Mask effects error

Hi all,

Probably this has been answered before, but I wasn't able to find it.

When I export a video that has many effects with masks (for example, one track has a mask for blurring and below there is another mask for a vignette), 9 out of 10 times the exported video has strange results. Some parts seem to loose the vignette effect while on others it looks right.

I tried exporting the video with and without hardware acceleration on, with and without anti-interlace applied, and in mp4, mov or avi formats, and the problems randomly appear in different sections. The crazy thing is that the video looks correctly in the preview qwindow.

I use MEP 2014 Plus on an I7 with an Nvidia GT 960. Then I tried uninstalling everything and moving it to an older I3 with an integrated Intel card, and the programme ended with an error.

Maybe you can shed some light on this problem? It is driving me crazy as I cannot finish the job, even though in the video monitor it looks as it should. Maybe some masks might be cancelling the effect of others in a different track?

Thank you very much!

Diego

PS: I added this screen capture. I know it is a bit chaotic, but I tried to show all the tracks used.

PS2: On some export attempts, the resulting video also has clips that get repeated on wrong sections. Like a clip starting a 00:15 gets repeated at 00:54, where other clip should be. It's driving me completely mad!

Hi padieg

There would appear to be some stray / unnecessary objects on the timeline in particular the two items circled in green below on track 14 appear to be short sections of the vignette on track 15.

Are the items circled in blue on track 18 meant to be there.

. . . . On some export attempts, the resulting video also has clips that get repeated on wrong sections. Like a clip starting a 00:15 gets repeated at 00:54, where other clip should be. . . . .

Check the higher track numbers for stray / unwanted objects which may be causing some of the duplication, and the direction of any Chroma key, Alpha effect applied is correct.
