CUDA rendering - Movie Studio Platinum 12

JackRabbitDerp wrote on 3/12/2017, 11:42 AM

Hey guys. I'm sorry if I'm in the wrong section but I don't know where to find help otherwise. I currently have a GTX1080 and a good CPU but it still takes about 40 minutes to render a 10minute video in 1080p60fps. I'd like to enable CUDA in Movie Studio Platinum 12 and it tells me that it's available but the moment I start rendering with my GPU it stops and tells me that there is an unknown error. Can someone help me?

 

Small edit: I also just installed the trial version of Movie Studio 14 and it doesn't even show CUDA there. I cannot enable it / test it there.

 

Thanks,

JRD

CUDA rendering is not supported on GTX 600 series or later cards in any Vegas software. And CUDA acceleration of video processing has never been supported. More info in this post: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/faq-graphics-cards-gpu-acceleration-for-vegas-pro--104614/

Okay. That really sucks... is there a way to improve my rendertime? here are my current settings. I have a gtx1080 and a Intel Xeon E5-1650v3 6x 3.50GHz So.2011-3 WOF CPU. It takes me around 40-50 minutes for a 10minute long video where I just cut and put my intro in.

I upgraded from Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum Suite 12 to Magix Vegas Platinum Studio Suite 14 - from a rendering speed, and quality perspective, seems to me like nothing has changed - and the same old limitations as it relates to depending on deprecated hardware is still there.

No X.264, No X.265 support (at least, put the cores to good use using CPU rendering). This is probably the last version I'll be updating to, will have the save some money to go with Adobe Premiere instead if no modernization in the hardware accelerated rendering front happens.

Modern video editing software should be able to use Nvidia's NVENC (Nvidia Video Codec SDK) , AMD's AMF (Advanced Media Framework), or Intel Quick Sync for draft rendering - then for quality, use X.264, or X.265.

I just bought Movie Studio Platinum 14. So you tell me that there's no way to speed up my rendering time? What the actual f.? :I

@NickHope - I have a GTX650Ti. It is recognized by VMS (I haven't had the not recognized issue that others have had with newer cards), and from multiple rendering tests using Sony AVC that at best I only got a 10% performance boost (in VMS 12) using an i3770k (3.5-4.2GHz).
