Vegas Stabilization custom preset causes program to crash

Hi,

I've started with default Vega Stabilization media FX settings and changed then for my needs. After every trial stabilization run when I was not satisfied with the result I've clicked on button 'Clear Motion Data'. Once I've got the result I wanted I've cleared the '(Default)' preset name and changed it to 'My Preset' and clicked on the 'Save Preset'. I can recall my settings from the drop-down combo-box. So far so good. I'm adding next clip to the timeline and want to stabilize it with 'My Preset', so right click on the newly added clip, select Media FX, double click the Vegas Video Stabilization, select from drop-down combo-box 'My Preser' and finally click on button 'Analyze Motion'. Analysis process starts and completes, but the moment when the stabilization progress bar closes 'Problem Report' dialog opens with the following details:

Problem Description
   Application Name:    VEGAS Pro

This happens only when I load 'My Preset' settings in Vegas Video Stabilization. It does happen when I load any other preser for example 'Slight camera movement'.

As a workaround I start from default and change parameters every time when I want to stabilize the clip. This is a little bit cumbersome, so If you could fix the problem with saving presets you would make one happier customer😀.

Try the legacy stabiliser (better in my opinion). This can be activated in the shift options menu by changing the parameter to True.

Normally I use batch stabilisation with Vegasaur and Mercalli 4 or Vegas Stabilizer (default settings) but I tried to imitate this behaviour and saw the same with error message

That analyzing proces takes four times the duration of a default analysis.

I doubt if it is the intension of the plugin to set al kind of altered settings before anlyzing as a preset for use to do analysing.
When I make a preset for only default possibilities in that FX all went normal and after the analyzing proces a can set the other (not default) precisions and nothing happens and all goes normal with the same settings after analyzing as before.

Thanks for the tip on batch stabilization with Vegasour - I've purchased it, but still learning how to use this Swiss Army Knife in video editing.

I've also experimented more with Vegas Video Stabilization and discovered that selecting Add Motion Blur check-box will always cause program crash - the threshold setting is irrelevant - once you check add motion blur Vegas Pro will crush. So I've unchecked add motion blur in my stabilization settings and things start to look as expected.
