Video not playing after PC is idle for half an hour.

Sir, I am using Vegas Pro 17. It is working well. Only one difficulty.

(1) I open a project, work for some time, then in the middle of the work, I leave the PC with project open, then after coming back and touching the PC, the project is open as it was left but it is not playing the project when I click play button in the project. Then I had to close the project and open again then it works fine. What could be the reason sir.

(2) I am not able to write our Telugu fonts in Vegas Pro 17. Did Vegas Pro included such fonts in their subsequent versions or not yet?

You could try unchecking the Close media files and sound files when not the active application.

@seetharamaiah-velicheti

Check you power settings one more time...

I have had a similar thing for several versions of Vegas including 20, and on two different PCs. After a break during which the PC has had a little sleep, when I wake it up is as I left it but no video plays when I press play, althought the sound does. All I have to do is open Options/Preferences and say OK. No need to actually change anything but doing that seems to re-initalise something then all is well.

I have the same issue with VP 19 and 20. My hard drives don't spin down (have them set to 5 hours) and the computer doesn't go to sleep though I have fewer wake timers set than in the picture. I'll see if that does anything. Just yesterday after 20 min or so 19.550 stopped responding and then crashed the GPU on exit.

Paul, that's interesting on options/preferences. Will try that if I'm able to get into it.

@RogerS Could you download this file https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/4tvhhRpMQ92rydHOD4UxGQ.HhQTmlsMkFtqLDkjnLGhXS

Set your timeline to 4K50 , conform this 25P media to 50P, when you play back, do you get this huge amount of GPU processing?

I measured the usage in watts to confirm what I"m seeing is real, Vegas is using 100watts of GPU power to play this file at 2x speed. I would like to think this isn't a Vegas bug, but some windows/Gpu driver problem, when you mentioned your GPU drivers crashing and presumably restarting I thought we could have the same problem, as that happened yesterday

Does this seem normal for Vegas, are you also experiencing this with your 2080super?

Note: It's related to GPU decoding, so you have to have GPU decode turned on for HEVC to see this GPU activity .

To start with here's my laptop with a UHD 50p project. 19.550. I added at project framerate.

Legacy HEVC

Non legacy HEVC

It stutters a bit at the start but then settles in at 50p with non-legacy. Legacy struggles more and hits limits of the Intel decoder it seems.

Oddly the legacy HEVC checkbox wasn't working consistently. I'd uncheck and restart but it was still checked yet the performance looked more like non-legacy than legacy.

Here's the second machine (Intel i5 13th gen with iGPU)

Legacy

Non legacy HEVC

In case any of these graphs are useful to you. (non-legacy HEVC)

@RogerS Thanks for having a look into this. Looks like I have a windows problem, which luckily you don't seem to (well not my problem). GPU drivers crashing is an unusual thing, but many Vegas users have made that claim now with VP19/20.

I had a look at processes , 'Desktop Windows Manager' (dwm.exe) is responsible for the huge amount of GPU processing, and triggered by playing the file at 2x speed on Vegas timeline. GPU processing looks much more normal when playing it at 25P. Unusual, I"ll start with DDU removal of drivers and make my own Post if I can't get to the bottom of this.
