So, I've been attempting to render my video now at 4K 60FPS. The video completely renders, but there is a strange visual glitch when all visual elements besides the text and main background fade in where they appear to be blinking in and out of view before going really cursed looking for a moment (see the screenshots), before finally settling and being fine for the rest of the video.
At points when these elements fade out, there are no problems. When they fade back in, no problems. When new elements are introduced and fade in, there are still no problems. It's just the first time they show up in the video.
How is how it looks before it settles, after the blinking:
How it looks for a few seconds before it settles
Here is how it should look:

Here are my render settings:

Here is where it happens on the timeline:
Where it happens
Now, none of this happens on the video preview and it doesn't affect me when rendering at 720p or 1080p, just 4K.
I've done very similar to this countless times but this one is breaking for some reason.
I've already tried a few quick fixes from Google like turning down that max memory setting to 0mb and trying to render at different resolutions. The 0mb fix took about 5 hours and still had the glitch, and as I've already said, lower resolutions work fine.
The media in question is quite big, the music score you see is a massive extremely long PNG, but to be clear, it is actually significantly shorter than the length I usually work with. It is 600DPI which is also what I usually work with. Usually takes an age to render but it works fine.
What is confusing me is why it looks fine on the render preview but has the issue when I watch the final export.
Also, some extra info: In terms of FX, I am using a glow on the bright green arrows as per the screen shot, this is not animated. I am also using the invert effect on the score as it is black by default.
So I recently started on Vegas Pro and I am trying to figure out how to make different types of constant shakes like for calm shakes, yelling shakes, laughing shakes, exciting shakes, and even other types of shakes for my Discord videos. But whenever I am looking at the dissolve shake effect panel, it doesn't shake at all whenever I adjust the amplitude, frequency, or seed of the shake at all.
I am just trying to figure out if I am suppose to animate the amplitude, frequency, or the seed of the dissolve shake. And I am also trying to figure out how to make it constant from beginning to end of each subtitle, because with the normal shake it doesn't shake until after a few seconds of the subtitle being there and I am trying to make the shakes a constant shake from beginning to end of anything I add it to.
If anyone can help me out then I would really appreciate it, trying to get this video out before school time starts back up 😭😭
1.What version is my Vegas Pro? Vegas Pro 22.0
2.What version of windows I am on? Windows 11
3.What is the plugin? the Sapphire Plugin
4.Have I googled about this issue? Yes I have been googling, it is all about a intro shake and not about a constant shake with the dissolve shake video fx.
I'm experiencing a strange Track Groups bug in VEGAS Pro 23.
If I create a track group near the bottom of the timeline, then later select two tracks above it and choose "Group Selected Tracks", VEGAS doesn't create a separate group. Instead, it adds every track between the new selection and the existing lower group into that same group. However, if the first group is at the top of the track list, I can create additional groups below it without any issues. Is this a known bug or an intentional behavior?
What version of Vegas Pro are you using?
VEGAS Pro 23.0 Build 302
What version of Windows are you using?
Windows 11
Is this a pirated copy of Vegas Pro or are you using pirated plugins?
No.
What exact graphics card do you have in your PC?
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060
(above)
Provide a description of how it's expected to be working:
Selecting tracks and choosing "Group Selected Tracks" should always create a new, independent track group containing only the selected tracks, regardless of whether other track groups exist above or below them.
Have you Google searched to solve this issue?
Yes. I've searched for Track Group bugs, grouping issues, and related discussions, but I've found nothing
I've started having an issue where my Vegas projects have a lowered playback rate despite being set to 1x speed which is the default, in both heavily edited videos and even in quick simple ones. It's driving me crazy and the only thing I can think might be affecting it is that I am using Voicemeeter Potato as a virtual output device (VAOI3 for all programs) but idk how that should affect this but I am an audio noob tbh. I got Voicemeeter so I could stream my spotify audio to my friends in call lol
I use a japanese TTS character frequently, so the video shows: raw capture of the TTS program output -> how the screen recording plays in Vegas with the lowered pitch -> the same screen capture rendered out with no editing from VEGAS (Internet HD 50fps if that matters, my default setting). It's making syncing things a bit difficult!
Shouldn't be a memory issue as I have about 130GB left on my 1TB storage drive where Vegas predominantly read/writes to and 22GB on my 250GB C:/ Drive. Have tried to google the issue but all that is coming up is how to change the pitch using effects which isn't what I need.
2.What version of Windows are you using? Windows 10
3.Is this a pirated copy of Vegas Pro or are you using pirated plugins? No.
4.What exact graphics card do you have in your PC? NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090
5.Provide a detailed description of the problem: VEGAS CPU rendering works normally, but GPU rendering fails with error 0x80660008. Event Viewer shows vegas220.exe crashing in ntdll.dll with exception 0xc0000374. Elgato 4K Capture Utility also cannot properly use the GPU. OBS Studio successfully records using NVIDIA NVENC H.264, so the GPU and NVENC appear to be working.
6.Provide a description of how it's expected to be working: VEGAS should render using the RTX 3090 GPU without errors, just as it did on this same computer until earlier this year. Elgato 4K Capture Utility should also be able to use the GPU normally.
7.Have you Google searched to solve this issue? Yes. I've spent weeks troubleshooting. I've updated the motherboard BIOS (F12), reinstalled motherboard drivers, reinstalled Gigabyte Control Center, updated NVIDIA drivers, confirmed Windows detects the RTX 3090 correctly, verified Windows Graphics settings are set to High Performance for VEGAS, and confirmed OBS can successfully use NVENC. I hope someone can help, I can't figure this out for the life of me.
I was having trouble with the GPU acceleration rendering "Error 0x80660008". I'm currently on Vegas 17 Pro, and it seems like this issue isn't gonna get fixed. I found a workaround with this plugin and made a video about it. You don't need to roll back drivers or upgrade if you're not ready yet. I hope this helps, y'all! lmk if you have any questions.
It's been quite a while I'm getting this bug, sometimes on my edit, some waveforms (not all) shifts when I'm unzooming the timeline, desync-ing the audio from the cursor. Someone know how to get rid of that? It's getting me really mad...

Support forum of Boris FX already got in touch, still no answer
"1." I co-proced this film with Magix before they were sold as a way to advertise Vegas to independent filmmakers online showing them they can make a professional looking film that was 100% edited, color graded, vfx, sound editing etc, using Vegas. It was supposed to be a joint post that they would advertise all over their website and things like that but those things never came to fruition after they were sold. Still decided to post it tho since a lot of work went into it. Still grateful for them tl give me the opportunity anyways. This is the film if you guys wanna check it out.
Trying to work on collaborating with Boris or short films too but shorter ones. I feel like showing real life examples of people using their products in their artwork and Boris supporting them could be great marketing along with the tutorials they already post. So hopefully that works out.
legacy fx plugins windows by Sony are cropping at high DPI. i need fix without changing DPI and resolution, without blur vegas pro and keep scale of elements in windows 125%
so personally I prefer Vegas Pro. It is really faster in some ways. If you know what you are doing, you are basically faster in Vegas. I tried to do the same project in Premiere Pro and while I appreciate the comprehensive options, the learning curve is simply more difficult and some of the video settings are too cumbersome. But that doesn't mean it is a bad program. We can talk about Adobe's pricing policy next time.
What are your experiences?
I use Vegas Pro 21 (legal) and I don't have the slightest problem with it.
1.I got vegas 2026 and i realised it's now subscription based I don't have my computer on me so i can't see if it's subscription i based it from what i remember
Vegas Pro 15.0 but have tried running a trial of the newest Boris Vegas and encountered the same issue
Running Windows 10 Home
Paid version of vegas
RX 580 but it should not affect as I have been editing on this software for years
Insta360 x5 camera has a mode to shoot video in flat mp4 format. However I am unable to open up those files in Vegas. They open without issue on Adobe Premier and DaVinci Resolve so I assume there is something in the encoding that rejects the files. Current workaround is to reconvert using online tools or handbrake but this is very tedious for large amount of files. Looking to see if there is any way to work around the problem
I should be able to drag and drop the files from file explorer into vegas to start editing them
7.I don't think I've seen anyone else asking about this issue
1.I reinstalled VEGAS 21 months ago, and I've consistently had this issue where I can't use the default plugins. Does anyone know how to fix this? The default VEGAS plugins just disappeared a few months ago, and I'm desperate to get them back. I even tried reinstalling an older version of VEGAS Pro (version 18), but they still aren't showing up. Does anyone have a solution?
"1". Sony Vegas 14
"2". Windows 11
"3". Pirated copy no plugins
"4". GeForce RTX 3050
"5". Hi i need help with sony vegas 14, i have a really big save file (like 20 hours, don't ask) of a video im making in the last few months, i had an old pc back then where i edited my video, today when i got my new PC i reinstalled my pirated sony vegas 14 and then with an external drive i transferred my video files and save files, i opened my big save file and then it crashed with the screenshot i sent, it crashes only at 18%, the strange thing is that the smaller save files open with no problem.
"6". It's supposed to open the file and not crash at 18% of the opening
"7. Yes, and it didn't work, and tutorial on Youtube told me to change in the preferences settings the Internal settings, it told me to change the so4 setting to False, but when i searched it i didn't find it in the Internal settings. By the way previously i changed the Dynamic Ram Prewiew to match a third of the max possible and then i set to false in the Internal settings the OpenCl option
In the new VEGAS PRO 2026 version, each video has a huge file name. Because of this, I can't see any fades or transitions. Is there a way to restore the old look?
For some reason, I couldn't create a post without this:
You must have "1.", "2.", "3.", "4.", "5.", "6.", or "7." somewhere in your post body.
Bring back the render window from version 22. The new version has very few settings and codec options. I was especially disappointed by the lack of quicktime, which I used to create templates with an alpha channel. I don't need Process, which weighs a ton; I need a .mov in "animation" mode. 7.
I followed the instructions after clicking free trial on the website and downloaded Boris FX Hub and selected Vegas Pro package. Installed ok and connected account ok, but won't launch. I see maybe 200ms of the loading startup UI, before it crashes with message "Vegas stopped working"
Should just start no?
I have read a bunch of reddit threads and seen some youtube videos. Not much info on specifically 26, but i tried all the fixes i could find for vegas pro 23+
I have tried clearing the program cache. Some graphics setting in windows. Running compatability mode. Closing other programs. Some bogus fire wall rule + disconnect internet during startup. Manually install visual c++ all in one. Installed c++ v14 x64 and x86.
Seems like it might be a bit more difficult to get cranky software to run using a trial licence, but im not spending 220€ before i can verify it works, which isn't looking too hot.
Also, what are the options if i were to try some older version that is more stable? Are they still on sale, and are there trial versions of those i can verify functionality with?
Considering that the community has a closed structure and is not very accessible, gathering this many members is a remarkable achievement.
This was possible because VEGAS was more intuitive and faster than almost any other editing software.
For many people who were interested in video editing, VEGAS was once a program they tried at least once.

Part 2. VEGAS Problems: Subtitle/Text Features
The most urgent issue is the subtitle/text feature.
VEGAS is the fastest software for cutting and trimming, but its subtitle/text features have been the worst.
I believe the subtitle/text system is one of the main reasons why everyone, from simple YouTube creators to professionals, eventually left VEGAS.
Rather than continuing to rely on the existing subtitle/text tools, I think it would be better to create a completely new subtitle/text feature.
Both (Legacy) Text and ProType Titler have inefficient workflow structures.
To adjust formatting, color, position, outline, and other settings, users have to move between different tabs every time.
This requires more clicks, and when repeated hundreds of times, it greatly increases production time.
It would be ideal if all subtitle/text editing work could be completed within one or two tabs.
Text: This section would handle formatting. It would allow users to adjust the message, font, font size, alignment, and related settings.
Style: This section would handle the visual appearance of the subtitle/text, such as color, background, shadow, and other styling options.
Position: This section would handle the position and size of the subtitle/text.
It is also necessary to make it easier to manage multiple fonts.
The font UI in ProType Titler is terrible.
If you have dozens or hundreds of fonts installed, some fonts are skipped when scrolling through the list with the mouse wheel.
When I contacted MAGIX, I was told that ProType Titler would no longer be updated, which was very disappointing.
If possible, I think the best solution would be to improve it in a similar way to Adobe software.
A favorites feature is absolutely necessary.
If possible, I hope the new subtitle/text feature can manage text content and style separately.
This would make it much faster to style subtitles.
It would also make it easier to change the subtitle design during post-production.
There is also an issue that occurs in Korea and some other East Asian countries: text input does not work properly.
Korean characters are built from consonants, vowels, and final consonants, but in VEGAS, they are entered separately instead of being combined correctly.
Correct input: 안녕하세요
Problem in VEGAS: 아ㄴㄴㅕㅇ하세요
Although Korean input works properly in ProType Titler,
ProType Titler has a difficult font selection UI, and I was told that support for it has ended.
Legacy Text does not handle Korean input properly.
I believe the reason more than 200,000 Korean users left VEGAS is the subtitle/text feature.
Please improve it.

Part 3. Minor Feature Improvements
GIF Optimization
When importing GIF files, the preview often becomes slow.
I currently use workarounds such as importing them through the HOS plugin or converting them to MP4, but this is inconvenient.
If GIF playback becomes smoother, I think many YouTube editors would appreciate it.
Event Pan/Crop and FX Window Controls
Keyframe work inside the Event Pan/Crop and FX windows is very inconvenient.
To play the timeline, users first have to click the main timeline and then press play.
For frame-by-frame movement, users also have to move their hand to the arrow keys every time.
I hope shortcuts can also be customized inside the Pan/Crop and FX windows.
It would also be helpful to add shortcut support for “Sync Cursor to Media Timeline.”
Video Speed Adjustment
Setting an exact playback speed such as 2x or 3x is quite cumbersome.
It would be helpful if VEGAS had a feature like Premiere Pro, where entering a value such as 200% automatically adjusts the clip length.
Also, as far as I know, the maximum speed that can be adjusted directly in VEGAS is 5x.
If possible, I hope the maximum speed limit can be increased.
For speeds beyond that, I understand that users have to combine Ctrl + drag with a velocity envelope, but this makes the timeline messy, so I do not use it often.
I know that Vegasaur’s Rocket Speed can increase the speed up to 1000x, but as far as I know, it does not work in sync with audio.
Renaming Preset Files
In areas such as Video FX, Transitions, Media Generators, and the Plug-In Manager, it is not possible to rename saved preset files.
This makes preset management very inconvenient.
+ I would also like the ability to delete presets, if possible.
Plug-In Manager Folder Feature
I organize more than 200 effect presets into folders so I can use them efficiently.
However, when VEGAS occasionally crashes due to an error, the grouping can be lost.
Also, when exporting or importing presets using Preset Manager 2.0 or Vegasaur’s Vegas Preset Manager, the group settings are not backed up, so I have to recreate the folder structure manually every time.
This does not happen very often, so it is not the most critical issue, but I would appreciate an improvement if possible.
---
Part 4. Favorites
To put it simply, please add more Favorites categories to areas such as Video FX, Transitions, and Media Generators.
My workflow is usually divided into several stages: basic effects, color correction and filters, and special effects.
The effects used in each stage are different.
When everything is placed into a single Favorites category, the list becomes too large and complicated to manage.
Please allow users to create as many Favorites groups as they need.
When using Sapphire and Continuum in VEGAS, the FX window becomes overloaded with too many items.
Because of this, I saved the effects I needed as preset files so I could find them quickly.
- GG: Effects I frequently use in normal editing
- GFT: Effects used for color correction and filter work
- GEF: Effects used for special effects work
For example, if I enter “GG” into the search box, FX effects with “GG” in their saved preset names are categorized and displayed.
If I search for “GEF,” FX effects with “GEF” in their names are categorized and displayed.
Because there was no proper grouping feature, I used the search function like a grouping system.
However, after MAGIX patched it, the search became slower and no longer works properly.
When I contacted MAGIX, they said they could not fix it and simply told me to search for each effect manually.
Having to search through hundreds of FX effects and apply them to hundreds of events every time is unreasonable.
Some versions were such a mess that certain features actually worked only in cracked versions.
Please either restore the previous search behavior or add more Favorites groups.
---
Part 5. Finally...
Updating advanced features is important.
They can be used for marketing, and they are necessary to keep up with current trends.
However, just as a tall building needs a strong foundation, I believe VEGAS needs improvements to the basic features that MAGIX had neglected for a long time.
Korean VEGAS users left with great disappointment, but many of us still miss its intuitive editing workflow and lightweight performance.
I believe Boris FX can meet our expectations.
Subtitle/Text Improvements
An intuitive and easy-to-use UI that does not require moving between multiple tabs
Easier font selection
Proper Korean text input support
Minor Improvements
GIF file optimization
Customizable shortcuts for playback and playhead movement inside the Event Pan/Crop and FX windows
Improved video speed adjustment
Ability to rename preset files
Ability to back up Plug-In Manager folders as well
More Favorites groups, so users can choose FX more efficiently depending on the situation
Unsure about the copy I have. Theyre from files I copied from an SD card backup, so lets just go with the worst case scenario and say it's pirated.
9070XT (plus R5 7600x and 32GB ram)
For some unknown reason, playback is choppy and takes ages to load frames to upwards of a good 5 seconds to load ONE frame for some odd reason.
Scrubbing through the timeline can sometimes CRASH the program. Mind you, Ive set the ram allocation to 20GB which would hopefully mitigate these problems, but no.
I had a laptop with a 3060 in the past than ran the program smoother than this.
Yes, and most google searches lead me to people recommending to set the memory allocation higher, which i already said I did.
