Short description of error
After importing VP9 video and trying to render I got blocky render.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
- Loaded default environment and chose "Video Editing"
- Uploaded video file
- Made simple modifications (split, audio replacement) without touching video parameters
- Render video

I tried to change output parameters for video:
- Raw PNG frames
- MPEG-4 + H.264 Good
- MPEG-4 + H.264 Loseless
- MKV + H.264 Good
- WebM + VP9 Good
Every time render gets borked. Preview shows original quality which isn't as bad as seen on screenshots.
When I converted source from MKV+VP9 to MPEG-4+H.264 blender finished render without artifacts.
