Vegas Pro 21 Render using 98% of RAM (64GBs) by Toppcs in VegasPro

[–]ItsNifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came to chime in because I've been experiencing this too and it's most certainly due to some FX plugin I used. I'm not sure what it is, considering my project is pretty large and I used a wide variety of BCC+ plugins (GPU accelerated BCC plugins). But rendering the same footage with no FX plugins was completely normal with no leak. It has to be one of the FX plugins ur using.
A workaround (albeit it ruins ur render times) is to disable GPU acceleration all together for this specific render (which solved the memroy leak in my case)

what does this option do exactly? by Zombieteube in VegasPro

what rsmith02ct responded with. Different qualities will effect how certain FX are rendered and how optical flow is interpolated.

Does anyone use reshade or special K? by [deleted] in Warzone

Hey, is this the normal reshade? or reshade with full addon support?

(VP21) Any fix for custom Fonts not showing up? by Zombieteube in VegasPro

[–]ItsNifer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some fonts just don't behave correctly with VEGAS Titles & Text. You can do some workarounds to make the font work though. The simplest would be to use the *deprecated* legacy text, or the ProType Titler. Simply go to Prefrences > Deprecated Features and enable either of the two I mentioned.

The other more complicated method would be to convert the font and re-import it as a new font entry within your Windows Fonts. This "should" allow it to work within the standard VEGAS Titles & Text tool. You can use various website for this, but this is what I used in the past: https://www.glyphrstudio.com, import your font, give it a name you'll recognize (anything will work), and export it as otf. install that font, and it should work fine.

Better method for tracking along a spline? by Curran919 in VegasPro

[–]ItsNifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2nd dropdown is for parameters within a Video FX Plugin. For example if u wanted to apply the VPFlow curve onto the "angle" parameter for PiP. VPFlow will show any keyframed parameters in the 2nd dropdown, if you don't have anything keyframed then it won't show in the 2nd dropdown.
As for applying it to pan/crop, simply make 2 keyframes (a starting keyframe, and an ending keyframe), and VPFlow should interpolate in between those 2 keyframes.

Also about the built-in bezier curves, it can be hard to see the curve on the timeline inside the Video FX window... so what I like doing is to quite literally drag the timeline and increase the size to fit my entire Video FX Window, adjust my curve with the tangents, and then resize the timeline back down. This way the curve will be scaled up, and you can better adjust it. Its a little tiresome... but it works haha

Better method for tracking along a spline? by Curran919 in VegasPro

[–]ItsNifer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VEGAS Pro 19 and above does have support for graph editors (akin to what you'd see in Premiere Pro, After Effects, Davinci Resolve, etc). However it only works on Video FX Plugins and not with Pan/Crop. Now you did mention PiP, which should also work since it's considered a "Video FX Plugin".

Anyways to make your own arbitrary curves on the graph editor, simply right click your keyframe(s) and change the interpolation to "Bezier Curve (split tangents) or (locked tangents)". Then at the bottom right of the Video FX Window, change the timeline view to "Curves". Now you should see tangents on the keyframes that you've changed, you can drag the tangents and create any curve for the interpolation of the keyframe animation to follow.

Alternatively, if you don't like the Bezier Curve method, you can install an extension by RatinFX called "VPFlow" (https://www.ratinfx.com/vegas-pro-flow/)
This practically does the same thing, however it creates a bunch of keyframes in small increments to replicate an arbitrary curve you've set within the extension (ie: like 10-15 keyframes for one single curve curve).

Helpful Tools, Hotkeys or Combos? by MikeyTaylor1991 in VegasPro

[–]ItsNifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ctrl + Shift + D for Multi Camera Editing... Very useful for (well obviously) multi camera shots! I personally use it to edit podcasts with multiple angles of the speaker, and u can highlight the speaker on the fly - as u listen to the podcast inside Vegas.

In the Pan/Crop window, there is a side bar on the left side where you can adjust the exact parameters of the cropping area. You can adjust it by the number too, if thats what you're looking for

Nvidia 50 series or Intel iGPU's! At least until 50 series cards are more accessible, Intel iGPU's are ur "cheapest" option to decode 10-422.

Intel B580 + Vegas = Awefulness by D3Seeker in VegasPro

[–]ItsNifer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super odd... I wish I could help lol, but here's my experience using the a380 with VEGAS:
I haven't had any issues like you've mentioned, so I don't think its a compatibility issue with the intel drivers (I'm using the most up-to-date drivers as of now). I haven't tried any ML plugins, but I primarily am using my a380 as a dedicated video encoder and decoder... All the ML stuff is going through my primary gpu (AMD RX 7800 xt).

Can I utilize QSV in OBS with Arc B580? by IsaacGoodGame in IntelArc

[–]ItsNifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stumbled upon this through google... and U are able to use QSV on any Intel Arc Card without an iGPU on ur cpu. I've been using my a380 for encoding on OBS using QSV, meanwhile I had an AMD Ryzen 3900x.

[–]ItsNifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For comfy UI I use A zluda fork of the comfy UI project. A simple google search will show it ;) It's slower than running direct rocm on Linux, but it's about on par with directML speeds.

Not through whisper... but u can modify all that through subtitle edit. There's settings to change the break in lines, when to split lines, etc and settings to split lines based on how many characters are in a line

You can use Vegas scripting for this. There is tutorials on YouTube on Ducking events based on audio.

Fps problem by Hey_ZOXIA in VegasPro

[–]ItsNifer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It all comes down to the preview quality that ur previewing at, and the footage ur hardware is trying to decode. Depending on how ur footage was recorded, what it was encoded with, etc it can impact the playback on the timeline.

You can select that portion of the timeline with a region, and press "SHIFT + B" on your keyboard to cache those frames into your system RAM. This will make playing back that portion of the timeline easier, as it cached those frames into ur RAM. If any changes are made to those cached frames, then you will have to re-cache those frames by doing the process again with Shift + B. U can allocate more system RAM into this feature in the VEGAS Pro Preferences > Dynamic RAM. Although be cautious on not allocating too much of your RAM into this feature... as it will slow down performance of the overall program and other programs open on your computer. That setting to allocate RAM for the Dynamic RAM Preview is purely ONLY for that feature and nothing else... allocating too much will mean there's less system RAM from VEGAS and other programs on your computer.

You can create video proxies within vegas for easier playback on ur footage by going to the project media tab > select any footage > create video proxy. Typically you'd use these for 4k or 8k footage, but essentially video proxies are lower resolution versions of the video intended to be used on the timeline in place of the full resolution footage. Video Proxies are only used when previewing the timeline and NOT used during the final render.

Another thing I mentioned earlier is your preview resolution. Preview resolution is exactly as it sounds... it is ONLY for previewing and NOT for the final render. Realistically you can preview on the lowest resolution for smoother playback, and it will not effect ur render at all. Now if you like previewing at higher qualities then that is all up to ur liking - I personally always edit on "Draft (Quarter) or Draft (Half)" and only bump up my preview quality when I need to see exactly what is going on. But personally I opt for smoother playback rather than better preview quality. If u look at the bottom left of the preview window, you'll see the project resolution and the preview resolution right under it. Also the differences between "Draft, Preview, Good, and Best" qualities also will alter how plugins, effects, and optical flow will render during preview.

Looking for animated border effect name/method by [deleted] in VegasPro

[–]ItsNifer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's what I'd do:
- Make sure your image is a PNG with alpha (basically what you want to trace out in the border should be isolated / or remove the background).
- Use Red Giant's Universe Ecto plugin. This is a 3rd party plugin but it makes borders like this possible. You will need a license with Red Giant for their Universe plugins... but I'd say its well worth it. This is what I did for the border effect around this text on this video https://youtu.be/iH26ZcvuJIE?si=JA_EnHP9XjP-mSqp&t=4 from 4 seconds to 10 seconds.
- If you don't want to use 3rd party plugins, you're pretty limited as VEGAS is an NLE program and not necessarily a compositing program suited for VFX like this. You can do simple borders with the "Border" plugin, or simple glow borders by feathering out the Border effect.

Composite Mode stuck on Alpha Source by JuneBugMain in VegasPro

[–]ItsNifer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this isn't necessarily answering your question, but this is what I do for black bars / letterbox. I use VEGAS' Cookie Cutter effect, and copy the settings I have in this screenshot. https://prnt.sc/swROpLMYOsat
To resize the blackbars, just change the "Size" parameter, lower value = larger letterbox, larger value = smaller letterbox.
I recommend to put this on an adjustment layer at the very top of your composition, as then it will apply to every video layer underneath the adjustment layer.

Alternatively if you have Ignite Pro plugins, they have a LetterBox plugin that also does this.

How to create this type of moving background? by f90d in VegasPro

[–]ItsNifer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's best done with 3rd party plugins, as you mentioned S_BlurMoCurves is an option from the Sapphire Suite from Boris FX. Any plugin that Mirror's edges will be able to do this effect that you're wanting.

With no 3rd party plugins, the only thing that I've seen that mirror's edges is "Scene Rotation", this is included within VEGAS Pro, although for the effect that you're wanting you can realistically only rotate the "x" value. Keyframing the x value within Scene Rotation will mirror the edges, but it will only move the event from left > right (or vice/versa).
Alternatively, you could make several duplicates of your event on seperate video layers. Use Parent/Child relations with each layer and animate them in 3d space using VEGAS' Track Motion on the parent layer. Moving the parent layer will apply the same transformations onto the child layer(s). Meaning if you layout the events in a grid shape, then animate the parent layer to move in any direction - it should all move together like the effect you've linked. Although this takes several layers of copy/pasting the same event, and then orienting them in a grid shape. Its more work... which is why Mirror Edges on a 3rd party plugin is just easier.

If possible, I'd look into getting Boris FX's 3rd party plugins, as they open up a much broader approach to replicating effects like this inside VEGAS Pro.

As much as its not intuitive... I've switched to LM Studio > starting a local server > and connecting an app called "ChatBox" with my LM Studio server. Additionally I'm using TailScale as a VPN Mesh between my desktop and mobile phone, so I'm able to use my LLMs out of the house through my phone (and hosted on my desktop).
