Hi

We need more information to help diagnose the issue you are having:

The specification of your computer system including Windows version and program version, see this topic for what is required and please quote processor and graphics card(s) make/model in full, and also what monitor/screen resolution(s) you are working with if this is a laptop.

I would suggest you put this information in your profile signature so we do not have to keep asking for it.

What changed between working and not working eg Windows upgrade or update, different computer etc

Are you getting any error messages, if so then please quote them in full or provide screen shots.
 
Are the graphics card/integrated GPU drivers up to date?

The interface and blue splash appears and then gives a "serious program error occured....ACCESS VILOATION"

@AAM If it's possible for you it would be helpful if you can upload screenshot of the error message and maybe also a detailed error description, if it is available in the Error Massage Box.

"I am experiencing a persistent export failure at 99% progress when creating a 4K/UHD slideshow.

My system details: LG gram laptop (Intel Graphics). The issue started after upgrading to the 2026 version. I have tried disabling hardware acceleration in the program settings (Y), but the export remains extremely slow or fails at the final muxing stage.

Please advise if there is a known patch or a specific setting to resolve this encoding conflict on Intel-based systems. Thank you."

@SP. 

I don't know what an error message box is

SP. wrote on 6/7/2026, 8:22 AM

@AAM Thank you. Yes, that is the message box. There can be a problem with the program settings. You can reset the program settings by navigating into C:\Users\*YourWindowsUsername*\AppData\Roaming\Magix\Videodeluxe*versionnumber*_plus\ and either rename the Videodeluxe.ini file to a different name, for example, Videodeluxe.ini.bak, or delete it. The next time you open the program it will run with its default settings.

SP. wrote on 6/7/2026, 8:32 AM

@Jozsef-Novobaczky If a range of your project, excluding the very end, exports without issues, there might be a corrupted image or other object right at the end that is causing the export to fail at 99%.

AAM wrote on 6/7/2026, 8:35 AM

@SP. Thanks.

I tried that a few times and it never worked

AAM wrote on 6/7/2026, 8:38 AM

@Jozsef-Novobaczky thanks

I can not operate the program, so how can I export etc? I have deleted and reinstalled it and that doesn't fix it

Sorry, Windows 10 Home

@AAM

Thanks for the Windows version.

Error code 5 Access violation is a Window issue, he most likely cause is a Windows Update.

To check your system, close all running programs then:-

  1. Hold down the Windows Key and press X

    Select - Terminal (Admin) or Powershell (Admin), , this will open a new dialog pane.
     
  2. Type in or copy and paste the command: 
     
  3. DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

    and press the Enter key to run
     
  4. Once this completes repeat step 2 for each of the following commands in this order:

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    SFC /SCANNOW

    Note:- During the RestoreHealth run, the progress may appear to freeze at 63 % for a while (up to 30 mins) as new Windows files are downloaded.
  5. Restart the computer - using the Restart option not Shut down

If the program still errors, then try a clean re-install to remove fragments left behind by the Windows Uninstaller. I use Revo Uninstaller Pro (paid for), however there is Revo Uninstaller Portable - this is a self-contained program which requires no installation, and is free.

Open the Zip file and copy/extract the folder to a USB stick or into your Documents folder, if you do not have WinZip or any other software that can open Zip files, Windows Explorer can, right click the Zip and select Open with, Windows Explorer.

Run the RevoUPort.exe, and uninstall Video Deluxe.

Once the uninstall completes, you will be given the option to Scan for leftovers, if offered use the Safe or moderate scan setting.

The Scan is in 2 parts, Registry left overs and files/folders.

Delete the left overs found. Note: If you have other Magix programs installed then some of their registry settings and files/folders may appear in the two scans, ensure that only the Video Deluxe entries are selected and delated.

Restart the computer - using the Restart option not Shut down

Install Video Deluxe.

Disclaimer: Running the Windows system file fix and using Revo Uninstaller are at your own risk, if you do not feel comfortable doing this, then seek help from your local computer shop.

Thanks @johnebaker

It is still not working. I tried everything but used another program to clean uninstall which was already on my computer.

I will try again with Revo

AAM wrote on 6/18/2026, 6:36 AM

Thank's for everybody's help.

My video editor is working now. 🙂

I think it is because in the end I deleted all of the videodeluxe.ini files on my drive rather just the one.

Cannot install the app at all. One time installation said it was complete but when the app started the screen was frozen and not even complete. Next install attempt led to message to uninstall the app. I'm going around in circles.

Hi I have Magix deluxe 2026 plus which just crashed on me, when trying to restart it just gets to the blue square which has Creating menus... updating program layout... initilizing video system...

Hi

We need more information to help diagnose the issue(s) you are having:-

  • Are you logging into Windows with a Microsoft account and is OneDrive installed and running?

    If OneDrive is installed and syncing your Documents folder to OneDrive, this is known to cause issues.

    As a minimum, you need to stop OneDrive syncing the Magix folder in your Documents folder - see this article on how to do this.

    OR

    If you do not need to use OneDrive then see this article to disable it completely.

    Note:- ensure you have a backup copy of everything that has been uploaded to OneDrive before doing either of the above.
     
  • Did you try deleting the Videodeluxe.ini file found in:-

    C:\Users\Your username\AppData\Roaming\MAGIX\Videodeluxe32_version?

    If not do so and then restart the computer.

If none of the above work

. . . . I have deleted the whole program and reinstalled but it just the same . . . .

How did you 'delete' the program, if you used the standard Windows uninstaller, there will be files/folders and registry entries which will affect the re-install.

We recommend uninstalling using Revo Uninstaller Free, this will scan the Registry and program folders/files for leftover items. If you use Revo then do check that the leftovers found are related to VDL 2026 especially if you have other Magix programs installed.

If the above fail, what is the specification of your computer system including Windows version and program version, see this topic for what is required and please quote processor and graphics card make/model in full, and also what monitor/screen resolution(s) you are working with if this is a laptop.

I would suggest you put this information in your profile signature so we do not have to keep asking for it.

Are the graphics card/integrated GPU drivers up to date?
