Vegas Pro: Crash when Neat Video added to event + track

Post by Fifonik »

Neat Video v5 shows critical error message and then Vegas Pro 17 crashes when it is added to event and to track.
I know, the situation is silly and this should not be used in real life, however it takes quite some time to realise why VP crashed when I was adding NV5 to track. It turned out that NV5 was already added to one event on the track and this caused the crash.

To re-produce:
1. Create new VP project (I'm using 32-bit video level pixel format)
2. Drop video on time line (I'm using 1080-60p from my camcorder)
3. Save project
4. Add Neat Video 5 to event, build profile, choose filter options, Apply
5. Add Neat Video 5 to video track, build profile, choose filter options, Apply => VP crash

If you swap 4 and 5 and add Neat Video to video track first and then to event -- Neat Video will show critical message and then VP crashes.
After the crash happen, GPU become in partially unusable state and so restart required (In my case, until I restart PC, project preview and render were very slow. Probably because some GPU memory was not released).

CPU: Ryzen 3700X
GPU: RX 470 4GB, Radeon Settings 19.9.2 (the latest stable)
Windows 10, 1909
Vegas Pro 17 build 353, GPU enabled in options
Neat Video 5.1.5, CPU (8 threads from 16)+GPU, memory usage limited to 35% (value suggested by NeatVideo)

I have not checked all possible options combinations (like disabling GPU in Neat Video and/or in Vegas Pro).
Let me know if you will not be able to re-produce the issue, I'll try to investigate and find out what options are required to crash to happen.

Thanks.

Yes, we have been able to reproduce this on our computers. This seems to be caused by a limitation present in the current version of the plug-in, which causes a failure when two instances of the effect are applied at the same time, one in a track and another in clip. We will try to lift this limitation in the future updates of the plug-in.

Kind regards,
Vlad
