On the Powerdirector 365 community Forum it was suggested I use this codec for my Powerdirector 365 worklflow, I have a very powerful machine but using Picelan plugins makes the previews over those transitions slow.  I was told this codec would change things.

I have installed the Ultimate Demo, is there anything else I need to do in order for PD365 to be able to smooth out the workflow using this codec or will it simply work because the codec is now installed?

Sorry for the noob questions!

and here is the settings window in windows 10 for the codec magicyuv itself:

Please help me and tell me how I can make it reflect the same settings in windows 10 screenshot setting window to the OBS encoder settings line, it would be a great assistance.

You can download the obs software itself free of charge if you want to experiment yourself and see how it works

Hello, I tried out the trial of MagicYUV in Vegas Pro 13. I have mixed media layered above each other on the timeline, 8 bit RGB image sequences with an alpha channel on top of an 8-bit RGB still image background. On top of all that I have some more tracks with 8-bit 4:2:0 video clips that have been keyed. I want to render the whole composite in 32 bit precision to reduce banding in glow effects I have added, even though my final output will be 8 bit lossless RGB. In Lagarith, this is super easy to do, and I have done this exact thing for years. However, I selected Magic YUV RGB and tried to render the composite but I get an error message. Is it not possible to render something with mixed formats (RGB, 4:2:0, 4:4:4, etc)?

Thanks!

I especially need Resolume Alley to play these files, but when the OS doesn't know the MgicYUV codec, it doesn't work.

Never seen this before and I've been using MagicYUV for quite some time. Most often without audio but several with, too.

The project loads and all the media play without a problem but every time I open the project I get this message. Every single time. No matter what changes I make.

Ring any bells for anyone? VP 17-452

Since I can't upload images here I'll try to link to the Vegas forum content

Thanks a lot!

I'm working on a personal CINE project and was looking to use this codec in my capture rig.  The issue is that when I query codec for its attributes (input RGB32 160x120, output YUV422 160x120), your codec is responding with an invalid header (size: 0) 

This is on a windows 10 machine, with a 32bit build of a custom c# app.   Do you have any documentation on what your expecting from these queries?   The VFW appears to be working for VirtualDub, but not my app.  My code works correctly with Lagarythm and XVID.

Trying ffmpeg –codecs doesn´t seem to identify a magicyuv encoder .Do you know how the encoder can be  called ( c:v magicyuv ?? ) , resolutions and  options supported.? I was interested to try the encoder but I do lack the minimal information needed.

I'm trying to reproduce a capture made with MagicYUV (v2.0.0 for Windows) in the latest version of MPC-HC (1.7.13) and this error appears when loading the file, playing only the audio. I have tried to disable all internal filters but the problem persists:

Any ideas to solve it ?, MPC-HC is my favorite player :-(
