Ray, with respect, that's obviously irrelevant. There has been no suggestion or discussion on 32bit vs 64bit. Could we please stay on topic.

All my forum comments are based on or refer to my System 1.

My struggle is over! I built my (now) system 2 in 2011 when DV was king and MPEG 2 was just coming onto the scene and I needed a more powerful system to cope. Since then we've advanced to MP4 and to bigger and bigger resolutions. I was really suffering, not so much in editing (with proxies) but in encoding, which just took ages. A video, with Neat Video noise reduction applied, would encode at 12% of film speed. My new system 1 does the same job at 160% of film speed. Marvellous. I'm keeping my old system as a capture station for analogue video tapes and DV.

Hi

. . . . Movie Edit Pro Plus 16, and since recently migrating to Windows 10 . . . . the "Image size/position" and "Section" functions are not working properly. They used to kinda work together in Win 7 though very cranky.. . .

The internals of Win 10 are so different from 7 that a lot of old software is rendered obsolete.

Versions of Movie Edit Pro up to, and including, MEP 2014 can have issues on Windows 10.

. . . . Probably time for a new PC as well as new software :) . . . .

I would agree with this.

If you do get a new computer, the most issue free combination of CPU and graphics card is an Intel processor generation 10 or later with UHD 630 or better integrated GPU, and a Nvidia GPU - GTX 1650 minimum, preferably an RTX 20 or 30 series.

Magix Movie Studio, it is Movie Edit Pro rebranded, will be relatively familiar to you there are some difference in layout and a major change in the Size, Position and Rotation effect - it now one effect and has more features.

Thanks John, very useful info. I've gone ahead with the purchase of the software upgrade anyway, as I want to get this project finished, but you're recommendations on the hardware much appreciated for future reference.
