Could somebody please help..

Yes, possibly, especially if you give us a lot more information! Please read this post https://www.magix.info/us/forum/please-do-the-following-before-posting-your-question--621831/ and supply all the details requested. (We don't even know what version of MEP you're using!)

Speaking purely personally, I wouldn't consider combining HD picture quality with 128kbps sound and expect to output a very high quality music video!

Since you mention an A9 processor, I assume you're working on a laptop? However, that processor is only a dual-core at 2.9 to 3.5GHz, according to the information I found. To me, that is barely fast enough for anything like HD video.

Thank you very much and with total gratitude to you both John EB and emmrecs(Jeff) for getting back to me so quickly. I had thought I would have to wait ages for a response. I am using Magix Movie Edit Pro version 16.0.1.22 and I have been trying to render short videos with a maximum time frame of around eight minutes in MPEG-4 format at 1920x1080 resolution with the audio quality set to 128 Kbit/s. I had experienced crackling and pops at the 48000 Hz sample rate setting and had thus adjusted my sample rate to the lower 44100 Hz setting. This worked for a short while but now when I render my short music videos I am hearing crackling and pops during playback. I have tried the other various output formats but the standard MPEG output format is even worse. The AVI output file size is enormous and I haven't upgraded to allow the HEVC file format. I do appreciate what you say Jeff that my laptop may not be fast enough to process this amount of data but it is a brand new HP laptop with a terabyte hard drive. I don't care how long it takes to process the video but I just wish it would process properly. I use Fruity Loops Studio 12 and it can process any size of audio project into an MP3 file flawlessly. I don't know if it's my hardware that is at fault. I do sadly suspect that the Magix programme is trying to process too much data too quickly and is thus not performing at its highest fidelity. I have also tried to reduce the audio sampling rate to the 96 Kbit/s rate but the audio quality is poor. I do need the HD picture quality as the images I am using for my simple screenshot videos, not actual videos even, are in HD. I am sincerely grateful for any advice you gentlemen can offer. For an example of what I am trying to do please see All I want to do is upload a simple picture with an audio background track. More advanced slideshows can come later. I must confess that I am at a loss. I have tried everything I can think of. I am an experienced computer user with many years of tinkering with operating systems and programmes. Is there anything I can do to tell Magix to take control of the CPU and dedicate itself entirely to the task of rendering the video or slow the process down a little so that it will not make errors? PS, how can I properly express my gratitude for your assistance? Yours faithfully, Peter G Davies. PPS. The audio source is from MP3 files rendered using either Magix Music Maker Premium 2017 or Fruity Loops Studio 12 in 320 Kbps quality. The pictures for my simple screenshot slideshow are to be honest downloaded from the internet in HD. If it is a sad and inevitable fact that my processor is not up to the task of rendering at this level then I will accept that but it worked for a while. Please see my previous YouTube link. It worked perfectly but now it's just being a pain. I have no idea why... :-)

I see that there is a problem with my attempt at inserting a HTML link to one of my YouTube videos. Sorry about that. My videos are quite simple, just a way to share my music with my friends and anyone else interested. All I am trying to do is create simple slideshows with an audio backing track.

Hi

. . . . Movie Edit Pro version 16.0.1.22 . . . .

You are missing several patches / upgrades the current version is 16.0.3.66 - update MEP - Help, Update online and then check if the audio has been fixed.

. . . . I use Fruity Loops Studio 12 and it can process any size of audio project into an MP3 file flawlessly . . . The audio source is from MP3 files rendered using either Magix Music Maker Premium 2017 or Fruity Loops Studio 12 in 320 Kbps quality . . .

The samplerate for both must be 48kHz to import into MEP correctly without issues

. . . . problem with my attempt at inserting a HTML link to one of my YouTube videos . . . .

Assuming you copied the Youtube link correctly - the Youtube video must have the allow embedding option checked for it to work.

. . . . I do need the HD picture quality . . .

Youtube will create lower resolution versions of your video - down to 240p - depending on the viewers Internet connection speed even though you upload at Full HD (1920 x 1080)

HTH
