Hello I am new to video editing and was curious if theres best solution to lower gpu usage when rendering. Currently renders at 80 to 97% max and im worried that it may cause problems in the future. What possible solutions are there?
As long as your CPU has sufficient cooling, it shouldn't be an issue. Do you have a dedicated video card, or is the video built into your CPU? There are options for nVidia graphics cards and built in Intel on-board video to get the GPU to assist with rendering. If you have either of those, is the option turned on?
Meant cpu.. but i do have a dedicated video card. And i dont think i follow, but iv seen videos where people change settings before rendering. I can not make these changes. I am using basic Movie Studio 17. My card I believe is GeForce RTX 2060 Super and also AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8 core for specs.
You need Movie Studio Platinum in order to be able to customise render settings. The basic version is, in my opinion, very restrictive.
Oh ok I see that now. Thank you for help. I guess it would be better to upgrade to Platinum to help my situation? Since the rendering has been my only concern. Also, can I upgrade with a discounted cost or will it still be near full price? I guess too if i upgrade will i still be able to use/ work on older videos or will I need to redo the work on them?
Not sure if the serial number of the basic version, i.e. VMS 17 qualifies for the special upgrade pricing of VMS 17 Platinum. If your purchase is a recent one, you might try and cancel your order and then get the Platinum instead.
And you should still be able to use those .vf projects you've made.
