Hi,

This has happened to me twice. The message was to wait, it will come. Unless you absolutely need support from Magix or you need to reinstall, I suggest that you wait until Magix comes up with something better, like some new features and patches, and maybe better add-ons. See Magix.com under Video Pro X, and click on Upgrade to see what is currently being offered. You'll see the price and the add-ons. You can always go that route, but I suggest waiting.

I'll wait quietly. Currently, I wonder what happened to the hardware support.

The recording shows the use of iGPU at 60% at h.264 and similarly at HEVC. I currently have 20% doing the same test. I even installed the system anew to see if it would change anything. Unfortunately, the performance is still 3x worse.

Hi

The comparisons in the video between HEVC (h.265) and h.264 are not like for like.

Whether using Hardware Acceleration (HWA) or not, for the same video quality, the HEVC export default bitrate settings should used - HEVC delivers the same quality video, at approx 1/2 the file size and lower bitrates compared to h.264.

. . . . I wonder what happened to the hardware support. . . . .

The HD4600 does not support HWA for HEVC encoding on the GPU - only Intel 6th-generation ‘Skylake’ Core processors or newer have this capability built in.

The h.264 recording is coded by the fourth generation i5 and h.265 HEVc by GTX 980. As you can see on the recording earlier, hardware support was more effective than now. What are the differences between h.264 and HEVC I know. I mark - HEVC I convert to GTX 980. For the record:
- h.264 I calculate with IQS intel i5 fourth generation
- h.265. HEVC GTX 980

I currently have 20% doing the same test.

Do you mean the H264 with the iGPU and the H265 on the GTX980 now only show 20% respectively?

Do you think the latest VPX10 V.306 has caused this?

If so what version was the software on during the tests in your embedded video?

Few things:

1. HEVC uses far greater compression than H.264. This is like complaining that your computer takes longer to zip up tons of file using the "Highest Compression" setting vs. the "Normal Compression" setting.

2. Video Encoding is computationally intensive. You have an old Haswell CPU with no Hyperthreading. QSV from that generation does not support HEVC, at all. Without the ability to offload the Encoding to the Encoder SIP (either QSV, NVENC, or VCE), your CPU is going to bottleneck hard. That's why it takes forever... Your CPU is underpowered for this - most CPUs in consumer machines are underpowered for this. Constant 100% usage and long render times are a classic symptom.

You also forgot to check "Render effects on GPU" to see if that allowed you to get faster rendering times by offloading the effects processing from the CPU ;-)

I currently have 20% doing the same test.

I've done tests up to version .291. As you can see there is a drop. What is the cause ? I do not know. The first test was done on version .236 and I can confirm that the support works best.
