Magix AV1 rendering issues

Hello,

I have problems with rendering using Magix AV1 codec.

Sometime output file has little size with black video with audio included, but sometimes when I launch rendering it throws me an error and output file doesn't even create.

I mean the latest build.

I can add that I wasn't able to render even one video with Magix AV1 codec.

When I did it via Voukoder, Voukoder AV1 codec file was created sucessfuly.

Do you have the same issues? I render only via CPU and with settings 100 Mbps for Average and another setting.

Regards

Marcin

@marcinzm Hi, Magix Movie Studio (totally different program) says this about AV1, & general talk online there's mentions of the need of Graphics cards that are compatible with AV1, I don't know if this is true with Vegas.

I wouldn't use it in VEGAS due to graphical glitches, sometimes failing to render and not supporting GPU encoding (I think... decoding does work. I don't have a GPU capable of encoding AV1).

HEVC is a similar option without the downsides.

@RogerS Ok. Thank you Roger, but what do you think of AV1 Voukoder codec rendering through Vegas? Is it right choince in comparision to x265? I have 200 Mbps SLOG3 4K 4:2:2 videoes and AV1 Voukoder lets me render up to 100 Mbps. I am not able to increase bitrate to 150 Mbps in AV1 Vokouder (the same as in AV1 Magix Vegas). Does this bitrate maximum limit reduce me quality strongly while using AV1 in Voukoder?

Why do you need such a high bitrate for a file to be delivered? Is it for HDR? Is the original file HEVC or AVC?

If not HDR, 8 bit 420 is ideal and I don't see a benefit of any AV1 over HEVC.
