I tried this on the Sony forum with no response, so maybe I stand alone with my problem. In Vegas 11.0 x64, blank timeline, 8-bit color processing, when I apply the NB titler to an empty event or generated media event, everything works normally.

When I switch to 32-bit color processing, the text in the preview window and the rendered text disappears into a garbled line of pixels at the bottom of the screen. See my screenshots below to contrast these two attempts.

Can someone else try this? Am I missing something here? BTW, I can nest an 8-bit color project with NB titler into my 32-bit color project and have it look normal.

(Full Range) worked fine on my system. I changed it to the middle entry (Video Levels) and the text in the Titler GUI disappeared a couple of times but the Vegas preview still looked fine.

Thanks for the quick reply, Edward! I suspect something about my system specs is at fault since this worked for you. I love the Titler! I'll file a ticket as you suggest.

Thanks,
Steve

I stand alone with my problem.

Actually, it is the same on my system. But only if using the titler as a Video FX, not when using it as a Media Generator.

OK, thanks. NB Titler as a media generator in all color bit depths worked for me, too. I didn't read the manual, to the extent that one exists. I just jumped right in. Is this the trick: apply only as a media generator, not VFX? I have no problem with that.

My test was as a media generator - I did not test as an FX. I just tried it and can confirm I see the same results as an FX.

Well, dang, Edward, I guess something is wrong after all on my end...and Adam's, too!

At least I have two workarounds now, which I guess is a credit to Vegas by allowing us to skin a cat several ways. Hrmmm. I guess I can troubleshoot directly with NB.

Steve

I'm saying that when I added it as an FX, I see the same issue you are seeing and I've reported it to the developers.

Roger that, Edward. ;)

Meh, the NewBlue titler is usable (and certainly better than the very primitive native title generator), but I am very disappointed how primitive these are compared to the built-in functionality of the Adobe Premier title generator. I suppose I will have to get used to using external apps to generate titles. :-(

And even the latest build of Vegas 11 seems just as buggy and crash-prone as 9.0 was. Almost considering dumping Sony and going back to Adobe. There are a few things that are nicer with Vegas, but not enough to make up for what I used all the time in Premiere (and I was using Premiere Pro 1.5!)
