exporting error (length and audio are fine but footage keeps speeding)

zack-lowery wrote on 12/18/2016, 11:47 PM

I've been using Magix sense 2011, but I've never seen a problem like this. Recently I just put Magix on my new Windows 10 computer and got the MPEG4 addon as the footage from my camera is MPEG4. I tested it out and put the footage in the video and didn't edit it. I exported it twice (as an MPEG4 and an MPEG) with the same result; the file length and audio is the same, but the visual footage itself is sped up and when it ends (which is in the middle of the video itself) it starts in the middle of the footage and keeps repeated until it show the last second repeating and when the audio is done playing.

I think the length itself and the audio are fine, but the footage itself is not. I've never seen this happen before and I don't know why it is. If someone could help me that would be great! Thank you so much!

I use Magix Movie Edit Pro 17 with Windows 10 and my camera is a Samsung WB2100 I got from 2013

UPDATE: I've seemingly fixed the sped issue by fiddling with the rsolution and FPS, but now the footage is coming out choppy. Just like before the audio and video length is the same, but the video itself s choppy. After reseting the resoultion I've come to the conclusion that it may be an issue with the Frames Per Second. It also seems like if I lower the FPS in the exported video, it seems to get a little better. At 59.97 FPS, the video was at it's glitchiest. But going down to 25, things were still choppy but not as bad.

Which version are you currently using and is it patched to the latest patch.

To add to Scenestealers request - what is the video camera make and model?

Also, please use MediaInfo (MI) to analyse a clip, export the results from the Tree view in MI to a text file and copy and paste the results here.

What you are seeing suggests that the video is of variable framerate which can cause issue - the MI information will give us a better idea of what you are dealing with.

. . . . Magix Sense . . . .

There is no such Magix program as this.

I'm not sure. How do I update it or know it's properly updated?

I've been using the same camera sense 2013, a Samsung WB2100.

Also when I said Magix sense 2011, I was saying the I've been using Magix Movie Edit Pro sense the year 2011

I think you mean "Since" not Sense.

Go to Help in the top menu then click on About Magix Movie Edit Pro and in the window that opens you will see a description and Version number e.g. "Magix Movie Edit pro 2014 Premium Version 13.0.5.4 (UDC2)". Please post what you see there.

Assuming you are recording at Full HD (1920x1080 resolution) neither of these settings match the actual framerate of the Samsung camera which records at the following resolutions and framerates

1920 x 1080 (60i), 1280 x 720 (25fps), 640 x 480 (25fps)

If you are recording 1920 x 1080 60i video, which is interleaved video ie 2 fields make one frame, you should be setting the project framerate to 30 fps.

For the other resolutions the project should be set to 25 fps

There is also issues which may arise depending on the nature of the action in the video.

Changing framerates of video can introduce an apparent jerkiness particularly when changing to a framerate that is not an exact multiple of the original video - eg 30 fps down to 25 fps or 25fps up to 30 fps

Watching interleaved video on a computer screen or converting interleaved video to progressive (de-interlacing) can cause jerkiness in playback. This is more apparent when there is fast movement across the screen or in a panning shot.

So long as you export at the same framerate and matching interleaved or progressive as the source video, modern flat screen HD TV's can play back interleaved and progressive video without any issues. Computer screens vary depending on make and model - some are progressive only.

Ok, so I figured out the framebrate of my camera. But when I match the frame rate (30) it's still glitchy and jerky.

But I think Scenestealer might be on to something since my copy of Magix Movie Edit Pro is still at Verion 1.0.0.0 and it's copyright is 2001-2010, but the problem is I don't know how to update it.

What is your computer specification? -Include processor make model, graphics card make/model or chipset used, RAM and free hard drive space.

Is the video glitchy after exporting or just in the Preview monitor?

If in the Preview monitor I suspect that your computer specification coupled with the old MEP 17 will not give smooth playback of 1920x 1080 (Full HD) video, exporting eg as MP4, should OK with smooth playback of the exported file in Windows Media Player, VLC or any other player you use that supports MP4.

MEP 17, while it will run on Windows 10, it is not compatible with Windows 10 and you may have other issues.

MEP 17 has also been out of support for many years.

. . . . Magix Movie Edit Pro is still at Verion 1.0.0.0 . . . .

I assume this is a typo error - MEP 17 is version 10.x.x.x the last update I can find being 10.0.12.2 - if you are not at this version then the last patch (for the Plus version) is available here - you will need to login with the email address and password used to register the software.

Ideally you should update to a Windows 10 compatible version, which has features enabling smoother editing and playback on computers which meet or exceed the minimum specification required.

I do not know the computer specifications as I got it as a rent to own from Aaron's. Also I tried to download the patch but it came up in a different language for some reason.

On another note. I've heard that Sony VEGAS was sold to Magix is this true?
