the latest amd gpu drivers and *inverted colors* bugs are here again (vegas pro vce)

[Shinjuku Cafe 新宿カフェ]

for information for those who do video work/rendering game videos etc.
latest amd gpu drivers cause *inverted colors* bug in rendered videos and in vegas pro window

I use an older 6700k rx 580 8gb 16 gb 3200 mhz pc machine that I built myself in 2019

I myself have not come across on the internet that anyone has noticed this inverted colors bug

but i sent a report to amd so they can investigate it further and are aware of this problem

let's hope that amd quickly fixes this *inverted colors* problem in video rendering (amd vce)


edit: I installed an older driver and video working and rendering work again: Adrenalin 23.7.2 (WHQL Recommended)

thank you for reading this

[Shinjuku Cafe 新宿カフェ]

it's the current version 23.8.1

I only use my cards (RX 7900 XTX and RX 6900 XT) for gaming, surfing the net and watching vids (YT and my own vids via VLC Player) and I don't see this color inversion. I don't use VEGAS Pro so I can't comment about that, and yes, I'm on Adrenalin 23.8.1

this *inverted colors* bug comes when you render a video using amd vce and it does not affect games but only the rendered videos in video editing programs that use amd vce for rendering

I am facing the same issue when using Vegas. I have an RX 570.
I formatted Windows this week and ran into the inverted colors problem (curiously only on images, not videos), and thought it was something conflicting on my new system, but apparently not. I'm going to test this driver 23.7.2, hope it also solves the problem for now, thanks for the post!

this is update: amd gpu 23.9.1 new drivers also cause inverted and wrong colors in rendering (vegas pro).
older drivers work in vegas pro program. amd constantly has problems with inverted and wrong colors in video editing programs where videos are rendered. this bug is also present on some of the latest amd gpu cards

You sure it's not Vegas Pro? You tried re-installing that?

[Shinjuku Cafe 新宿カフェ]

I forgot to tell that this is the latest vegas pro 21 video editing/rendering program and with the latest amd gpu drivers my rx 580 always has the inverted colors bug and with the old whql-amd-software-adrenalin-edition-23.7.2 vegas pro 21 works normally and in rendered there are no inverted colors or color errors in the videos
uninstalling the program and reinstalling it didn't fix the issue, but with the latest drivers, the inverted colors bug still appears. I probably need to get an nvidia gpu card because amd repeatedly has these problems even with the latest cards (from this year and a few years old) I haven't tried whether the latest amd gpu drivers work with the older vegas pro 20 program and maybe someday if I can, I'm going to test it but no at the moment

I updated to the latest amd gpu version again (23.9.1) with testing in mind and I last read that last year on that page and it's good that you brought up that link because now I finally decided to test that and I used the effect *Channel Blend/RGBA-BGRA* for the whole project and the colors work normally again. this is a temporary solution until amd fixes its gpu driver, but the good thing is that the colors of the video now repeat normally thanks to this channel blend fx.
wonderful to get the colors to work normally in rendered videos with the latest gpu driver. channel Blend's fx is a better option than 32-bit video levels because it's so slow that it doesn't make sense to use it for that reason, but channel Blend is fortunately not heavy and is much faster to render than 32-bit video levels in comparison.
vegas pro users note that you should definitely try that channel Blend fx to remove inverted colors because it is a light fx.

thank you so much for bringing up that link/advice! because the colors are normal again in the latest amd gpu driver 😃

Pretty cool channel!

AMD reintroduced an old bug which happened multiple times with driver updates in the past

23.8.1+ has the bug
23.9.2 still not fixed

https://www.overclock.net/threads/official-amd-radeon-rx-7900-xtx-xt-owners-club.1802706/post-29238289

Example from a year ago

Have to indeed go back to 23.7.2 or use 32bit in project settings (will be much much slower rendering) [or the FX you mentioned]

Other people with same issue:

I have been sending a bug report in the AMD app every version

Please do so as well to get this fixed, Thx.

@emoticorpse thanks 😎
yes, it's also in the latest gpu update drivers and it's so disgusting, but luckily using the right fx works for it, so the videos render without color errors. I personally use that *Channel Blend/RGBA-BGRA* fx gimmick so the colors are normal. thanks to everyone who has commented and noticed the same thing. I am also reporting this bug to amd

the wrong colors in Vegas Pro 21 rendering is now fixed in 23.11.1
