How to Render 1080p Video in Movie Studio Platinum 13

[@Manda4Jolie]

I feel like I've been trying to find a proper tutorial for this for the last two years but finally I've found it! Thank you for going at a normal pace and doing clear, easy-to-understand voice instructions and explaining the why's and how's.

[@MovieStudioZen]

This is a bit out of date now...Which exact version of Vegas are you using ?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

You answered like a hundred questions I had, thanks so much.

[@SgtFluffyCat]

Really amazing job on the video, I really liked how you went into detail with options and your explanations were clear.

[@MovieStudioZen]

Cheers :)

[@wolfenix4576]

just wanted to say thank you for your help. since Sony moved across to Movie Studio i have had so many issues with rendering, i preferred how Sony Vegas Pro was programmed, but never the less this has really helped me, thank you.

[@DrFakerYuGiOh]

As a beginner to video editing in general I thank you a lot, the program has several settings that I would not think of. Your bluntness as to what is useless/bullshit is also great. Thanks much man.

[@MindFiend]

This is a really good tutorial. It is easy to follow and you take it at a nice pace while explaining each feature and why you use it. I'd been having trouble getting 1080p videos right with movie studio but this guide has helped immensely. Very much appreciated, thank you.

[@07swebb]

This helped so much! I was getting so confused with all the other bullcrap "quick user settings" thanks for showing how easy it is to render then upload

[@majorbrighton]

Truly great help, many thanks. This was the affordable work flow for many I believe.

[@TheSunIsMyDestroyer]

thank you so much dude, I was so happy the first time I actually see real detail not just blurred pixels! !

[@MovieStudioZen]

Glad to help :)

[@That-riyadh-gamerBlogspot]

I was browsing for some video reviews of similar editing products and i stumbled on your channel. You're a great help.

[@LLPsychosisLL]

It worked the second time thank you so much .. I didn't know my drivers or graphics card couldn't handle that much kind of GPU processing

[@SlowerIsFaster139]

thank you so much. i have been having troubles rendering and this completley solved the issue

[@MovieStudioZen]

Cool :)

[@liirha]

Thanks for this video! I was lost on making videos in KZbin quality before I found your guide.

[@marylizabetha]

This was really straight forward and easy to follow!

[@MovieStudioZen]

Thanks :)

[@LuanSalama]

It helped me a lot. I was trying to reduce the rise of the final video, and tank of you i got it ^^

[@MoroccanDelight]

Great videos, i am new to video editing, however your tutorial its so perfect i have watched others youtubes, but they are not as good as yours, the way you make it for beginners. THANKS :)

[@MoroccanDelight]

:)

[@nox_rayne]

This video is absolutely helpful! Thank you so much!

[@filipjohansson1179]

Thank you dude! You are a fantastic person who are helping people like this :)

[@TheJamSpring]

Nice video! I like your style of explaining. Subscribed to you channel and your website. Keep up the good work :)

[@CastlesForEyes]

Great video! Cleared up a few things for me and brought a good few more to my attention. Thanks.

[@CastlesForEyes]

Great, thanks for that. I was considering lately shooting certain things at those frame rates, so that's good to know. Thanks again. I've subscribed, so I'm looking forward to learning more. Cheers.

[@GuenevereSchwien]

Great video. Very helpful for new and returning users. Thanks!

[@LivingFree207]

So we used our GoPro and I did what yo suggested and converted into .avi that is in GoPro software then I transfered to Sony. I'm still having same problem as my last 2 videos(not gopro) Where it is laggy. I tried doing proxy but it stopped at 94%. IS there a way to find my video BEFORE I rendered it? Once it rendered it became laggy even though I used 1080 and followed directions. I have all the setting you mention in this video. What other options do I have. If you look at last 2 video you see what I mean. I don't want to put up another video looking like this. I m so frustrated and sad I can't fix this. I don't know what else to do. Any other ideas? I'm sorry I'm such a pain but it's just not working for me :( THank you. Melody

[@ryandcaldwell]

Thank you so much for this video. I was wasting so much time using the section for "turkeys" and wondering why the video took forever to render and was choppy as a result. Should have known to check with you first!

[@dannyboykingster]

I just gotta say I was in a bad place with all this and you got me out!! Thank you so much I was told to get programs and stuff and it was very confusing.

[@GamerDadTV]

Thank u sooo much for this VID... question, how do i change the margins so it looks good on Tik Tok , phones?> Thanks again

[@MovieStudioZen]

Which exact version of Vegas Movie Studio are you using?

[@poogieswithkeyblades4507]

I didn't know I could apply my graphics card to make rendering progress go faster lol Thank you sooooooo much!

[@Monica.monroee]

I already made the video and saved it but when I uploaded it to youtube the video quality was 360, I tried to go back and change the quality to 1080 how do I fix it ? like my 5th time uploading

[@Monica.monroee]

thanks sooo much, you was actually correct ! my video is now 1080 hp. :)

[@DorkNinjaGaming]

Thank you so much, you have helped me tremendously with my Movie Studio adventures.

[@Trippy_Times]

you DID save me from losing my damn mind I honestly could not for the life of me figure out how to render the damn video LOL. Thanks a bunch!

[@MovieStudioZen]

Cheers :)

[@MovieStudioZen]

***** If you did not match your media settings and used a different frame rate to what you recorded with, that can make playback jump around. I guess you recorded at 60fps. If you did, you should watch my tutorial for rendering to higher frame rates. If you are capturing gameplay that is jumping all around, this is very difficult to encode for KZbin. Use much higher Bit Rate settings, however this will also produce much higher file sizes.

[@spilledinkcinema]

Great help! What does using Dolby Digital AC-3 Studio format give you?

[@MovieStudioZen]

This is the output format you use for making DVDs only.

[@clonnygames]

thank you for this great video!

[@MovieStudioZen]

Thanks :)

[@salisburyplain998]

Cheers Derek just upgraded to 13 as need the 4k editing bit and once again you have it covered ,I do have a question that you may or may not be able to answer ,My nephew uses final cut pro x which costs a fortune but I can,t see it makes that much difference to vids uploaded to youtube ?.

[@BerlinerBaerenCrew]

Great work, helped a lot.

[@dmac5x1]

Another great tutorial, thanks!

[@MovieStudioZen]

:)

[@ScorpiusBF]

I know that you made video similar to this one for Vegas, but could you please make short tutorial about how to render game clips? I did not know that simply disable resampling makes clips look way better. Keep aspect ratio or not? Most capture cards record 1080 in 30 fps, I have just seen another "tutorial" with advice to make it 59.94? Etc etc. Thanks in advance.

[@TheApacheKing]

Hi Derek, after I've made a customized render template, can I add a shortcut to it or do I have to go to customized template each time I render a video to select it? What I mean is: when you first go to Make Movie, it shows up a few options. Is there a way I can show up my custom template?

[@TheApacheKing]

***** Oh, ok thanks for the reply.

[@Fog37]

I just rendered a 5 minute video using your settings. It took a while on CUDA. Would it be faster using CPU only or is it just the length of the video file? I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660. I built my computer from scratch 3 years a go.

[@MovieStudioZen]

A GTX660 will not help accelerate rendering times. It is probably best to try CPU only. This forum thread will explain in more detail for you: www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/faq-graphics-cards-gpu-acceleration-for-vegas-pro--104614/

[@Fog37]

Thank you for your quick response.

[@lastgoodmilkpig]

Thanks for the tips, still learning how to edit so this should help a lot

[@lastgoodmilkpig]

+Movie Studio Zen I may bug you in the future lol

[@lastgoodmilkpig]

Will do, thanks

[@LivingFree207]

I followed directions but the last 2 videos on youtube I put up are soooo pixely and blurry. What am I doing wrong? :( I'm still new (2 months old on using this). I use your videos every time I edit :) Help!

[@LivingFree207]

***** I have an older video I renedered and it is still blurry like the ones I put up. I guess I'll keep trying. I do render it in 1080p....I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Wish you were sitting next to me lol :) Thanks for your great videos. I hope I figure it out.

[@LivingFree207]

***** Thank you! I'll try this. You are like the King of editing. We just LOVE your videos. We got Ric a GoPro Hero4 Black for his birthday today....so he is going to learn to use it. They say it comes with an editor. Do you think we should edit o that first then put it on my Sony or just put video directly on my sony movie studio platinum 13? Thanks. Melody

[@LivingFree207]

***** Thank you so much. We are playing the new GoPro we gave Ric for his birthday today :) Melody

[@alanmacher9073]

I have the same problem. Where are his answers to your inquiries?

[@LivingFree207]

Alan Macher That is weird. They aren't here. What I did was right click on the video clip then click on "Swtiches" then cliecked on Disemble Resample. It works. I do this step before I start editing. I stick the one big clip on the timeline then do this step. Then start cutting stuff out I don't want. It's easier and faster that way. It makes it more clear. I do not know what "Disemble resample" means but it works lol :)

[@MichelleRother]

I just have to point out how positively brilliant you are ! I've watched several of your flicks so far and they have helped a bunch. You even some how manage to make me chuckle, even during such a techie topic :-) -- Going to try this rendering method you've taught here since I originally clicked render directly to YT and it only upload one - yes ONE frame from my video WTH ? Again thank you for taking the time to make these videos! #nottechsavvy

[@XONXRaptor]

***** thank you help me alot

[@Parabellum-tt5ki]

This was such a helpful video! Cheers.

[@JorisScrolls]

Thank you again for your insightful how to videos on Movie Studio +Movie Studio Zen. I was wondering, can I create a video with a 720p cam video and a 1080p background video (a game) rendered at 1080p for KZbin? What kind of result will this combination give me? Thus, two videos on the time line. One 720p, one 1080p, simultaneously. What will happen? Thanks again, Kammellion

[@JorisScrolls]

What will happen to the small cam frame in the upright corner if that is on 720p?

[@JorisScrolls]

Ah yes, I always render in 60fps. I can put my facecam to record on 480p, 720p or 1080p. The higher the setting, the less fps I get. But I still want the quality of my facecam to match the main, background video (of the game itself).

[@JorisScrolls]

Really? I have been messing up then, I could go for 480p then as well. Thank you very much!

[@yeah2224]

Awesome video! I'm currently editing a video, and it was going fine. But one of my videos only shows half of the video and on the editing box the bar for the video is green/white.

[@PICGamingDuckSets]

Awesome Awesome Awesome! thanks so much!

[@MakaLetizia]

OH GOD, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH YOU HELPED! THANKS!!! MUCHAS GRACIAS!!

[@M0NkEyP0o]

thanks helped me a lot

[@jaeger7561]

thank you so much this video was a life saver!!!

[@02bigkev]

Great info. I'm thinking of upgrading to this version.

[@CessSim]

great video and well explained. Thanks heaps !!!

[@BeginnersTech314]

ok so what happens when you have 2 or more videos with different frame rates. for example my gopro does 29.97 fps and my computer does 30 fps. in other programs this messes up the audio. i want to make sure that it won't mess up the audio befor i buy this. also great video if i get the this program i will be referring back to this to get started.

[@BeginnersTech314]

most of the time it is but when i checked the actual fps my gopro does 29.97 and my computer does 30. when i put these videos in my (free) video editing program it messes up the audio. so i want to make sure before i buy this program that it will not mess up the audio.

[@FearlessFlourish]

does this apply to movie studio 14 platinum?

[@MovieStudioZen]

Yes.

[@Dukkir6]

and also to the normal movie studio 14?

[@MovieStudioZen]

That I do not know, because I have never used the basic version. What I do know is that you cannot customize templates in the basic version - only in Platinum.

[@Dukkir6]

cheers bud, going to buy the platinum 14 one, using trial atm to test it out, and i like it. going to buy it when trial ends :). Great stuff on helping people like me. Keep it up! Cheers

[@mrred3206]

Hey, I have an i5 Devils canyon prossor with the gtx 970. I'll usually have an intro, two/three clips of game play (with overlay webcam via shadowplay) outro and I also pan audio left and copy it and pan right. A 10/15min video takes me 45mins to an hour... Thought...?

[@MovieStudioZen]

What is the exact model number for your CPU ? Go to Control Panel/System to find out. Your rendering times are not that bad really, considering what you have in your project.

[@mrred3206]

my rig says. gpu gtx 970 cpu i5-4690k @ 3.50GHz 16 GB ram Windows 10 and im currently rendering my new video of a 18 min gameplay of Depth (shark game) with pan left right audios, shadowplay capture (with cam overlay) and i added a border to my cam. intro/outro. will link when its done. 80 mins total for rendering WITH cuda......

[@MovieStudioZen]

You have a great computer! Considering what is your project, your render times sound normal to me. If you only have one hard drive, that could be a bit of a bottle neck, because it is having to read and write at the same time. Added on top of that, it is having to play back two video streams at the same time of the same drive. Have you ever tried rendering with Intel Quick Sync ? If you select Sony AVC/MVC and customize a template, you can set the ENCODE mode to Intel Quick Sync. If your computer is configured to use this, (some are not) you may see faster rendering speed.

[@Gilli34]

Thanks man helped a lot!

[@MovieStudioZen]

Cheers :)

[@missypawz1376]

Thanks so much dude!

[@ZekeHessenberger]

Thank you so much you answer every question I have I tried calling Sony but they wouldn't even try to help me

[@johnmccarthy5827]

Hi Derek - Great tutorials, however I have two Sony HDR-XR550 cameras, one is NTSC the other Pal and so end up with two video streams of different formats, my question - which project setting to use for the best result.

[@johnmccarthy5827]

***** Thanks for the advice. I live in the UK and bought the first XR550V (advertised as PAL) on ebay about 4 years ago and loved it's simplicity, I then got involved with a theatre group and took video of performances - however one was not enough and I again looked to ebay and the second was a XR550VE, I should have known better four years ago!

[@donpedroelbuey8151]

About 8 1/2 minutes in to this video you are demonstrating the box with a ton of format options. You selected "Internet HD 1080p". If, after rendering to my hard drive my goal is to make a DVD, which would be the best option? Thanks!

[@MovieStudioZen]

[@AdrianDAmico]

great help, thank you

[@BrianCox]

Thanks for the video. My create video proxy is grayed out. It is an mp4 file, format AVC 1920x1080. Shot in 4k on a Sony device. Any advice? Thanks.

[@BrianCox]

***** Thanks for the response. I'm sorry, I am more a photography guy just dabbling in some 4k video now. I rechecked my camera settings. They are 4k. My problem arose when I imported the MP4 into Adobe Lightroom. It looks like Lightroom dumbed down the video to 1920x1080. After a straight copy to HDD from the SD card I now have a MP4 file 3840x2160 in Movie Studio 13. When I said "grayed out" I mean I can see the place to click "create video proxy" but it is non-clickable. I looks like you answered that problem above by saying that it is automatically done with 4k video. The preview window improved after making those changes. Thanks for your help.

[@ScottishBattleAxe]

Thanks for another informative video. I get that KZbin will only do 30fps but I want to keep my locally saved version at 60fps. Is there any disadvantage to uploading to YT at 60fps? Will it result in even worse quality than if I uploaded a 30fps file? Thanks

[@slomotrainwreck]

That's a really interesting question, I've wondered about it myself. If I was really ambitious and have the time (I don't), I'd do a test of KZbin's re-rendering by uploading a small video with some fast moving action at both 60 & 30 fps and compare the two. I've heard both good and bad about KZbin's re-rendering but have never gotten around to testing.

[@ScottishBattleAxe]

***** I thought fps didnt affect file size?

[@ScottishBattleAxe]

***** I'm a novice with all this but my simple test, and a ton of info I read online indicated that the only thing to noticeably affect file size is the bit rate. On my test the same file rendered to 60fps = 180Mb, to 30fps = 178Mb. Please enlighten me if there's something I'm not getting, as I said, I'm new to this.

[@EarthgardenGarden]

hi I just got sony movie studio platinum 13how do we get into the movie studio platinum window thanks

[@STONECOLD1987]

ok now does this convert video clips that are in 240 to 360 quality to a much higher 720 to 1080??

[@jolar1985]

Do you think this setup is good with the as100vr action cam

[@ThePrelude976]

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT... THANK YOU SO MUCH... :)

[@MovieStudioZen]

Cheers :)

[@DanThorpeGuitar]

I have followed these tips and the video looks great when rendered but it takes so long. A 10 minute movie comes out at 955mb and takes 1 hour to render for me at these settings? Is this usual? Is there a way to make this faster?

[@DanThorpeGuitar]

Thanks for your response. I didn`t use any video effects - only effects on the audio track, such as the noise gate, compression, and eq. Should I try turning these off to speed it up? My CPU is intel quad core Q8200 GPU ATI Mobility Radeon Hd 4500.5100 Series Ram 4gb

[@DanThorpeGuitar]

OK, thanks. I will try that. Also, I have looked but can`t find any info on increasing the speed it takes to upload a video to youtube. Does my older pc effect file size? Should a 10 minute video really be nearly 1gb when using your recommended settings? I ask as when uploading to YT, it says it will take 213minutes!

[@DanThorpeGuitar]

Ok, thanks for helping me out. Is there a useful tool to compress the video to make upload times faster without reducing video quality, or `should I grin and bear it` with upload times?

[@Layarion]

you article needs updating. didn't include 59.94 option. i need help with a question, if my Source is at 60fps, what do i loose when sony doesn't allow me to render higher than 59.94?

[@PaulAdamssongs]

Very good. More options than I needed at end, but you are very good. Thanks !! I'm still not sure what is best to render to make a DVD w/ Nature Scenes (I'm in usa). But, one step at a time!! My GF is Sydney.... where are you?

[@PixelAdventure]

[@MovieStudioZen]

[@Nethender]

This vid is danker than the dankest memes

[@kaznec]

thanks for the video! probably a dumb question but is for a 10 minute video is 800 Megabytes a normal file size? should i be doing anything to reduce that before uploading it?

[@Daniel-rj7bc]

Hello and thank you for all the great tutorials. I have beginning making KZbin videos of Overwatch and I play Overwatch on Ultra 60fps 1080p. I use shadowplay 1080p60fps (50mb) (GTX980) and when I'm editing the video in Movie Studio it looks OK. after rendering and playing it in VLC looks OK. but on KZbin when it's completed 1080p60fps it doesn't look as HD as when I recorded/watched after rendering. I render with Cuda. 59.94000 fps and 50mbs. is KZbin to blame or my movie studio? other youtubers Overwatch videos are really HD. using main concept avc

[@MovieStudioZen]

KZbin does super compression on all videos uploaded to reduce file sizes to absolute minimum. There is nothing you can do about this.

[@99IRocks]

Hey Derek, I got a question, how do I render the loop region only using the advanced options rendering? Thanks in advance, Thomas

[@99IRocks]

***** Ahh! You're a hero! And with what program do you record, because I have the current problem: I tried multiple recording programs: - Dxtory - Fraps - Action But the problem is, dxtory doesn't give me enough fps (I want 60) But it does split the audio (microphone and windows sounds) Fraps doesn't split the audio but gives me 60 fps. Action gives me 60 fps, and splits the audio but...: When I put the files into movie maker it takes a couple of minutes before building peaks is done. When I'm using fraps and dxtory I don't have this problem.. I hope you can help me out, but if you don't have Action then I don't think you know what the problem is :p. Thanks a lot for the solution you gave me and I hope you can give me another solution :) Thomas

[@99IRocks]

***** Oh okay cool, but I'm not sure if OBS supports multiple audio streams? (microphone and gamesound splitted)

[@GalvasPlay]

great, this was very helpfull xD I just got MSP this week and the process and interface are all still the same, only thing I would suggest is that you put a note stating that KZbin now accepts videos in 60fps, so I had to set that manually because that option was not on the dropdown list Is there any link where I can understand the difference between the Main Concept AVC and the Sony AVC or windows media? Are they different implementations of H.264?

[@GalvasPlay]

***** Thanks a lot, I'll try to tinkera bit with those. I'll be surprised if Quicksync is faster than CUDA xD

[@TymonaVideos]

thanks man. really helped me out

[@SbgamingTv]

How do you set the default folder that the video will render to. I created one project where I have it Rendering to a specific folder, while a number of my other projects render to a subfolder within the folder where the project file is saved, but I don't remember how I configured it to render to that specific folder.

[@SbgamingTv]

***** That's rather odd behavior, but it did work. For some of those projects I was indeed setting the output folder in the first window as well as the second folder, but apparently for that one project I hadn't, and therefore had no need to change it in future episodes in the series where I "save as'd" the previous project file to create a copy of the new one... It'd be nice if this was just simply a default output option where if you wanted to you could just specify as desired location where you want files to be rendered to, if you don't want to use the programs default location. I've done about 30 videos in the last two weeks and I've had this issue on about half of those videos, so it was getting rather irritating that I had to change the location for those videos where it wasn't outputting to the usual folder. Thanks for the help.

[@alanmacher9073]

I've been trying to render a video for the past month and haven't been able: it comes out jittery like the person below states. I filmed with my Iphone 5S and was able to upload a video to youtube a few months ago with far less problems. How do I set the video to constant frame rate like you state below?

[@MovieStudioZen]

If you are using video from an iPhone, you need to use a Video Conversion program and convert video to Constant Frame Rate before importing into Movie Studio. There are large number of Video Converters you can try. Handrbrake.fr has highest quality converter available.

[@MovieStudioZen]

If you have the Platinum version, you should only be using the Platinum version now and not the basic! To open a project in the CORRECT version, you need to open manually. Open Movie Studio Platinum 13 and go to Project/Open - then navigate to your Movie Studio projects folder and open the project you want to work on. iPhone video is problematic for just about all Video Editing programs, because Apple being Apple has to do everything differently. If iPhone recorded at a constant frame rate there would not be a problem. Everyone has the same problem on Windows computers. On a Mac they make it easier.

[@ThornBoyz2207]

I have a bunch of gopro footage I won't be editing until sometime in the future. in order to save space what would be a good format to cut them down to? some are recorded using protune.

[@muaythai4lifelife]

Thanx Dex! That's clear, yes I searched for old tutorials of yours in fact, to remind me the settings, ok. So ( just to know it), if you want to do the old way, you simply have to set the proprieties manually and then say no when the program asks you to match the video to the project settings, right? By the way I guess there is no need to do it anymore, better using the modern and fast way ;) thanx and keep it making tutorials for us :) ciao!

[@TheLedzeppfan]

are the bonus video effects/transitions worth getting the suite? Thanks

[@SyncF]

Hey! I was in to buy the Platinum Suite version and upgrade from my Platinum 11 version. I wanted to know if you can render 2k video with it (something x 1440p) thank you for the tutorial!

[@SyncF]

***** Appreciated my friend. I also noticed my old GT 545 was supported by Vegas but my 750Ti isn't and apparently the 980 and the 900 series isn't. Unfortunate, but anyways i'll try to upgrade through Platinum Suite 11, Sony might give me a discount or something lol, thanks again.

[@MrPTkruzerPLayGames]

Ok so as I understood, If i make a gameplay which usually has 10-15 gb i can render it to way smaller sises and now upload it to youtube or was I wrong?

[@frey0r]

Great tutorial. If only KZbin wouldn't mess with the quality of my files. It looks much worse after YT processing. :(

[@theguardianoftruth3533]

Hey Derek, if I had a standard definition or dvd quality video in my project that I wanted to burn to blu ray disc, could that be done? Or would I have to render it to high definition before doing so?

[@furiousflannel1673]

Should I shrink my files before rendering? Will that increase the render speed, or should i just let Movie Studio do everything?

[@dillonolivi5371]

I'm having issues uploading my video to youtube. I've edited it and it's ready, but I have the Movie Studio Platinum 13 blue icon'd video, and then a file of the video in my folder. But neither work because they're not compatable at all. Is there a way to turn my edited version to an mp4 or something? I have windows 8, so it's different...maybe?

[@Accolades70]

Upgrading from 12 to 13 I think is worth it for the rendering options and speed increase in editing. Especially when dragging and dropping video from directories on your PC to the timeline. Looking forward to more videos on editing and using V13. Have you done any work with 4K yet? MY GoPro 3+ Black now produces 4K in 15FPS so may have a play.... :-) ps Changing my Ram for 4GB back to 200MB DID increase render times for a video length of 7min 24sec from 12min 48sec to 11min 05sec.

[@Accolades70]

What are you going to play it back on that would do it justice?? $30K plus TV ?

+Movie Studio Zen thank you!

I'm trying to do Sony AVC. When I go check GPU it says no GPU available. I have a GTX 980. Quite a bit of wasted potential right now :/ Just to clarify GTX 980 is selected in the preferences right at the start of the video.

KiwiPowerNZ I have a new GTX 960 which I bought just for this, and like you, I found out it is not supported. Apparently Sony will not support cards that use Maxwell technology. I have just asked the Movie Studio Zen what is the best graphic card I can buy that will still be recognized by this software. Sony refused to give me a list of supported cards. (Adobe Premier does have one).

[@KiwiPowerNZ]

fabitas Yeah it's annoying, even more so for you because you bought the card just for rendering. I bought mine for gaming, so I'm not going to change to an old card just for rendering. CPU renders take almost an hour and the whole time I can't do any video editing and there's not really any CPU power left over to play a game while I'm waiting. All I can do is browse videos -_- I still have my old card, a 1GB Radeon 4870. I wonder how fast it would have rendered in OpenGL. I guess i'll never know.

After i Render my videosthe rendered video plays back with fps lags and drops throughout. " choppy " but the raw footage of clips play back absolutely perfectly. any idea whats causing this? recorded at 30fps then rendered using all options you pointed out in this video with the same result for all. any help is appreciated thank you!

[@MovieStudioZen]

1. Where did your original source video come from ? If it came from a mobile phone, that would be the cause of the problem and I can tell you how to fix that. 2. If you rendered the video with a "crazy high" Bit Rate, that can also cause this problem. If you need further help, I recommend you post your problem on my forum here: www.moviestudiozen.com/forum/index

thanks bro you got a like from me

2 Quick Questions. 1. I have a habit of converting all video taken in MP4 format converted to AVI before editing in Sony. Is this necessary? 2. A 1min 46sec 4K (3840 x 2160dpi) video is 569,639kb(MP4) and 4.762gb(AVI) at 12.5fps.!! how can I accurately stretch this to a 25fps PAL setting on the timeline? Would this be your option?

[@Accolades70]

I use the Cineform software to convert yes. It Fixes up the edges of the video. I do not us ProTune. I suppose I could test. I do use one of the color correction features of Sony software for color correction.

Hey! It's been a long time, but I have a new question. I just got a Sony 4K camcorder, and I was wondering if you have any videos (similar to this one) showing how to render a video in 4K and not lose the quality (in Platinum 13)? I tried watching someone else's video, but it left me with more questions than answers.

[@MovieStudioZen]

Make sure you have installed build version #987, which was the final build version ever released for VMSP13. Go to Help/About to find what you have now. If you don't have #987, enter your Serial Number here and download/install. www.magix.com/us/support/my-service-center/product-downloads/ Someone on my forum has asked the same question as you. Please read my reply here, which will show you what to do. www.moviestudiozen.com/forum/movie-studio-platinum/2219-my-4k-video-edit-looks-worse-on-youtube-than-my-1080#11223

In reference to Proxy Video Creation I noticed in your preview window you have the setting of “Best Half” rather than the default “Preview (Auto)”. Does your setting also help produce a smoother play back? Also, if you “Add Media” as your project progresses should you then also do a Proxy on that clip or picture?

[@alanmaynard3597]

Derek, thanks I am in rough editing of 4 clips totaling 14G and it is getting a bit jittery. I will be lowering the Preview setting. Again, Thanks Alan
