Movie Studio Platinum 17

So pardon me if this product is not a Vegas product. To be honest when you run a program and see prompts that say "Vegas Movie Studio" you assume it is a Vegas Product. I found out quick that MS 2022 is not even though it popped up as an upgrade option in MS 17.

Anyway, it seems that MS 17 is not using my GPU as it should. As stated, I found out MS 2022 was not Vegas and honestly, I despise the layout and it lacks some of the abilities of MS 17. What I do like is that when I encoded a video, it used nearly 100% of my GPU and very little CPU. This is just the opposite with MS 17 despite me having the GPU selected in the settings. Is there a trick that I am missing? Is there a particular preset I need to use in order for hardware acceleration to actually work?

You are correct. Movie Studio 2022 is not a VEGAS product, it's a version of Magix Movie Edit Pro, which is quite different. Support for it is not available on this site. However, support for Movie Studio 2022 is available from the Magix user forum at https://www.magix.info/us/video-forum/.

But if you want help with Vegas Movie Studio 17 this is the correct forum.

I am looking for support on VMS 17. I just used MS 2022 as a comparison as it is using GPU acceleration correctly.

Provide details of your system especially what GPU you have plus your source material to start with.

Geforce RTX 3090 and Intel i9-9900k 32gb ram.

Recordings are captured with Nvidia Shadowplay

3840x1600 resolution

MP4 at 48600kbps and 60 frames per second

Both MS 2022 and Vegas Pro take advantage of the GPU. Using telemetry to watch usage. MS 2022 uses over 90% of GPU constantly during the encode and barely any CPU. Vegas Pro flips back and forth between the GPU around 50% and Video Engine 50% and around 30% CPU. MS 17 almost maxes out CPU and around 20% GPU usage.

@RickJameBish As you are aware Vegas MS17 is a discontinued product frozen in time whereas Vegas Pro has moved on and is now two versions later. Magix MS 2022 is also a later programme. You are probably better off trying to improve your GPU experience with Pro rather than VMS17.

Specifically, the 3090 and 9900 were released after VMS 17 reached its end-of-life, so performance is what it is.

Also, if you experience problems with Shadowplay recordings in Vegas, that standing advice is to use OBS. I prefer software encoders.
