I think that's enough diverting from the topic for now 😂😂.

Hahha😆👌🏻 Guys, I've learned a ton of stuff, thanks!

Have not heard from Magix support about the proxies tho...😅

Does anyone know is the proxy bug fixed in the new version of MSS 2023 for example? I think I saw there was new version available.

And hey, someone asked about the export time and AMD drivers, I checked the CPU driver and it was up to date. Export time in 6min30s 4k 30fps video was about 12-15mins with my setup. With the Video ProX14

@CubeAce .... Doom!!

And yes, mixing video types, framerates and resolutions can cause problems for sure in editing and rendering everything out. I rarely use anyone else footage but my own.

@Former user I personally think that proxy editing is important, even if you have a very good computer. And knowing if proxies are being created (and have the option as to where they go), is most important. Not getting an answer from Magix is not good. They can acknowledge the problem and see if there will be a fix down the road.

Also, the only way to compare hardware results is if everyone uses the same project and list their hardware.

Nah. Wolfenstein!!!

Hi there,

Still no answer From Magix about the proxy- problem. I decided to switch back to Movie Studio Suite 2023, since I did not get that much extra value from the Video ProX14. Same Proxy problem in both.

@Reyfox Did you had similar issues or do I remember correctly? I was wondering if you could also contact Magix support about this problem? Maybe they would react if more people contacted them for the same issue.

Waiting for some software updates, or updates about the issue..

Best,

Sami, I think I've found a workaround. Import the first file. Proxy will be created. Import the second file: you'll get the "proxy skipped" message and the file will appear on the timeline. Delete the second file from the timeline. Now, reimport the second file; you should get a proxy, and so on.

Bit of a fiddle but it seems to work here; it might do until head-office gets it's act together.

For me, MMS 2023 is the worst version of Movie Edit pro/MMS Magix has ever put out, even after 4 patches.

Thanks! @AAProds I have to try that out asap.😎 Seems quite good option!

Yeah well my editing needs are still pretty basics so currently I'm doing just fine with the MMS 2023, maybe the ProX14 comes in need someday, who knows!🤔

Yeah I guess we'll have to wait and see for some update on this, hopefully soon though.

I'll let you know did your tip work! Thanks!💪

@Former user what I edit depends whether I use proxies or not. If I know things are going to get complex, yes. If mildly complex no. My computer can hold it's own in me doing almost everything I do with editing. I don't have VPX14, but VPX12. if I have to edit 10bit footage. MEP2022 doesn't handle 10bit sadly.

For those with "average" computers, yes, proxy editing and it's workflow should be smooth. From saying what folders you want the proxies to go, to seamlessly setting things up to do it. I had no problems doing this in VPX12. MEP2022 is different, and doesn't have flexibility that VPX12 has.

Hi, @Reyfox and @AAProds

Thanks Rey for your reply.

AAProds, I tried out your tip, unfortunately, it did not work for me. All the other files get proxys no problem, but not a single clip with the 8:7 aspect ratio... No matter if it's 4k or 5k or 30fps or 60fps.. Sad that these are the ones that I need the proxys most...

Well, I would not want to get any other program just for this one bug, so I'll hope they'll fix this.

Best regards,

-Sami

@AAProds, while I can afford to update yearly (I still won't bother with subscriptions though), I don't unless there is something specific that I want/need to edit. And then I read the comments from early adopters, wait for a few patches, and then decide. But there hasn't been any reason for me to upgrade.

VPX12 is fairly stable (outside of OFX plugins), and MEP2022 works for basic editing for me. But honestly, I'll use VPX before opening MMS/MEP. since I'll edit 10bit video most of the time. Anything I've shot in the few years, it's mostly 10bit. For really complex work, especially compositing, I have other editors, and they work wonderfully with OFX plugins, which are important to me.

Having a "toolbox" of editing software makes editing much easier for me. Each excels in specific areas, but none excel in every area.

Hi all

After doing some digging into the GoPro 11 8.7 aspect ratio video format, it would appear to be a compromise AR for creative content users which enables recording a video once, and from the result create both 16:9 and 9:16 AR videos to fit the various Social media sites and devices.

I suspect that proxies are not created for the 8:7 AR video is because the AR that is supported by the proxy file format. Whether this could be added to the MXV proxy file format I do not know.

@johnebaker, a good point. I was looking at the aspect ratio and it didn't register. I have no go pro footage, so don't know their file formats. I don't know of any other camera the supports that specific aspect ratio.
