How do you render 4k clip in Movie Studio 16 Platinum?

Recorded with the Sony a6400. My recording settings are XAVC S 4K 24p 100m super 35mm at 1/50 shutter speed.

Everytime I finish the clip, its looks choppy, laggy. I save the movie as MP4 resolution at 3840 x 2160.

I search around an I'm still a bit confused. I've changed my "video preferences gpu accleration" to my graphic card NVDIA corporation.

Do I need to render my 4k clip first? I'm still new to using Movie Studio and have never edit a 4k clip before!

What else do I need to change? Thanks!

Edit: computer specs -

That depends on the goal for that video

That is not 4K

This setting has nothing to do with rendering but is only for preview of some effects.

Have you set GPU acceleration to 'Off', do you get the same results?

Are you using 'Advanced options' from the Make Movie (or Render as) and selecting a render format and template? If so, can you post a screenshot of the Template settings you are using?

Also posting your model and driver version of the Nvidia card may be helpful.

I did turn it off and turn it back on and still the same results.

I have not use the 'Advanced options'. I usually select MP4. I don't use the 'Advanced optnios'.

Specs of my laptop is posted!

Also rendering of those effects goes quicker with enabled GPU acceleration.

@MyUsernameIsMyName Thank You for updating your OP to include the system specs. It may be helpful if you also include the driver versions for the NVIDIA GeForce MX150 and Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620. Have you tried to select and test the Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 in GPU acceleration? Was there in difference in the results?

Also you may want to try using the Advanced Options when rendering and try the MAGIX AVC and Template that matches your Project Properties and source media, as well as, try the Sony AVC render format and template for a test results.

You are probably using a proxy file for editing (Preview Quality et to Preview or Draft), does your timeline play smoothly at full 24p?

Normally when you use the MP4 choice of the renderwizard, it automatically renders with the MAGIX AVC 4k rendertemplate, so no need to go to advanced options. Sony AVC has no 4k rendertemplate, it is limited to FHD.

So I switched my GPU to Intel and got a bettter result. I also right clip on the 4k clip on my timeline and went to 'properties' I unclick 'maintain aspect ratio' and 'disable resample'. When I go to 'advanced options' I selected 'magix avc/aac mp4' and proceeded to choose the desire template for my clip. It render really fast (tested it on a 10 sec 4k clip). My timeline does play smoothy at full 24p.
