Anyone had this problem?
Toolbar - the cut bottom randomly disappears, leaving a space
This has happened about 6 times in a week since I first installed.
Solved by closing and re-opening the programme, so not critical, but should not happen

@Mike-Yorkshire Hi, next time it happens get a Full screen capture & share on here using the arrow button at the top of a new comment,
Also can you click your icon at the top of this page - My Profile & fill in your Signature with the full name of your CPU, GPU & amount of RAM, also inc the Windows & Magix version, this will then show at the bottom of your comments, 👍
Correction - My question should have read: "Toolbar - the Cut BUTTON randomly ......"
@Mike-Yorkshire Hi, thanks for filling in your Signature, you wrote '2GB Nvidia GeForce GT Graphics Card.'
your graphics card will have a no' to it, eg. 1030. ?
Editors nowadays use the graphics card & ram as much if not more than the CPU for processing, partly because these parts of a PC are easier to increase/upgrade, your 2GB might be at the lower end or below what's recommended for MS
Magix page says 4GB VRAM https://www.magix.com/gb/video-editing/movie-studio/specifications/#c1477846
Thanks,
Should I change the Program > Device Option > Import, Processing, Export setting from my video card to CPU or Intel integrated graphics or leave unchanged?

Hi Mike.
The graphics card should be OK if you are not using higher resolution video clips. I was using the same card before I swapped my GT 1030 Graphics Card for a more powerful one as it is not that powerful. It was struggling with HD content but worked. Make sure you are seeing the Intel GPU in the program settings. If not you may have to enable it for best performance. If you are only using one monitor you could try plugging the monitor into the motherboard graphics port rather than the nvidia one and see if things improve first.
You will have to do that with the computer switched off. You may even have to reboot the machine a second time for the computer to see the Intel GPU in the bios.
If that works then you could buy a headless ghost to enable the nvidia card as well.
If you are using two monitors then plug one of them into the motherboard monitor output to enable both GPUs.
Having both GPUs enabled will give you the best performance with the program set to use the nvidia card for all processing. Then windows will share the processing tasks between the two GPUs and the vram and motherboard ram more efficiently.
Also before doing all of that visit the nvidia and Microsoft websites and check you are running the latest drivers for your GPUs. That is a must.

Hi
I would suggest changing the 3 options to the Intel iGPU, the GT 1030 is not fully capable of using NVENC for decoding some video formats, h.265 (AVC) and h.265 (HEVC) are supported, for encoding it does not support acceleration for any video formats that can be accelerated.
If this were my PC I would remove the GT 1030 unless it is required for other programs, and replace it with a RTX model GPU - my PC and laptop work well using both the iGPU UHD 630 and a RTX 2060.
Also check the the Intel UHD 770 drivers are up to date - the latest version is 31.0.101.3790/31.0.101.2114 (Iris Xe/UHD series respectively)

Thanks, Ray,
I will stay with video card selected as default - I was not having and obvious slowness with processing.
The Intel GPU comes up as an option, so I presume it is enabled.
I only have one monitor, and my computer instructions state monitor should only be plugged into video card port - so I will stick with that
Mike
Hi
. . . . monitor should only be plugged into video card port . . . .
I assume you mean the port on the GT 1030 as your computer has 2 - the GT 1030, the other on the motherboard for the UHD 770 iGPU.

John,
Yes, port on graphics card
Mike
John,
Thanks for advice on updating Intel drivers - all mine needed updating even though computer was new in Sept 2022
