Greeteings all,

Just tried this update and there seems to be a major problem with the installer (similar to as posted by Jeff @emmrecs here https://www.magix.info/us/forum/patches-movie-studio-and-video-pro-x-2022-10-18--1307719/#ca1818842 for the previous patch)

Update 22.0.3.167

    Fixed: Qt crash upon program shutdown
    Fixed: HEIC import crash - Google Analytics fix
    Fixed: Crop and camera/zoom motion are no longer influenced by the object tracker
    Fixed: Tracker is displayed correctly when mirroring effect is applied in position/size/rotation dialogue
    Fixed: Faulty arranger display for projects saved with active film overview
    Fixed: Backwards compatibility issues for 3D deformation & effect masks.
    Fixed: RGBA video is correctly displayed also with resolutions below "half video" resolution.
    Improved: Performance optimization of the InApp Store
    Improved: Optimized performance when using objects without "Size/Pos/Rotate" effect
    Improved: Mercalli can be deleted through the effects overview

Neat Video

    Fixed: Plugin visible in effect overview
    Fixed: Plugin dialogue shows correct sized preview images with
    Fixed: Plugin dialogue shows the proper preview image
    Improved: Single plugin removal is possible

Hi John.

That's about the same difference I'm seeing. What are your drive read write speeds like?

How much memory is the Intel GPU grabbing?

I'm beginning to wonder if the problem is happening around the transfer of data to the motherboard ram.

None of the individual components seem to be stressed in any way.

Hi Ray

The iGPU never got above 5% usage, all the donkey work, was on the RTX 2060 for 4K the export which was varying in blocks between 28% and 37% usage for the 3D chart, and the encoding chart was more stable around 10 - 12%. The CPU varied in the 15-20% the higher end being where there were images.

Greetings all,

As far as my problem with the install of the patch is concerned, I've sorted it. It was my system at fault.

The UpdateService.cfg file somehow had the wrong working directory - no idea how that could have happened.

Hi John.

Sorry this is my fault. I meant during playback. The Intel GPU during export almost gets completely locked out or doing anything. If we are doing percentages for disc speeds then slightly lower for me with VPX 14 compared to up to 57% using MEP 2022 on exports. Then my nvidia GPU starts to grab system memory.

I have never seen that happen to that extent before.

Craziest CPU usage? Nearly flat out all cores for some fades but mostly not doing much most of the time.

But what about this above? Why do both programs think my first monitor is powered by a different GPU? VPX 14 in this case has it correct but both will use the same monitor (Intel) when selected in that box. Has anyone noticed when that option is selected there seems to be no adjustment made for the programs monitor view. Very small detail begins to give Moire patterns.

Hi Andy,

Great to hear that you've solved the original issue but how did you discover the problem with that .cfg file? And, from my point of view, equally importantly: where did you find the actual file on your computer???

Greetings Jeff,

It was a matter of intelligent thinking (not a lot), patience searching the registry and luck.

To cut a long story short, I finally decided it must be something to do with the Magix Update Service because there was no downloaded file to be found either before or after an attempt to install.

A quick explorer search - with hidden files showing - took me to Users/Andrew/AppData/Roaming/Magix/UpdateService.

Open that, open the UpdateService.ini in Notepad (or similar text editor) and there it is "working_dir=C"/...."

Hi Ray

. . . . But what about this above? . . .

You can ignore those settings, you are not using them. They are to display the project window view on an additionally connected monitor.

I have not tested this with a third monitor, however with 2 you can see the effect of turning the option on.

As you can see with the option on the right monitor goes full screen with no transport controls.

This mode can be very useful as you are seeing the resulting image as it will be output.

Hi John.

That may be what you get but this is what I get.

With the program on the right nvidia powered monitor I get the program pushed over and I can't get it back fully onto my monitor screen. Also the left monitor is not what I actually see. Screen grab is not doing it for some reason.

The left screen is how it would look at 4K but only an off left view at what I assume would be a full sized view.

With the Program on the left Intel powered monitor I get this.

Similar but the program nestles nicely onto the monitor properly.

If I minimize my program down to the task bar, this is the view of my Desktops until I come out of the program.

This is actually what I see sitting at my Desk.

Note the view is more 3:4 in nature with blank spaces either side.

Sorry about the squeaky chair. I said it was quiet in my room. 😅

How odd, I presume the monitors are both 16:9 and set up identically in Windows ie no Scaling etc.?

Hi John.

Correct. Everything is as neutral as I can get it save colour calibration and text clarity. Everything is set to the monitors native resolutions and screen refresh rates. They are matching 1080p LED monitors set to 60hz. The nvidia and Intel control panels are set to allow applications to take complete control.

The other odd thing is when I have that set to the opposite monitor, the preview monitor in MEP or VPX loses its ability to smooth the sharpening of image resulting in small detail having moire patterns in it. Happens in brickwork, tiles, clothing weave etc.

If I then make the preview monitor in the editor full sized, that scaling comes back correctly.

Ray.
