First, Magix, your Magix.info New Post function looks nice, but times out quick, making it a POS causing me to re-write my original post while including a new rant in the beginning of it, only compounding my disdain.

On to my original issue...

My system: Ryzen 1800x; GTX 1080; ASUS Crosshair VI Hero (mobo); 960 EVO M.2 250GB; 32GB RAM; Win 10 Pro

Using MEP17Plus

I'm rendering an 18 minute video as I write this. So far it's been in the oven for about an hour and a half. The "remaining time" continues to climb, slowly, but chugs along at a snail's pace (it will never complete it's render at it's current rate). I've never had any issues like this on this system; usually, I'll render in about an hour for a 45 minute video. I don't know if that's good or bad because I'm pretty new to it all, and Magix is the only program I've used for rendering. The video in question is originally a 48-ish minute video, edited down to about 18 minutes.

The only thing I've done differently in this edit process as compared to others, is that I've ungrouped an audio/video group, deleted the audio, and used a speed effect (4x) on the lone video segment. That's it. Everything else has been the same for me.

The other issue that I constantly run in to is GUI lag. No matter what I'm doing or how large/small the video is, if I use a function (scroll through frames, cut, group/ungroup, etc.) then the GUI will lag for about 5-10 seconds before I'm able to use another function... PER FUNCTION. It takes me just as long to edit and render my videos as it does to record them. ...and I'm an amateur, I don't do fancy editing stuff.

I took the screen shot when I started re-writing this post; it's added 27 minutes on to it's render time since.

Please tell me there's an easy fix; I can't express how frustrated I am right now, so I'll just say I'm headed into a "zero tolerance" zone. I have too much on my plate to for something like this to rear it's head.

Thanks,

Losat
