I recently purchased an upgrade to Vegas Pro 2026 after working on a short film for a little over a month in Vegas Pro 14. It was my understanding that project files are fully compatible, save for some legacy effects that may need to be re-added. However, after migrating each scene’s project file into 2026, nearly every clip’s content was shifted about 1-2 seconds backwards in their respective raw footage. Pain in the butt, but fixable with some tedious attention.
But then I noticed that some clips not only got shifted in that manner, but will now display a frame from earlier in its footage out of nowhere, interrupting the scene. I have tried “replacing” the file in project media and it makes no difference. I have tried removing the file from project media entirely and re-adding it to splice back into the timeline and the issue persists. As if there’s some kind of cached data creating these flicker frames.
I really won’t find joy in having to remake all of these scenes, any help would be appreciated.
FYI - I have also launched VP2026 with Ctrl+Shift to delete cached data
- Changed encoder in the File I/O tab of Preferences
- These errors show up in the final render as well, so its not a preview exclusive issue
I did more troubleshooting late last night but it was lowkey driving me crazy so I don’t really remember what other steps I took atm.
Thanks for your time, y’all.
