Hi Marvin.

Every time a new version of a program comes out it often becomes more demanding of the systems it runs on due to the additional capabilities of the program.

In this instance I think this is what is happening and the delay between left and right channels is the hardware having a hard time keeping up. There may be no cure for this, but it should not effect the resulting export if you do not try to alter the footage in production to account for the discrepancy.

The reason Jeff has asked for you to put all the details of your problem and the complete machine specs into your signature is to check all of this.

At this point my reply is pure conjecture but I'm betting your machine specs are now getting close to minimum requirements compared to the system requirements for the older versions of Movie Edit Pro.

I updated to the latest version 20.0.1.73. Still have the same problem. My computer has Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4600M CPU @ 2.90GHz processor. 64bit

Hi Marvin.

If this page is correct on your CPU specs, then your system is not coping the the demands of the new program that require the system specs I've posted into the image below, so I'm afraid I stand by my original analysis.

Hi Ray

. . . .  your CPU specs, then your system is not coping the the demands of the new program . . . .

With the i7-4700M processor this must be a laptop - my laptop has the i5 version of this processor and same iGPU - the HD4600, and it does run MEP 2021 (and VPX12) reasonably well - there are limitations of course - resolutions up to FullHD (1920 x 1080) is OK, however 2.7K, or higher, video is not practical - you can but it is painfully slow.

Proxy files are a must, as is turning on the blue lightning icon on the preview monitor.

Exporting MP4/AVCHD up to Full HD does use hardware acceleration - the HD4600 drivers must be up to date - NVENC and exporting at 4K resolution or higher does not.

We need the information on the source file(s), are they:

• from a 3D camera that produces 2 separate video streams - make and model
   
• from a dual camera setup, with inter-ocular spacing, running at the same time

Any additional information would help.

I am using a Sony 3D Camera with two video lenses. Model HDR TD10. I also use a Sony DEV-3 and Sony DEV-5, so the files come from a single source. I am using 3 different computers running different versions of Magix. I just processed a video on a slow i3 computer, it took a long time, but no sync problems with left and right channels. I ran a video from the Sony TD10 camera on my other computer with i7 processor using 2019 Magix and had no problems with left and right sync.

Hi Marvin.

The benefits of promised faster render times or smoother playback on newer programs only comes if the program can be matched to the system specs required for that version. I can only assume the programs you are having less problems with are better matched to the hardware they reside on.

So these are my personal thoughts.

In my opinion, if a program is doing its job for a product I am using, then it is best left using that program as there is little to be gained by updating unless you need a specific improvement or capability. Sometimes upgrades are forced upon us when we buy new recording equipment the old software does not support, or when an operating system is no longer supported. With the latter, and if working with intensive workload applications, it is normal to also have to upgrade the physical components as well. Also with new operating systems older programs often can no longer work and again an upgrade is forced upon a user. In that instance it is often better to keep the old operating system to keep the programs working but best not used to connect to the internet for general use.
