Initial testing of VDL 2026 appears to have the following bugs:

Can someone please confirm the above.
Thanks

Hi Roberto
Thanks for testing, confirm what I found in VDL 2026, Support request raised.

Hi, without considering plugins, that is, just natively, have you found anything that does not exist or has been improved in VDL 2026 compared to previous versions? (This is because I downloaded VPX 17 on another machine that is much faster than my usual one, and it seems to me that it has something more fluid, but I'm not sure. In the German forum it seems that someone expressed something along these lines)
I wrote this in the German forum.
Working with 10-bit 4:2:0 material on the timeline has never been as stable and largely smooth for me with any Magix version as with this version. (Even better than Magix Vegas 22.)
My hardware resources are apparently utilized much better in VPX17 than in all previous versions.
Editing video material with different FPS rates, and also mixed with material containing variable frame rates, also works much better in my initial tests.
No asynchrony or image errors have occurred so far.
I used footage from:
Go Pro 2.7K 240 FPS (constant)
Samsung S23 60 FPS (variable)
Xiaomi 14 120 FPS (variable)
Panasonic GH6 60 FPS (constant)
However, with my hardware, I reach the absolute limits of performance when editing 10-Bit video footage.
On the other hand, 8-bit video footage now runs smoothly with my hardware up to 5.7K 30 FPS, or with GoPro files at 5.3K 30 FPS Image format 8:7.
The previous Video Pro X versions regularly crashed for me.
I couldn't even get the software to crash intentionally.
Video Pro X 17 sometimes had delays of up to 30 seconds, but unlike previous versions, it didn't crash.
What I can do, however, is crash Pro X17 with HEIC images in the P3 color space. The Pro X17 can't handle this properly.
This is because I downloaded VPX 17 on another machine that is much faster than my usual one, and it seems to me that it has something more fluid
My clear hardware recommendation for editing 10-bit video material is therefore:
CPU at least Intel Core i7 12700K or AMD Ryzen 5800X
GPU at least NVidia RTX 2060 SUPER or AMD RX 6700 XT
RAM at least 32 GB.
German moderators and users have also reported the bugs mentioned above.
Hi Marc
Thanks for the feedback, and your usability analysis.
I will have to check the performance with HEVC 10 bit 50fps 4K UHD D-Cine, most of my video is currently in this format.
