My setup is

Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE Wifi AMD X570 Motherboard

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X Desktop Processor (12 Cores/24 Threads/3.7GHz)

MSI NVidia Gforce GTX 3060 with latest drivers installed

Windows 10 Home 64bit

Magix Movie edit Pro Premium

I have tried all options to enable hardware encoding during export but it does not work

Hi and welcome to the user to user forums.

Hardware acceleration on export is normally tackled by the processors inboard graphics chip so must be active within the pc or laptop. For that to be enabled with the EUFI (bios) either a monitor must be plugged into the graphics port for the inboard processor GPU or a headless ghost must be used to fool the port that it is in use while a monitor is plugged into the other port of the separate graphics card.

We know this works with Intel based systems but as far as I know most of us here that answer questions have Intel based systems so I have no idea whether this recommendation would work with an AMD based system.

While the specs page says Movie Edit Pro will run on both systems if you look at the specs page it specifies Intel HD 520 or higher specified inboard GPUs with no mention of AMD.

However, with all that being said, the Ryzen processor you are running, along with such a powerful graphics card may mean your export times are equal or faster than our Intel based systems anyway despite the lack of hardware acceleration on export. In my experience the amount of time an export takes comes down more to the amount of 3D and pixel shading work that is required than video encoding capability and your nvidia card should be of greater benefit in that department.

For instance, most of my exports take longer than the video time length to process and can take more than three times longer even with the benefit of hardware acceleration depending on the effects in use while exporting projects running at 4K.
