AMD Ryzen 5 3600 + RTX2060 hardware encoding

Hi guys,

would be so kind and help me to find a way to activate hardware encoding when exporting MPEG4 or HVEC files?

I can check the hardware encode in details when exporting video, but the windows showing progress says "Mixing down .. no harware encoding" anyway.

My details in attached picture. I was not able to find any official guidlines on using hardware encoding from MAGIX.

Thanks a lot :)

Hi

For Movie Edit Pro (MEP) you need an Intel processor with iGPU for Hardware acceleration - the RTX is not used by Movie Edit Pro for rendering MP4 or HEVC.

. . . . I was not able to find any official guidelines on using hardware encoding from MAGIX . . . .

From the system requirements:

. . . Graphics card: Onboard, min. resolution 1280 x 1024, 512 MB VRAM and DirectX 11 support (recommended: Intel Graphics HD 520 for MPEG2/AVC/HEVC) . . . .

Video Pro X, MEP's big brother, will use a NVidia graphics card, however only for HEVC import and export.

See this rather long topic for the testing several users have been doing.

@Davidius

I see from a previous post that you were trying to import some Prores files into MEP which did not allow them.

Video Pro X will handle these and if you ever go down that route you could use your RTX2060 to HW accelerate HEVC export and HEVC playback.

See these notes for that:- https://www.magix.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Produkte/Pro/Video_Pro_X11/video-pro-x11-notes-regarding-hardware-acceleration-eng.pdf
