Bluray Hardware Acceleration

Due to a limitation relating to hardware encoding of interlaced video, “external” GPUs such as the NVidia 2000/3000/4000 series GPUs will not invoke hardware acceleration during the encoding step of the Bluray creation process. However, hardware acceleration will occur if the CPU-integrated GPU (iGPU) is used. So, if your CPU has an iGPU eg the Intel UHD770 iGPU in the i7-13700K, before you start the Bluray process, set the iGPU in the Export droplist in the hardware acceleration section on the File>Settings>Program>Device Options tab (key Y) as shown here: Information sourced from the Magix forum here.

Movies and Projects

One of the most helpful features for me in the Magix NLEs is the multiple-movie feature. In a single project, you can have virtually unlimited movies or timelines, and objects can be copied and pasted between movies. Then all movies can be exported at the same time (batch). For example, you can edit a 3 hour VHS tape into say 20 separate movies of unique events and then export the lot, as separate files, in one go. This is incredibly helpful in speeding up your workflow. I’ve done a Youtube video on this:
