Smart Render and Smart Copy
Smart Render lowers the demand on the encoder for AVCHD material. In the
production of AVCHD files, only those parts of the movie that were changed in the
program (e.g. by video cleaning or effects) are re-encoded. Please note: The AVCHD
files contained in the movie must have the same format, i.e. the bit rates (variable or
constant), audio formats, image resolutions and video formats must match.

The Smart Rendering special mode „Smart Copy“ enables AVCHD material to be
transferred without having to encode it for the target medium which greatly increases
the encoding speed. The video material cannot appear to have been altered in any
way, only hard cuts (without fades) are permitted. These won't be executed precisely
to the frame, but rather take place at the next GOP borders. For this reason, cuts
should be set somewhat more generously.

Hardware acceleration - Quick Sync Video
MAGIX Movie Edit Pro supports hardware acceleration for AVCHD exports as well as
AVCHD and Blu-ray discs. This can noticeably speed up the encoding process.
• Quick Sync Video: Intel processors starting with „Sandy Bridge“ when using a
standard MPEG-4 encoder (view page 335, view page 331).

Note: Make sure that all the necessary drivers are installed.

If your system does support hardware acceleration, you can activate it in the "Encoder
Settings" dialog under "Advanced..." > "Hardware acceleration".
