Issue Details

Start Sony Vegas 11 or 12, drag a clip on the timeline, add the "Colour curves" effect to the clip, enable playback on the second monitor in full screen and press play. The colours R and B will be swapped at random times on both the secondary monitor and the smaller preview monitor. Switching off GPU acceleration "solves" the problem. This R/B flicker started after I updated to Catalyst 12.10. Vegas 11 worked flawlessly until I updated to Catalyst 12.10 so the problem is def a Catalyst problem but might be caused by not saving the GPU states properly between Vegas  and the display driver. I've also reported the problem to the Vegas team but because it affects also an older versions of Vegas it seems to be a Catalyst problem.
