 24 ?...

@ritsmer In vp23 you can still add a button to the top line of icons on the toolbar with Options/Customize Toolbar. If you do it via a short script, you can also use a better looking png for the icon rather that the blaaa Vegas white one. Be nice if pointing at any toolbar with a right-click would get you there in vp24 without having to memorize all the menus.

Thank you - and yes, that would be a perfect solution for 24 (or a 23 update). I actually did try to right click that toolbar several times 😊 thinking that would be the way to do it.

I'm getting some odd levels and colours with a ProPes overlay in VP23. The background is X-AVC S and is ok. The foreground overlay is ProRes 4444 XQ with straight unmatted alpha channel and was originally rendered in VP22. Jpegs show the same project in VP22 (left) and VP23 (right). Colours look wrong in VP23. There are no luts or colour grading.

The annoying undo buffer crash still exists in VP23. Can you please fix this?

 

If you don't know what this is, after a long time of editing, if I try to undo something, usually a titles and text change undo, I get an error message due to an undo buffer error. If I don't immediately save the file, I'll lose what I did because the next action performed will cause the program to crash. This bug has been around for quite a while. I have gotten accustomed to saving my project every couple of minutes

So insanely disappointing to hear this. It's been YEARS of it doing this and it blows my mind that they can't get the stability of the software fixed.

Also has anyone tested 23 with HEVC 422 60fps footage for playback performance without proxies. Or other heavy footage like from Canon. Even XF-AVC 422 footage in 60fps is unplayable without proxies and I skipped VP22 since there was no improvement.

Hello! So I am working on V23 since yesterday and I have some informations about bugs:

1. When I group tracks my vegas cursor which is moving when I press space just freeze and audio levels on Master Bus didn't work after that. I must restart V23 to make it work - it's not a big deal but it's good to know. Everything unfreeze when I was holding ctrl+s.

2. Next bug is related to Color Grading. When I wanted to make grading to Event FX and wanted to choose preset which I created earlier, on some clips I have name of this preset when I haven't even added it to clip on which I open Event FX window.

3. On clips from Sony A7S3 I have strange glitch bar on right I am not able to make it disappear. I need to slightly zoom clip to make it disappear. On any other clips from Canon cameras everything is perfect.

4. Clips from DJI Mini 2 are laggy when before on Vegas20 everything was perfect. Here I have clips with the same settings than before I was using on V20.

5. After clicking CANCEL while I am rendering, V23 freeze and close instanly.

6. When I finish to edit one project I create new one by clicking File -> New... and then I have frame in video preview from project which I closed.

7. Sometimes when I want to drag clips on timeline on my mouse appear submenu for setting speed of clip like Velocity would be turned on but it's not. By accident I set clip speed to 250% but thankfully it doesn't speed up.

8. AI Sharpen is working so bad. It boost contrast so much that my clips are looking terrible. For me it's better to use standard Sharpen plugin than this.

9. AI smart masks on my 5 sec clip which was slow-down to 50% (from 50fps to 25fps) wanted to analyze that clip for 45minutes :D

10. I think that sometimes preview is a little bit too laggy than in V20. In V20 I haven't any issue with video preview even after color grading but here it likes to drop frames. It's not big deal for me but I wanted to let you know.

11. When I am rendering and I have checked "Show video in preview window", video is not showing. I have black screen and after rendering is completed I needed to wait about 15minutes before V23 finished it on V20 it was much faster.

If I see some other bugs I will let you know.

@Komaryt

When posting issues, it is best to say how you created them.

1. I am able to group and label tracks with no issues so far. I do not have the cursor moving while I do this. I would not think that this would be optimal to work while the cursor is moving. But I did try it with cursor moving and everything worked. No crash.

2. I haven't done that yet.

3. I don't have your footage. If you could supply a sample to the cloud that exhibits this behavior, that would help.

4. I use clips from a Mini 3 Pro all the time. Never a lag during playback. Again, what settings are you using? What is the setting for the recording clips?

5. I've canceled rendering and never a crash.

6. Not seeing a left over file from a previous project when using File>New.

7. I drag and drop all the time. Never seen Velocity appear. You have to be holding down more than one key to do this.

8. What are you using AI Sharpening on? Provide screenshots would help.

9. How are you applying Smart Mask. Before or after changing the speed of the clip.

10. Laggy preview vs VP20. Again, more info. What clip, any FX, etc.. You get the idea.

11. I have video showing all the time while rendering in the Preview. All the time.

Again, if you experience bugs, start a new thread with only one bug at a time. Not multiples. Then follow the information in this POST, especially "B" and "C".

As you can see, I'm not experiencing the issues you are. It might come down to the footage you and I are using.

@Komaryt Could you make a new post with these issues so we can look into them more closely? A couple other AMD users are reporting slowdowns but it isn't narrowed down.

The glitch is concerning and would be good to understand better, perhaps some kind of resource leak?

A number of people have noted crashes when cancelling a render.

Hello! These bugs which I found appear when I was working so it's hard to tell how I created them. I wanted to let developers know that this bugs are and maybe in future there is a chance to solve them. I am very happy Vegas user and I really appreciate how they are improving from year to year but I just wanted to let them know that these bugs are here.

You see - you don't have that kind of bugs, I have. Someone here is having many other bugs which I don't have. I am here not for argue and telling someone "I don't have that in my software" I just wanted to let know that there are some kind of bugs.

I can confirm this bug in all my ProRes 4k HDR source files.

 

In addition:

BM source shows upside down in HDR project.

Hi @MarkAnthony121 I had some testing time this morning, so I tried some of your sample clips. I have v23 and v22 running side by side. PC with 7900XTX GPU and 7950x CPU 96gb RAM (so it's fairly strong set up - used for work so it's worth it). Both v22 and v23 play individual clips at good/half preview setting fine without needing proxies. As soon as I try a cross fade or jump cuts, it starts to stutter. Seems very similar on v22 or v23. A preview render (shift B) allows playback as you'd expect.

I use 420 60fps HEVC shots from a Sony a7siii for most of my output, and they are better for playback - I haven't used proxies at all since getting this latest PC set up.

Any way you can use a 420 codec?

I used to do wedding films also - brings back lots of memories!

Yes weddings are always a fun time! But unfortunately no, there's no other way around it. The time to convert it to 420 is the same time I spend building proxies anyway. It's a shame in this day and age having to spend a day building proxies for relatively common footage to even play back on a modern NLE. And keep in mind you're playing those clips in probably the best case scenario. Small individual clips on the timeline can sometimes move smoothly, but once you start clicking around or adding larger clips for multiple layers and effects it goes to crap. And the only time switching the preview from best to good works is after building proxies. Even on draft, the clips won't play once they start stuttering.

In V23, as soon as I'm editing a 4K clip on my 1080p timeline, my GPU memory utilization jumps up to near-fully-used, and it holds it there even when playback is paused.

This is leaving no GPU memory for VFX plug-ins like NeatVideo to use in their optimization (in my case, Neat's "auto-optimization" reports "not enough dedicated GPU to use" so it resorts to CPU-only, much slower.

Is this intended behavior?
