Vegas v14, GeForce GTX 580, GPU processing, and mp4 render fail
FWIW, I've tried support at FBmn a few times lately for GPU related problems, got no reply---site seems kinda inactive since the "magic year" of 2016

Vegas 15 audio row header
It was already a bit dicey in Vegas 14, but at least it was visible. Unless your cursor hovered over it, then it changed to Esperanto:

360 degree video support & reorientation
The HEVC file (original off the Gear 360 camera) opens in Vegas 14 with audio. The stitched file (exported from ActionDirector, Samsung's editing tool) opens in Vegas 14 but without audio. So the video is OK in the stitched file, but the audio won't play. The only difference that I can see is: ORIGINAL: English, 48.0 kHz, 2 channels, AAC (LC) STITCHED: English, 128 kb/s, 48.0 kHz, 2 channels, AAC (LC) Guess the devil is in the details. Until I can find a better solution I'm forced to use the audio from the original HEVC movie.

360 degree video support & reorientation
Thanks RedRob, that works nicely! My second issue is a bit more granular---I'm using ActionDirector to stitch together a Samsung Gear 360's movie. The Gear's HEVC movie is saved out as an MP4, which plays nicely in Premiere and VLC. But the audio in the stitched MP4 won't play in Vegas (when the movie is imported, the audio track doesn't even show up, only the video). Here's the MediaInfo on the original and the stitched: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64768954/360test.JPG ActionDirector gives no settings. Fortunately I can get the audio from the original HEVC movie, but I'm wondering what makes the audio fail in Vegas??

Nudging this---can anyone help me avoid using Premiere to offset a 360° movie? I'd like to move the "center" of a movie like this:

Render with alpha channel ?
If Quicktime is an option, Avid DNxHD will render with alpha channel: www.avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Download/en423319 Also, MagicYUV does this with Quicktime as well. (It does alpha channel for AVI but I don't think Vegas works properly with it.) www.magicyuv.com/index.php/download

Vegas 14 crashes if Vegas 13 runs?
Thanks for the responses! Yes, I too have always been able to run multiple Vegas instances: that's why this concerned me (no more cut & paste between projects). I start to render a movie, then open another instance of Vegas (so I could work in the background) and the first instance would hang. Just opening an empty Vegas timeline would do it, time and again. Of course, this morning I can't reproduce the problem, even with multiple Vegas 14's running. I'll keep watching for it, however. Usually, after running Vegas for a while my computer ends up in a "weakened" state (i.e. helper programs like Direct Folders stop working, perhaps an issue with RAM? Reboots fix it). FWIW, my specs: Windows Pro 10.0.14393 Build 14393 x6416.0 GB (Physical RAM) Intel i7-2700K CPU @ 3.50GHz, 3501 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450(NVIDIA Driver 21.21.13.7290)

Please Help - I Can't Import Anything (Video, Still Image, Audio File)
Sorastro, is the File: Import method not working? The reason I ask is that, after a Windows 10 update, on one of my PCs I can no longer drag & drop certain types of media files into a Vegas timeline (even Vegas 13), but I can use File: Import to get them in there. My other PC works normally... I'm baffled as to why: perhaps something to do with Windows 10 permissions? I tried this: I right clicked on a media file (jpg), told Windows that I wanted Vegas to be the app associated with jpg's, but when it tried to open it in Vegas I got an error message that said that only installed programs could open the file. I uninstalled & reinstalled Vegas, no change...

iZotope RX Plug getting SONY error?
Sorry, can't repro---I'm using RX4 in trial of Vegas 14, works fine thus far. You mentioned "script": you're not somehow using a script that refers to Sony?

Hitfilm Support in Vegas
As you probably know, you can't directly connect with Hitfilm via Vegas 14 as in the past. However, with my existing Hitfilm 2 Ultimate, all these FX are working in Vegas 14. Perhaps you should download a trial of Vegas 14 and see what you get?

Vegas pro 13, weird rectangle hole in media in every project
Vern D---just a shot in the dark, you've probably tried everything by now. I had weird preview problems with NVIDIA cards (different than yours, I had total scrambled pixelation). My workaround was to Alt-Shift-4 (fullscreen preview) and that would display properly. In my case, I have two very similar setups (with identical NVIDIA cards & drivers & OS etc) and one worked and the other didn't. Eventually a Vegas 13 update or something(!) cleared it up. Hope you get satisfaction...

pleural eyes
Tried it quickly here, and others have noted this. I'm using Vegas 14 & PE3 (which works inside Vegas 13 but not 14). Open PluralEyes, add the media that you want to synch, synch it, export Premiere Pro ("Final Cut Pro XML for Premiere", whatever that means), open Vegas 14, File:Import:Final Cut Pro 7/DaVinci Resolve (*.xml). Admittedly it's a pain, but this seems to work.

ccliffy, that's good to hear---I tried Hitfilm 2 this morning and, although it's peppy, it can't despill the way that Boris does. I'm still wondering if there's any improvement in the Boris 10 over 8... Did you try adding the Spill Removel effect? Yow! Thanks, that did it, what an improvement! I read your previous post more carefully---Color Difference Key with Light Wrap & Spill Removal looks great! Even better than the Chromakey I was using! The only plus for Boris is that it's a plugin within Vegas. I can import Hitfilm 2 projects directly into Vegas 13, but this is no longer possible in Vegas 14.

Thanks, I also appreciate lightwrap, it's worth the wait IMHO. I have Hitfilm 2, I'll revisit that, too---although since I already have Boris, the upgrade cost to v10 is minimal, I'm just wondering if there's any reason to do it. Anyone using it in Vegas 14? I'm also happy to see that Beauty Box works in v14 as well...

I use Boris Continuum Key and Blend Unit (v9) in Vegas 13 but it doesn't show up in 14. Anybody having success with it? [edit] Whoops, my mistake, it was Boris v8 and now shows up & works in Vegas 14. Opening my current project into Vegas 14 & it definitely played snappier---multiple PNG overlays over nested chromakeyed material---than in v13. That having been said, anyone see any advantage to upgrading to Boris Key & Blend Unit v10?

UT or not UT
musicvid10, thanks for taking the time to follow up, I really appreciate it! You're right about applying the a levels filter, sRGB to cRGB corrects the signal. I think the answer is in what you said about Vegas displaying in native RGB color space without YUV Luma correction. But I'm still confused: here's an m4v that was rendered from the DV AVI bars movie, with the same Handbrake settings: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64768954/DV_Bars_via_Handbrake.mp4 Its levels are correct, without filtering. And I see this whenever Handbrake ingests a DV AVI vs any flavor of "uncompressed" AVI. It's also true if I export mp4s from Vegas Will web players (like YouTube or JWPlayer) make this correction on the fly? This all started for me because I noticed that these mp4s seemed washed out.

UT or not UT
John, I think your analysis is spot on. I was running UT v14.2.1, so I upgraded to 15.3.0, but same problem occurs. Here are my test files. My original UT export from a Vegas DV timeline: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64768954/DV_Bars_from_Vegas_Timeline_UT.avi and the resulting mp4 via Handbrake: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64768954/UT_Bars_via_Handbrake.mp4 Failing all this, is there any better way to create a high quality master for projects like these, one that Handbrake will understand better? (Again, even uncompressed AVI files don't work properly.) Thanks in advance! For completists, here's the DV render from Vegas: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64768954/DV_Bars_from_Vegas_Timeline_DV.avi Its resulting Handbraked mp4 looks fine...

UT or not UT
DV generation loss is OK by me, but it's really how a DV generation degrades font that is my concern (and really, anything that has to be re-rendered off the timeline, like a dissolve or super). Here's an example of how font degrades, both rendered from the same timeline: https://www.dropbox.com/s/38h17ewns1fnbnn/UT%20vs%20DV.jpg?dl=0 Note the chunks that are missing from the DV render, and the color dropouts. And this looks worse when playing, the edges of things are a bit blocky, blurry, and squirmy. This definitely comes through in the final compressed movie (be it m2v or mp4). That's why I liked using a higher res codec like UT to master from. And now that we upload full resolution clips to YouTube, it would be great to maintain as much clarity as possible. Try this: new Vegas project set to DV, 5 seconds of color bars. Render once to UT AVI (RGB VCM) and again to DV AVI. Now render those clips through Handbrake to mp4 and look at the difference in luma levels. That's my problem...
