No QSV with i9-10900X I think, which is too bad as it has stability benefits over NVDEC in Vegas. You can try setting hardware decode to off if your CPU can handle decoding without the GPU. Not a solution but perhaps a workaround until something changes in Vegas. No QSV with i9-10900X I think, which is too bad as it has stability benefits over NVDEC in Vegas.

Where can I find "hardware decode" and I'll give it a try. Thanks

@Roger Bansemer Please gather detailed information about your issue and post with the instructions in this link: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/persistent-lockups-of-vegas-pro-while-shuffling-clips--137674/#ca865403 I keep a running log of such issues... https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/my-running-log-of-vegas-pro-service-interruptions--137804/ ... but for the last few weeks I've been working on very old projects with all GPU functions turned off. My life has been pure bliss. Hi John, I really don't know what to report that I haven't already. V20 simply crashes quite a few times every hour I use it.

I see you are using NVDEC as your decoder in file I/O under Preferences... set that to QSV or Off. Any difference? Don't forget to reboot VEGAS after changing that setting. Everything is unchecked and has been but doesn't seem to be a fix.

Well... the new update 326 sure didn't fix any of the "not responding" crashes for me. Started a simple new project yesterday with only a few tracks and the "not responding" thing is having a field day every few minutes.

VEGAS Pro 20 Build 326 General Thread
Hello everyone, The VEGAS Team is excited to announce the release of our second update for VEGAS Pro 20, build 326. Please use this thread to post general comments on this update. For details on build 326, please read this post in the News forum. Thank you, The VEGAS Creative Software Team I've found the Smart Mask (beta) in the Media Generator section but if I drag it to an event on the timeline I just get a message saying "Model not found". Is there a tutorial about what this plugin is all about somewhere? I really have no idea what it's suppose to do. Even though I've used vegas for more than a decade, I think sometimes the Vegas developers knowing everything about the program so very well forget that there are those of us out here that need some instructions with new features.Thanks

Broadcast level issue
I have no idea. This entire 8 bit thing still baffles me. I do know that at least for what I do I can edit and render in 8 bit full with V20 and then if I bring the rendered file over to Vegas 17 which doesn't have the 8 bit full but only legacy, it still reads OK which means I'm good to send the file for TV broadcast.

Thanks John, I had thought of doing the track motion but after having so very many tracks on the project I sort of didn't want to have another dedicated track just for that one clip. Your comment about the png file did trigger my resolve and that's what I did. Now I just have one PNG file which I can add to an existing track. Thanks John.

@Roger Bansemer With a background screenshot from my local ABC station, I inserted your file into a track above the main track. using only Track Motion, I resized and positioned the PBS provided logo over the ABC logo in about the same location. If I had to do this often, I'd just position the logo in a transparent PNG in Photoshop at the broadcast pixel dimensions and be done with it.

There's a simple answer. Send me the TIF. I'll scale it for you and 'splane it to you. Thanks very much. That's very kind of you. The forum won't let me upload the tif file but I converted it to a bitmap. It's a strange kind of file because although the extension said tif when I put it in photoshop it didn't have many save as options.

Broadcast level issue
@Roger Bansemer In Vegas Pro 18 and later, set Pixel Format to Legacy 8 bit (video levels) and Vegas Pro become a neutral arbiter. Hi John. Thanks for keeping up with the postings on this. I'm barely getting a grasp on this. I took a break from producing shows for PBS since the pandemic but now I'm at it again and I didn't have to worry about this since I had been using Vegas17.Now I have to deliver 13 episodes to PBS and used V20 using full 89 bit so you can see concern. The good news is that if I drop my finished programs rendered in full 8 bit and then drop them into V17 the scopes are still correct. So unless I learn something new, I think I'm good to go. Am I right in this? Sure appreciate your help.Roger

Motion Tracking jitters
@Roger Bansemer To avoid any confusion, I suggest you change the heading for your post to 'Motion Tracking', which is different to 'Track Motion'. Having said that, it doesn't immediately look as if you're doing anything wrong. I suggest you first disable GPU processing in Options/Preferences/Video and give it another try. If you're on NVIDIA, I've had weird glitching effects with GPU set to on. Another suggestion. Don't close the motion tracking dialog down until after you've applied the tracking to the media event. I've give the GPU a try although I hate having to switch back and forth with a setting like that which benefits other processes of editing.

Motion Tracking jitters
Hi Roger, I tried it on your (screen recorded) clip from the first frame and just tracked forward. I made the mask a little larger too. Yes, perfect... that's how it's suppose to be. Can't figure out what is going on with mine. I've done it at least a dozen times and get poor results. I know the area I've selected is not too small. Larger areas often go crazy with one of the 4 points selected stretching way out.

Stretching Event Length
I have found that if I highlight and drag an area (blue area) to the timeline that the text will fill that area. Otherwise by default the text will just fill a 5 second area.

I'll give that a try. Never knew that even existed and at a brief glance, I'm not sure what use it would be to me anyway.

@Roger Bansemer Give this a try (no promises though) ... In Vegas Hub, turn off the Create Project Collection slider switch: What you have described has also happened to me, and turning off the Collection option stopped the lagging and normal transmission resumed. It would be preferable IMO if the switch was set to off as a default.

I've been working on a project for several days with V20 and it's been quite good. Only 4 or 5 "not responding" messages during the entire day. Then yesterday I continued on the same project and it lagged horribly, not responding every couple of minutes and so on to where I just quit. Today I've been having pretty good luck again. It seems that V20 is like a bad child that has tantrums for no reason. No reboot or anything can help. It has a mind of its own.

Getting audio from Vegas to RX9
Yes. Easy. In Vegas Pro go to Options/Preference/Audio (tab) and link 'Preferred Audio Editor' to RX9's .exe file in C;\Program Files. Then, on VP's timeline, R click on an audio event and in the context window that opens click on 'Open in Audio Editor' or the Copy option which will create a copy of the audio event on VP's timeline thus keeping the original audio intact. That was easy. Thanks so very much. Don't know what I'd do without everyone in the forum answering questions.

Closed Captioning gone
I'll be darned. Guess this is another bug in V20..... I put the file on V19 and the captions appear.Thanks for the suggestion. When on earth are they going to fix this version?

Auto Tracking
I do, yes as Vegas now has the hooks to connect to AI engines. I just don't think it's at the top of the priority list (and rightly so) as there are more basic playback and performance issue to attend to. That's for sure. I started a new project today using Vegas17 and worked on it almost all day with not one crash or "not responding" I saved it for V17 and then moved to V20 and saved it there as a new project and almost immediately it lagged and was dealing with the "not responding" issue again. Only reason I'm using V20 is because of a few new features for color correcting, etc.

Masking and pan crop
Did you select the Pan/Crop layer on the timeline at the bottom of the pop up screen? Yes. But after that is checked and then unchecked it does not revert to the original pan/crop so the clip can be tilted, etc.

Set your Dynamic RAM Preview max back to default if you use that option a lot.When you don't use Shift+B you can set it to 0 and you will see no or less your "not responding" anymore. I'm watching a Vegas tutorial on youtube by "scrapyard films" and he says to set dynamic range as high as possible and your advice is the opposite. I'm confused His video states this at about 1:00
