No Hardware Encoding issues

Mitchell-Montgomery wrote on 4/1/2020, 4:11 PM

Hello,

I am using MAGIX Movie Edit Pro Plus V 19.0.2.58 and have an Intel Core i7-9750H 2.6GHz processor with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 GPU. When I export a video as HEVC I am getting a "No Hardware Encoding" message at the top of the export window and am experiencing a 1:5 export rate.

Is there a setting I am missing to enable hardware encoding? Based on my online research - Google and these forums - the following settings have been checked:

  • Magix Program Profile has been created in my Nvidia Control Panel.
  • Settings>Program>Display Options>Preview in Arranger>Video Mode I have "Standard Mode (Direct3D, hardware acceleration)" and "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060" selected.
  • Attached is a screenshot of my export settings (and advanced settings).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Mitch

Hi Mitch and welcome to the user forums.

How is your project set up?

The left hand setup is the one you probably need but is a bone of contention at present as some people are not getting the same, but indeed, conflicting results. If you are using a lot of effects titling or colour corrections it will slow processing quite a bit as will exporting at 4K.

See this thread.

Also make sure the Intel Processor is set to Power saving when using MEP buy going to Settings\Display\ and scroll down to Graphics Settings where you can chose Magix Video deluxe (version) and make the default Power Saving. That is most important.

Win10? What is GraphicSettings set for?

Started with MEP 11, then 17, then MX, then MEP 2013, 2015, then 2016. Changed to the fast competitor after that, which worked fine with my non-Intel hardware. Then bought a used Dell with an Intel GPU, just to play with MEP again. Installed MEP 2020 Plus in March 2020, even tho I don't like losing patches if I have to reinstall after a year.

Hi

For Hardware Acceleration (HWA) of HEVC you need to set Movie Edit Pro to use the Intel integrated UHD 630 GPU, it cannot use the RTX 2060 for HWA.

To do this see this solution. although it refers to a UHD 530 it is the same for the UHD 630. If you do not see the option to use the Intel GPU then it may be disabled in your BIOS - you will need to enable, how you do this depends entirely on your motherboard make and model.

Nearly forgot.

Did you buy the HEVC export codec for MEP? It's a separate but cheap download from the Magix servers.

I presume he paid to activate it, because if I try to encode with HEVC, I get a message telling me that I have to activate it before I can encode.

Thanks Mike.

I couldn't remember. It's been a while since I didn't have it and have slept since then 😉

Thank you, everyone, who replied!

Knowing that the encoding needed to be done with my Intel GPU and not my NVIDIA GPU was what got it working. I had to do a lot of driver updates, reboots, and a BIOS-enabling but I was finally able to see my Intel UHD 630 GPU as an option in my Graphics Settings and get it selected.

I ran a test export and got nearly 1:1 export speeds! This is awesome! Thank you!
