@Can-Dive Hi. What you propose would make adding an additional track make the tracks already laid down change their numbered track. Try it on an existing project. Add a track above track 1 by pressing the track header's + button and see what happens to the current rack one. Ray.

@Rob-Marks Hi and welcome to the user to user forums. As such with no Magix staff here to help. Your best bet is to contact Magix Direct via infoservice@magix.net and give them the details. I will add @johnebaker to delete your email addresses as it is not wise to publish personal data on public forums. Ray.

@Can-Dive Sorry I misunderstood the idea of working from bottom to top. The bottom track would still be track 1so the mixer would not have to be backwards. I still don't quite get the work outwards bit unless it is a workflow preference. Compositing still has to be laid down in a strict order. Regarding this whole business. I did find the survey talked about earlier and users were asked if they would like that. The answers must have been a majority no. I know I answered no to that one. You may have to wait for the next survey to have your say. Ray.

@Can-Dive I think the point that @browj2 was trying to make was that the highest track number would now be on the left hand side of the channel strips which would be a first for me at least to have seen on any audio mixer, virtual or real. I'm not sure I go along with John EB's logic of what gets laid on which track of a DAW as often in professional studios when recording groups a vocal track with either piano or guitar are laid down first alongside the click track and orchestral arrangements tend to follow the layout of the orchestra left to right but normally orchestral sessions are not multi-take/overlay sessions that a pop music session would be. As professional studios have their DAWs (if in fact they use a DAW at all) connected to physical hardware the normal practice is to just mark the base of each channel strip with what it contains on a bit of masking tape.

@johnebaker Thanks John. Especially for the image of your settings as there is no mistaking them as opposed to text which can be tricky at times, especially for those who's native tongue may not be not English. That is what I thought you meant but can understand anyone thinking it was the actual project export setting but with just the resolution adjusted. That original project setting resolution is not even in the Magix preset export options any more. Shows you how old that project is 🤣. Ray.

@AAProds Hi Al. It is not a criticism. I don't even know what precise settings @johnebaker used. I am just trying to find out if everyone was on the same export settings or not as that would skewer results. Ray.

@Former user Hi Gid. No, it was @AAProds quoting My times (H264, 1920x1080, 6000kb/s as per the project): That has me worried. Or anyone else who may have just adjusted the initial project settings rather than load a project template from the export drop-down list such as here. Which would have given export settings similar to this. That export would have been considerably faster, Ray.

@johnebaker @AAProds @Former user @Reyfox @Daxton-Eakins Hi John. I could not remember whether I had ReBAR left on or off so I checked and it was on. So I ran the Demo with ReBAR on and off. On my system it did not make one iota of difference but I never expected it to as I have said my CPU cannot take advantage of it anyway. What curiously did make a difference was playing the project through fully once before exporting. That consistently shaved three seconds off of the export times but as expected my export times fall short of anyone else's times here. What does worry me is that everyone may not have had exactly the same export settings so here are mine. My best consistent export time. Ray.

Magix Video pro why does it say Source: Empty when there are files
@DiamondGeezer Hi and welcome to the user to user forums. What John means is you have somehow changed the basic view of the program and the main monitor you need (There should be two monitors) has been moved. Possibly it is buried under another panel in the program. Using the Window Tab on the top selection bar of the program select the following to get that monitor back in place. That setting will give you both monitors back but the layout will not be exactly the same as mine as I am using a custom layout. Ray.

@Reyfox @Former user @AAProds Perhaps it is the difference in the motherboard ram speeds and timings between the systems. Ray.

@Former user Hi Gid. Your motherboard is just awesome, as is your whole system. If it is falling behind in some export times it could just be down to newer GPUs having slightly differing computational units but I'll bet once you start to add additional processing needs such as tracking and morphing to get a picture or video within say a moving window panning across a scene it should still pull away in capabilities over newer builds. If you were really worried you could always replace your ram for faster sticks assuming the CPU can handle the speed. Ram wise you probably have way more than you need. What's the highest ram usage you have seen? Ray.

@Former user Hi Gid. I think it's only people like me who swap out components that would have to look in the Bios. If the machine was built from the getgo with the components in place I would think it would be enabled correctly unless ther was an inboard GPU on the CPU that was not enabled. What surprised me was my motherboard had Resizable BAR support at all as it can't use a CPU that would allow Resizable BAR use. Ray.

@Former user @AAProds If you have a capable nvidia card then it will show up as yes but that alone does not make it active. For that you would have to check your bios settings and look up the processors capabilities. Anything from 10th gen Intel onward should work and earlier from AMD but how early I'm not sure. Even though my Bios has an Enable for Resizable BAR and can be switched on it makes little difference if the CPU cannot be enabled as well. Ray.

@AAProds Hi Al. If you have access to Resizable BAR you should enable it. It allows more date via the PCIe lanes to be directly connected between the GPUs and the CPU. To quote Resizable BAR (Base Address Register) is a PCIe capability. This is a mechanism that allows the PCIe device, such as a discrete graphics card, to negotiate the BAR size to optimize system resources. Enabling this functionality can result in a performance improvement. Sadly my CPU is too old. Ray.

@Reyfox @AAProds @Former user @Daxton-Eakins @johnebaker I think as well as clock speeds, amount of ROPS, generation of ram, cache sizes etc, the one thing that tends to get overlooked is the parallel processing involved. Both in CPUs and GPUs. The 3060ti 8GB Al uses has a 256 bit bus whereas my 12 GB 3060 has a 192 bit bus and a 4060 has a 128 bit bus and a 3090 has a 384 bit bus. This makes comparisons much harder to predict and I'm sure this is deliberate on behalf of the manufacturers. It also depends on what is being processed. This is why reviews are so helpful from reviewers you trust and are applicable to the software you use. Although there are not many reviews that cover using Magix products, reviews covering using Adobe premier come close as their Mercury Playback Engine is very similar to The Magix Infusion Engine. The specs on both sites recommended for the programs are virtually identical. Ray.

@AAProds Hi Al. Good question assuming they are exporting to MP4. If the default setting for MP4 is used from the export options and you change it to 1920 x 1080, that can cause an error to come up telling you to update your graphics driver and that HWA has been turned off if using an nvidia GPU. Yet use the standard preset for 1920 x 1080 at 25fps in the MP4 drop-down menu and it runs without incident. Intel GPU exporting is not effected using the project settings but just changing the resolution. HEVC exporting is actually faster rendering that project than using MP4. Ray.

Video Pro X16 - New Features and Bug Repairs
@Can-Dive From a personal perspective, the fact the program tracks work from the top down was the main reason for me to initially buy the program. Not having had previous experience of a video editing package, that seemed a more natural and intuitive way to lay down tracks as I do not read or write from the bottom of a page. I have seldom had to look at the manual to use either MMS or VPX. Something I can't say about other editing packages I now also use for the odd project now and then. I can see where if a person has previous experience with other video editing software the track layout would take getting used to but from a complete newbie point of view I'm not so sure. Also not having dedicated tracks means I can save screen real estate and keep all the tracks in view and can get a really complex project to fit everything in without having to scroll the view around. Ray.

@Former user Hi Gid. I just typed Magix Demo into the search bar and for me the files came up on my K drive. It only took a few seconds to find. It doesn't show the MVP file though so just get Windows to show you the location of any of the files it does find and you will find the MVP file there as well. Ray.
