Video playback is still not perfect. RGB channels are often unaligned in random offsets. Playing mp4 video ripped from youtube via “4k video downoader+” software. Videos are mp4 , and plays perfectly on VLC. attached a short video example.
I am on a laptop vith NVIDIA rtx 3080 latest drivers. No other issues (apart from the crash if you try to crossfade duplicated same clip).
I should add that it happens more evidently with low resolution videos, like 360p or 480p, it have to do with high upscaling maybe

Ciao!
Hi @ciro1983811,
can we have access to the file to analyse it? If it you don’t want to give the file to the public, maybe you can send me a PM?
See you,
Michael.
Hi @Spork , below a link to download one of the many videos that shows the RGB disalignments in my project. Is a publicly available video on youtube that i downloaded.
Original source on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLsksff4vLI&ab_channel=VascoRossiVEVO
Thanks for your support.
Hi again @Spork … i just tryed to load the video i sent you in a brand new project, with only one video track… it shows good!! It only shows with RGB disalignment when tere are 2 or more video tracks routed to the same video output (all the songs in my project have 2 or more video tracks routed on the same video output 1, to have logo, and multiple videos for crossfades etc…). Even if the second track is empty, the first one shows disalignment , green bands etc. …!!!
That should help solve the problem!
Regards, Ciro.
Hi @Spork any feedback on this? Will it be solvable? I still have plenty of time, but in july i’ll have this show where i setup a big vstlive project, like 32 songs 65 parts, and a total of 50 different videos in multi video tracks all routed to video out 1, and at the moment the results are poor, with artifacts and green lines almost everywhere. Re-making all the videos in an esternal software to pre-edit the fades logos etc to have only 1 video track would be a tedious work, as i already have everything done in vstlive.
Regards, Ciro.
we are on it.

We are very close to fixing green lines, videos not showing, and video fade issues. But we still need to stabelize, so those fixes are not yet available with the upcoming prerelease. We’ll possibly provide an extra version for those fixes. Thanks for your patience.
And thanks for the video, it did help.

Thanks! As i said, no hurry, if it’s solved by june i’m fine, thanks again for your support!
Pls try again with the upcoming prerelease.
Green lines we have still not managed (very weird one, only with images), maybe we will until then. But all other issues should be solved, let us know how it works out for you.

Hi @musicullum @Spork , just tried 2.0.12 , video problems are improoved a lot, duplicate video playing simultaneusly without crashes, but i still get very serious green lines, and not only with images.
1- when there is a track with an image, routed to video out 1, other tracks on video out 1 shows green lines even if the event with the image is not currently playing, and even after it played. After it played you need to route image track o NC then back to video out 1 and the green lines will disappear and not come back until next image event.
2- Even when image track is not present or not routed on video out 1, if there is 2 other video tracks on same video out, if the events on the 2 tracks cross each other when fading, green lines will appear on one of the two videos, or on both , and will stay avter the crossfade ended.
I decided to save archive one of the song of my project where i use 5 videos, all quite old and low res, that cross each other many times and a logo, this is one of the worse project in terms of green lines. Maybe you can troubleshoot on this one … it’s still 1,1 Gb , feel free to use it or not … but this is much of the video problems alltogheter in one song 
Regards, Ciro
Dear @musicullum , just my additional experiences regarding, tested quickly v2.0.12
-
video is not played (probability 10-30%) As soon as hitting stop it realises where should be and renders actual frame immediately. (But of course there is no way to do so in primetime). Can happen only at song change but never with restarted/rollback-ed song. (Have screen rec if that helps.)
-
brand new observation with newly added video file: fade-in routine is not running down at loading “next song”. E.g If video is starting fade in, first frame (or start marker Pos frame) is put on video output “un-FedeIn-ed”.
I hope both make sense to you.
Thanks, and thanks ciro for the project. We are looking at all issues.
Thanks @musicullum , appreciated. Yesterday i rehearsed with 2.0.12 and full band live, with a 16 in 18 out interface at 64 samples latency. Everything went well, every musician was connected to his global stack and plugins automated, CPU 20-30%. Every song had multi tracks record enabled and stack tracks for recording. I noticed few things:
-
i had set up auto stop and go to next song at marker end, then i manually press a usb pedal associated to F3 keypress, and set record in transport actions and shortcut to F3, it works flawlessy. Sometimes when playing live we went a bit longer with the song finale thus crossing to next song and experienced a fraction of a second of silence in the stacks due to song change, even if global stacks should remain always active i supppose… maybe this happens because of the recording tracks switch from a song to another? should i set my usb pedal “shortcut” in actions to next song and play and leave auto song stop at marker end without going to next song? BUT if i want to start record at pedal press, in actions and shortcut i can find next song and play but not “NEXT SONG AND RECORD” can you please add “next song and record” to project actions and shortcuts?
-
video out was in full screen on laptop monitor (due to not having the secondary screen connected). When i needed to see tracks or other screens, i clicked on video and it went in window mod and can be minimized; but a couple of times i pressed ESC due to being used to do it in video players. Video tries to go in window mode by default windows 11 key binding, but ESC is associated to PANIC by defaultin VSTL. This causes a unrecoverable freeze of the app most of the times (i have panic audio interface reset selected in opreferences) .I lost tracks being recorded this way and all recordings from the previous save point, luckily recovered by manually re-importing recorded tracks from GIG folder inside audio.
Thanks again for your feedback and responsiveness!
Regards, Ciro.

Pls check todays’ version for improvements.
Same, pls check. There were several issues related to Song changes, this is most probably one of those.
We still haven’t figured out this one, it’s particularly mean. But we made some progress to narrow it, sorry it takes so long. Thanks again for the project, it helps!
Same problem.
We found and fixed an issue with image files (pictures) whose width was uneven.
Finally, we also fixed stretched views for videos or images in portrait format.

Dear @musicullum
Unfortunately no positive change on both my experiencing issues on Win11.
FadeIn not rendered at song-change:
Video is not rendered to video output after song change
No issues for video render at song change for me, on windows 11 for me too.
Generally speaking, still green lines on most of still images when fading, way better overall for green lines oncrossfades between videos, on 4:3 videos very frequent, almost none on landscape videos. More or less 20% of the transitions and videos now i have green lines. A step in the right direction.
Tanks @musicullum , let me know if you need other songs of the project where i have still very evident green lines even without image track.
Regards, Ciro.
Thanks for the offer, but we can reproduce it very well - just fixing it is remarkably tricky. We’ll report.
Yes, sorry, we are on that one as well. It will be fixed with the next version.

@Spork @musicullum Can this be added easily next pre-release? it’s useful when i want to record our live performance as i can assign it to a footswitch press. Thanks!
This is solved by changing key associated to Panic. I associated panic to TAB key, then when videeo in full screen and i press esc it goes to windowed without causing “PANIC”! and freeze the app !
Ciao, Ciro
Sure sure, actually the not played video is the more problematic since the launch of v2. Interesting that the delayed start time was an issue before, but at this song the solution was to delay start to make in consistently played.
Isn’t there a Next Song Action Type exactly this? Of you don’t know it before rather want to fire it when time comes?
Or even better to something like CTRL+ESC (that is my PANIC key) simply can’t pressed accidentally and neither used by OS for built in keycommand.
