  RE: Does Video Pro X still Smart Render?
  If Smart Copy is a subset of Smart Render then they are not always the same, but I do not wish to dwell on semantics. What I want is when I render a project that has a mixture of unaltered and altered GOPs due to editing, only the altered GOPs are

  RE: Does Video Pro X still Smart Render?

  1. Which version(s) of VPX? 2. Does it do AVCHD, both interlaced and progressive? 3. Can you switch it on and off? Do I have to do something that I have not mentioned? 4. Do you get any indication of when it is copying unaltered GOPs and rendering

  Does Video Pro X still Smart Render?
  A few years ago I tested Video Pro X4 for its ability to Smart Render, but found it a bit buggy. I referred the problem to Magix, but they said that they could not reproduce my problem, so they could not pass it on to the developers to be fixed. I

  Hi, welcome to the Magix forums. Is it possible for you to post somewhere, not to this forum since the forum software will inevitably compress the quality, a very short (c. 10 seconds) of footage from your Sony camera that fellow-users can download
