Hi I get an overall error that i can't export any projects to any filformat like AV1. I have just bought and installes Video premium deluxe 2024.
please help
Hi. Welcome to the user to user forums.
Did you read the requirements for use of the AV1 codec on the Magix website?

But according to the nvidia site the 30 series(Link) is also capable. I think AMD has similar pages stating which graphics cards also support AV1. Apart from saving disc space there has been little uptake so far for uploading the files to media sites apart from live streaming which I believe YouTube supports that.
Currently Intel GPUs have limited use of AV1.

[Edit]
On further research it appears you do need an nvidia 40 series GPU to both decode and encode to AV1. The 30 series can only decode. Current Intel Ark GPUs can also only decode. I have no idea about AMD GPUs.
To encode in software you would need to use Handbrake, FFmpeg or a similar software to convert an existing file to AV1.

Ray, the Magix website is rubbish. The 3060 can happily export AV1. Goes to show how knowledgeable our masters are...
We'll need more info on what the exact error is. To start, can you post a screenshot of the error message, at what stage it was.
Also, go back to basics and try with just one object on the timeline and see if that exports.
Hi Al.
My information on checking for AV1 exporting was from the nvidia site, not Magix. I don't have MMS 2024 so could not check accuracy. According to nvidia, encoding is only available on the Lovelace die if memory serves me correctly.
So I don't know if they are wrong or you having some extra tools on your system is helping somehow.
If the 30 series of cards are capable within the Magix programs that I assume would be a bonus.
[Edit]
I also found official Intel support that says Arc does support AV1 encoding.
It's possible some internet searches are bringing up old information.
Ray.
Greetings,
My Intel GPU does encodes to AV1 only without Hardware encoding. The RTX 4060 does use Hardware encoding BUT no matter what bitrate I set the encoding to , the video is encoded to the maximum bitrate and the file ends up much larger than required. In other words there is only one bitrate setting when using an RTX 4060.
When I turn OFF the hardware encoding, the bitrate I enter is respected.
I have raised a ticket with Magix on this, and after 5 weeks and a little prompting from me they are no nearer finding a solution to this apparently.

My post about this https://www.magix.info/us/forum/the-av1-codec--1335123/#ca1918673
Thanks Andy.
It looks like I'm going to have to go for the upgrade to find out for myself.
Glad you have it sorted.
For future problems that you might enquire about could you put your complete computer specs in your +Signature?
It helps anyone around to answer possible faults or known cures for problems.
Thanks .
Ray.
Hi Al
. . . . Ray, the Magix website is rubbish. The 3060 can happily export AV1 . . . .
All documentation I can find, and the Nvidia decoding/encoding tables, state the RTX 3000 series can hardware accelerate decoding of the AV1 codec, however it cannot hardware accelerate encoding of the AV1 on export.
AV1 encoding was added to the NVENC module in the GPU starting with the RTX 4000 series.
What do you see in Task Manager, Performance charts for the RTX 3060 when exporting to AV1?
Can you also check the GPU Architecture code number - it should be GA100 series

Hi
What is your computer specification, Windows version and program version number, see this topic for what is required, and please quote processor and graphics card make/model in full.
I would suggest you put this information in your profile signature so we do not have to keep asking for it.

What do you see in Task Manager, Performance charts for the RTX 3060 when exporting to AV1?
With the 3060 only: Around 25% CPU, 35% 3060.
With CPU only: 40%
With UHD 770 only: CPU 30%, 770: 25%
Can you also check the GPU Architecture code number - it should be GA100 series
Where's that, John?
MediaInfo for exported file:
What I want is VP9 import! 😉
Hi Al.
You would need a system monitoring tool like HWiNFO64.
In my instance it's a GA106-302 (LHR).
Any GPU can show activity during a render, it's whether it shows Video encoding activity or not in this instance that is of interest instead of 3D rendering and Copy which is more normal to see in use.

You don't need any serious GPU to export AV1; I just exported an AV1 from my 12yo i5 and old GPU.

Hi All
. . . . You don't need any serious GPU to export AV1 . . . .
Agreed, however that depends on how long you are prepared to wait for the export to complete given that AV1 is a more complex and processor/GPU intensive codec compared to HEVC (h.265).
See this article - section 4 makes for interesting reading.

John, my point was that the Magix documentation (that Ray pointed to, at least), is incorrect. Any Intel (core "i", at least) computer will export AV1, despite claims to the contrary. The speed at which things happen is an entirely different matter.
Hi Al
. . . . Any Intel (core "i", at least) computer will export AV1, despite claims to the contrary . . . .
Agreed, any Intel processor, or AMD, irrespective of GPU can export encode AV1 using software encoding, however for hardware accelerated encoding, Intel Arc and X-Max discrete graphics cards can do this.
None of the Intel integrated GPUs up to and including the UHD 770 and Iris Xe can provide HWA encoding of AV1. Intel list is here.
The Magix documentation Ray posted is correct - an Intel Arc or RTX 4xxx is required for HWA encoding

I have a GEFORCE 1050 Ti, but acceleration never worked out. When I look at taskmanager the CPU is doing al the work seamlessly.
John, point taken.
