Video preview and render get messed up coloring and inverted

fando wrote on 7/27/2018, 11:31 PM

Whenever I add video to vegas 15 and even 13 there will be parts of the preview that are fine and then parts that get the colors messed up and inverted and blurry. I thought perhaps this is only in the preview and I edited the whole thing and it was still in the rendered video file. Its weird because when i play the clip before adding it to vegas in windows media player, its fine. Nothing wrong with it.

Here is a video of what I am talking about:

I have searched far and wide for fixes to this, however can't find anyone who has dealt with this specific problem, just other render problems. Ive tried many of those fixes anyways and they don't help.

Ah, here we go again, and again, and again... Captured gameplay video. Seems to make up the majority of the problem posts these days.

Anyway, check out the FAQ about capture settings for OBS. Often these capture programs seem to create files that don't play nicely with Vegas even though they may play back OK on WMP. Do a forum search for whatever software you used to do the capture.

Thanks, will do that.

Weird because I have recorded with OBS for ages now and used Vegas and never had a problem.

I will do that though. Thanks

Welcome. If that doesn't lead to a solution / answer, then post all your details:

To me your youtube video looks like an incompatible (decoding error ) or corrupt file, but it is certainly possible that it is something else. Given that you have been "doing this for ages" you should have files that work / don't work so you can troubleshoot fairly easily.

It's a vegas fault. it happens with hardware encoded OBS files. If you don't use hardware encode there is no problem. This also happened to me & I think I solved it via disabling the hardware decoder option in vegas.

You can see if it works https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/avc-xavc-s-issues-in-vp15-try-disabling-so4compoundplug-dll--108345/

The OP mentioned the problem occurs in both Vegas 15 AND 13, so both the new so4compoundplug.dll and the older decoder have been tested. Let's walk before we run, ya?

Good point, but it's a fast & simple thing he can try if he hasn't already. The other option if he has the cpu resources is to turn off hardware encode in OBS & use software encode. The old wisdom though is you want a cpu with at least 4 physical cores (8 logical) if playing cpu intensive games

Changing the settings in OBS seemed to fix the problem. Sucks cuz il have to rerecord things.
