Video Overlay Static

jason-m wrote on 10/18/2016, 1:17 PM

Hi everyone I'm new to the forums because I very much need some help, I've been having this problem for years now but it's just gotten too much to take. On an unlucky oaction when I overlap videos there is an almost static over the video.

Example: 

I'd like to emphasize that when the TV is out of frame and all you see is The Simpsons that distortion is meant to be on the video. But when the TV comes back and you start to get the colored glitch outside of the video that is what's not supposed to be there.

Which version of Vegas? What video card do you have? Is GPU acceleration turned on or off?

I use Vegas 13, I've had this problem through multiple capture cards, and I tried turning off GPU acceleration but it didn't fix anything.

Multiple *graphics cards, sorry I just woke up.

I would have guessed it was GPU acceleration too. Can you make a really small project that shows this problem, just one or two clips with the FX, and upload it somewhere with the media for us to test on our systems? Dropbox "public" folder or Google Drive etc..

A similar issue came up before in this post. I found it when I was looking for the codec to test the project.

I use Action! as well to record my screen but I've also had this problem with Fraps, Bandicam and a few other screen capturing programs over the years. 

It's a very strange problem because it won't happen all the time and it also will change randomly during my editing, it will get worse, get better, the colors will change. Sometimes when I render it the colors are diffrent, It boggled my mind for years.

Treading the same path as John here... I downloaded your project but the FICV format AVI files do need an extra codec, which presumably got installed for you with Action!

The other apps you mention, Bandicam and Fraps, are also notorious for causing problems in Vegas. You could try capturing your screen with the free OBS Studio, which makes files that Vegas is happy with. Or you could try transcoding your FICV footage to a Vegas-friendly format (probably AVC (H.264) in an MP4 container). Follow John's link, then follow the link in TreeTops' post for a discussion on exporting/transcoding.

I didn't have the codec to open your .avi files. I converted them in VideoReDo TV Suite to MPEG-2, which was the last template that I happened to use with VideoReDo. Here is the result:

I got the same result on two different machines with different video adapters.

Here's an OBS screen capture of how it was all done.
