Rendering Time

My Spec:

i5-2500 (3,3Ghz) ■ 16gb ram [ddr3 1333mhz] ■ 1Tb SSD ■ NVidia GeForce GT 710

Magix Movie Edit Pro Premium 18.0.1.213

rendering MP4 FullHD 1920x1080 25p

Sorry for going over "old ground", but, I've read posts where people are rendering movies where the movie length / render time is almost 1:1.

I'm trying to render 10-15 minute clips with very little effects used, and despite the usual tweaks here and there - my render times are almost double the movie length.

from what I've read, my system should render much faster than it does (my 10 minute clips taking typically 20 mins to render)

what can I do - if anything, to speed things up?

thanks

Hi, I'm back and I've an update.

Firstly, my hardware has been upgraded to:

i5-3570k (4.0Ghz) ■ 32gb ram [ddr3 1333mhz] ■ 1Tb SSD ■ Asus GTX 970 4gb GPU

Now, when rendering MP4 FullHD 1920x1080 25p - the fastest I can achieve is 30mins video rendered in 35-40 mins. Please bear in mind this is simple video with no effects at all.

In the MPEG-4 Export panel,

■ "Calculate Video Effects on GPU" checkbox is ticked

■ export settings >> Advanced button >> "Hardware Encoding" checkbox (in the Video/H.264 area) is also ticked

@martin-brennan

Those figures are quite acceptable, however you may find better performance if you turn off "Calculate Video Effects on GPU".

Several users have experienced a slow down in the render rate when this option is checked.
