I used nvidias encoder on my last videos and in Win media player everything was fine: video, audio and FPS. But when I tried to import one of the videos to sony vegas then it would give me black preview (whole video part was black) and if i tried to play the whole thing it would crash(the file is 17 min and aprox. 750mb so it's not due to enormous file size). I tried earlier videos that were done with x264 and those worked/played perfectly but as soon as I loaded a nvenc encoded video sony vegas would crash.

Help plz.....

If you saved as .flv you probably need to change it to mp4 in order for Vegas to read it. If that isn't the problem, then post the OBS log file from a recording that you've tested to not work in Vegas, along with the the media info text from the file.

I have the exact same problem. There was an auto-update to OBS a few days ago (Friday / Saturday?) and since then nothing that is captured will import properly into Sony Vegas. No settings have changed - just the software. Is it possible to roll back easily?

Not sure then. Use this to find out the media info from your file: https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo and post it here.

Media info from Brindlestiff looks fine... the usual problems with Vegas are A) Not MP4, B) Not CFR, or C) not AAC audio. But all of them check out.

If you need it to work right away, try installing .967b again. If you can test things, try different NVEnc Presets with and without 2pass enabled.

Try uploading a 1-2 minute file you've confirmed doesn't work to a file-sharing site so we can test it on our own computers.

Thanks Boildown, I will be testing it later this evening. As an aside, I installed the most recent version of OBS Studio and configured it pretty much like for like; this does not suffer from the same problem.

FYI I was having a similar problem with recent OBS Nvenc footage.
I could see it in Vegas, but editing it would cause vegas to crash frequently.
And trying to render it would almost always crash vegas.

I solved it by disabling GPU acceleration: Tools/Preferances/Video Tab/ and set the GPU Acceleration dropdown to "OFF"
I also set my render setting to "CPU Only" instead of CUDA.

It rendered slightly slower, but it didn't crash.
