Video color changes when applying some plugins in VP 17

Can you isolate which ones it is? It may help to single out the issue causing them.

Leme guess: it's the GPU accelerated ones? 🙂

I disabled the GPU and still have the same problem.

Similar with NB ColorFast here. It's a luma shift (offset) of about 2 or 3 R'G'B' values.

It does not happen with my DFT filter collection where I have the GPU support disabled (inside the plug-in, not in Vegas Pro).

Edit:
I just saw exactly same happens with ColorFast in VP16 and VP15. So this must be something different.

I have the same problem with Transitions and Plugins.
I have activated/deactivated the Acceleration GPU and everything is just as bad...
It doesn't happen to me with Vegas Pro V16
It is impossible to edit with this problem(!)...

No issue here so far, but that does not mean that there is no issue. I tried a few newblue colorfast (and also colorfast2), some boris and sapphire. No color shift (yet) on my PC...

had some spookey preview corruption with 4K xavcs clips on a 1080 timeline with some track fx applied, that looked awefully like a memory overrun to the gpu accelerated plugins. had to exit and restart. unresolved. details tomorrow

This problem does not occurs on all plugins. It happens randomly when applying some plugins like Twixtor and Boris FX Sapphire for example. It seems to be something that affects some plugins and others not.

Picture demonstration

Screen record

I am getting the same thing when applying the most recent version of Neat Video 5 to a clip, however I found if you also drop in the Boris Continuum Complete Color Balance filter with the Neat one the color goes back to normal--no need to adjust any settings it just jumps back to normal. I need to do a test render to see if the color stays correct over a long clip when using this workaround.

Update: This fixes the color in the preview monitor but it will not render-When using the RTX 2080ti GPU to render it says stream not found and when I switch it to the MainConcept codec it starts to render but then seems to go into a memory overrun and Neat video crashes

Using ColorFast2, Sharpen and Skin Touch Up lead to video preview corruption. The corruption persisted in the actual clip, so when disabling the FX, the original corrupted clips would still play back.

NewBlueFX [V6 180730] are nvidia GPU enabled. I saw default Preferences>File IO>HardwareDecoder was intel QSV. I have disabled my iGPU. Changed default to nVidia, which has 'somewhat' improved the situation (less crash prone) due to better performance.

But not sure what's causing this? Load= CPU~60%, GPU~29, 6.6GB =~50% RAM.

Also changed the chain of FX to GPU users first, CPU after.

Shall try nVidia creator drivers next

@AVsupport - Wow! - That IS severe. I'm just checking CF2. Prevew has "some" but then I rendered and it appears calmed down.

AVsupport wrote on 8/14/2019, 10:55 PM

whilst re-installing NewBlue FX didn't seem to help, changing to nVidia Creator drivers certainly improved the situation. Recommendable @Grazie

/add: whilst the preview looks better, the rendered output file remains corrupt [using Magix HEVC / nVenc].

/add: this might be related to the Dynamic RAM memory leak; FIX see Nick hopes post here:

I have spent many hours making adjustments in Vegas Pro 17 to try to get this issue fixed.
Everything is just as bad! This does not work !!
IMPOSSIBLE to edit in these circumstances!

If with the same PC and the same settings, with Vegas Pro 16, EVERYTHING worked fine, the conclusion seems clear: the error is in the new Vegas Pro 17

Thank you, pierre-k, for your collaboration!
I had already tried your suggestion and... nothing: everything is still just as bad.

I guess we will have to wait for an update to solve these problems (which did not exist in VP-16)...😟

Well they updated Boris Sapphire yesterday so maybe that will fix some of the issues for those of you who use it

Mmmm... everything is the same for me (bad...) 😒
I think the problem is not the plugins, the problem is in the Program (VP-17).

The only way to work around it for me is... If I add a BORIS FX ( Continuum Complete 2019 - 12.5.0 ) and the colour changed then I also add the BCC Colour Balance FX to the same Media and without adjusting any of the sliders it corrects the colour.

If I then add another BCC FX ( say BCC MOCHA ) and the colours change I just Un-Tick the BCC Colour Balance to correct it.

I have tried the new BCC Continuum 2019 12.5.1 ( Trial ) but it is the same with that.

So at the moment it is workable for me... as a quick Tick or Un-Tick only takes a few seconds..

I guess it will get sorted soon..

Thanks for the feedback. Always welcome for reports of if things work or not…. Nice one..

Sr_Garcia wrote on 8/19/2019, 2:31 AM

This (temporary) solution is no longer effective if any transition is incorporated...

During the transition the error appears in the color. 😕

For me, it is IMPOSSIBLE to edit with VP17 currently.

harry-worth wrote on 8/19/2019, 2:41 AM

I just add the BCC Colour Balance to the next bit of media after the transition. So each media had BCC Colour Balance added and then either Ticked or Un-ticked to correct the colour on that particular bit of media.. I know it is not the actual solution but it is working for me until a correct Bug is sorted

This is the problem of the cracked version. Install the officiall version and your problem will be solved.
