Since you are on a tight budget and know what you want to do, why don't you download a free trial of Cyberlink Power Producer. They have 2 versions. This is a very simplified version of PowerDirector.
Thank you for the response and the suggestion. I will try it out (although it SEEMS like it is geared toward creating DVDs / blueRay, and my projects will end up on the web - motly hosted by youtube or vimeo).
Thanks again.
PD works very well with video's posted on youtube. At this point, that is all I do is 4K game video's on youtube.

Hello all,
I recently replaced my 5 years old PC with a Windows 10 based PC running an Intel i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHZ, 15.92 GB RAM (usable) with a NVIDIA GeoForce GTX 980 video card.
I would love to hear experiences you may have while changing the PD 14 HARDWARE ACCELERATION PREFERENCES by enabling/disabling the two possible options.
I have been playing for a while with these options on both a small and a large clip. Although this is not a 'test' I cannot see any difference.
Any feedback?
Thanks!
Ignacio
when disabled, my CPU does most of the stress on my system. When my 980 is enabled, the GPU does the work (140F/60C, and the CPU is taking a nap (15-25% usage)
A difference? I always enabled hardware doing 4K gaming video's

What is the video you are editing?
|
|
|
"Prior to formatting, the software was working pretty good"
Could be the reinstall of your OS. Try reinstall PD14
From what you stated, the format messed things up. Have you added/install your prior files and drivers for your system? Windows updates? don't know your os tho.
Update drivers? Motherboard, audio, video, visual C++, DirectX, NetFramework??

Try this
The PDR.exe,
right click,
RUN AS ADMIN
|
|
|
|
Why can you not go into the BIOS and disable integrated video? Then your video card is only one available?

- M5000 is a waste of money for this purpose.
Get the GTX960 - it has the latest hardware decoder/encoder (NVENC block) from nvidia. Or wait for the GTX1070. This NVENC hardware block (ASIC) is separated from the CUDA cores and it has a huge importance in the final encoding process. That's the Hardware Acceleration that is used in PD14.
Note that the final product has to be encoded in either H264 or H265 to benefit from the embedded hardware encoder.
SVRT is a different approach compared to HA , when the video content and format is left unchanged, it just "skips" the video portion that was not touched, it doesn't use the GPU at all. But you are manipulating the videos so that will not work.
- For those tests that you saw, they didn't include any editing, just pure encoding. So it does not tell anything about how the CPU performs with the effects that you are planning to apply. The GPU (the actual CUDA cores this time) can be used for some of the effects in PD14, but not for all of them. A six core CPU will help a lot with those effects that you are planning. That Xeon is only a 4 core and has a Passmark benchmark of only 10303. Not a best buy IMO. My first generation Xeon X5670 (6 core) has a PassMark of 12747 and workstations with one or even TWO of those can be foud very cheap on eBay, compared to a new PC. Look for a Dell T7500 for example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Precision-T7500-2x-Xeon-X5670-2-93ghz-Hex-Core-48gb-2x-1tb-Win7-Pro64-/231948228863?hash=item36013118ff:g:fhQAAOSwXshWquJR
- SSD used for video storage are not only a waste of money but they will also die soon. The video editing and encoding process outputs data at a very slow speed (like 12MB/s). And even reads are not very stressful - a video with 100Mbps datarate equals only to 12.5MB/s read speed. Even a slow laptop HDD can easily handle that, there is no benefit to gain from moving that storage on a SSD. Or even from separating the input from the output, those events (read video - convert video - write video) are not concurent. If you really want something decent, get 3 HDD and a hardware RAID controller and install those HDD in a RAID 5 configuration - resulting capacity will be 2/3 of the total but you will have redundancy and increased speed for copy operations (outside of PD14 processing)
Sonic, very good information and reading, thanks 
I might add when I was in my first month of PD14 I tested the same 4K Gaming video with 1-M.2 Samsung 941, 2-Samsung 840 SSD, and a 5TB Tosiba hard drive. None of these hard drives made any difference in the speed to complete the "produce" final step.

This product lookes good.but im looking to reduce the render time.
can anyone tell me if SVRT will work with the following:
video format = mp4 (h264+aac) or ts (h264+aac)
video format = 1920x1080 // lots of others to use if this wont work
video bit rate = 60.0 mbps // lots of other choices
audio bitrate = 60 kbps // lots of choice here
frame rate = 30 // lots of choice here too
thank you for your help.
video bit rate = 60.0 mbps // lots of other choices
YOUR bit rate is off the charts!! Your setting is higher than 4K game videos @ 30fps
recommended by youtube: 1080p/8 Mbps/30 frames per second
audio bitrate = 60 kbps // lots of choice here
Stereo = 384/5:1 = 512 kbps
You too low. where u get your numbers from?

"I was used to Mpeg 4 1920x1080/30p (16Mbps) in PD12"
You have the exact same settings in PD14. When you go to "produce" create a custom "Profile name/Quality" and change the settings to what ever you like including your exact same PD12 settings

"Monitor BenQ Monitor XL2411Z 144HZ via DVI"
Just an observation, not solution. Your fastest connection to Video card to monitor is HDMI. Much better than "DVI"
Might make a difference in 3D games?

" MSVCR110.dll"
This file is part of Microsoft Visual C++. Try updating both 32bit and 64bit directly from Microsoft.

|

Don't know what you are doing?
Don't know your settings?
Don't know anything other than your 8GB RAM maybe too low. But depends on what you are doing.
My PDR.exe (PD14 exe) can bounce over 5GB at times. That is just one file. System RAM usage 7-8GB when processing video.
How much RAM usage, CPU Usage and GPU usage during your crash?

I have been fiddling with this file from my DJI Phantom Standard, but can seem to get a good result for Direct Facebook upload etc...
I know its a bit washed out anyway, as sun not out etc...
But still, struggling with getting this kind of file to look ok.
1920x1080 29.97fps, 3.0Mbps bitrate
Original file should be able to be accessed here, in my dropbox - https://www.dropbox.com/s/geldzet38fwavbn/DJI_0008.MP4?dl=0
And it would seem you would have to download/save the file - as it is shit if you play it in the dropbox player.
youtube recommends
Video Bitrate, Standard Frame Rate (24, 25, 30)
1080 - 8 Mbps
High Frame Rate (48, 50, 60)
1080p 12 Mbps

"I have saved projects with multiple versions (someone recommended that in a video) in order to go back to previous versions for issues such as this -- but this time I did NOT"
By default, your project is saved every 10 mins. This what you are looking for? Prior save points?

"I'm running Windows 10 Home 64bit"
If you want to take the time to find out who is the trouble maker, you should have an entry in Windows Event Viewer.
I don't have win10 but I think it is similar to win7. When your program crashed, make note of the exact time of this crash. Windows has the entry of crash stored. Follow the win7 instructions below. Looking for the "details' report at the exact time of your crash.
Win7
*repeat your crash or error but note the exact time of the problem.
Go to your Desktop.
right click "my computer", then click "manage".
The "computer Management" window should now pop up on your desktop.
You should see an entry called "Event Viewer"
Hightlight Event Viewer and click the arrow on the left side of event viewer.
You should see entry called "Windows Logs"
Click on the arrow on the left to open up Windows Logs.
Note the "exact time" of your error.
Click on the following one at a time and look for an entry at the time of your error:
Application
Security
Setup
System
You should be able to find something in those logs at the exact time of your error.
Post back what you find. Copy/paste the error or entry in the topic.

Go to https://pcpartpicker.com/forums/forum/27-create-a-part-list-for-me/
Create a free account. Go to "create a parts list" and mention what you stated above:
"Mainly for video editing and programming (as well as Blender for instance, but not the priority at all). " and your budget. I bet you will get at least 6 completed parts lists for a new system within your price range and needs. The more information your provide, the better the results.
This forum works well with $400 - $8000 and higher new systems. By creating a parts list for your specific needs, you can see the options you have for each hardware part.
"Before writing this message, on the 15th of May, my only input was this: http://www.cyberlink.com/support/product-faq-content.do?id=16444" This information is so old and outdated Cyberlink should be embarrassed. Seriously if it was updated, many wont buy PD14 thinking they dont have the proper specs. 2GB RAM is minimunm? Please ignore that informaion as it has never been updated.

AMD Radeon R9 200.
I only see 210 video card. What is your exact model number? If 210, that is almost 3 years and considered "entry-level". You may need to upgrade as my thought.
You upgraded your CPU and RAM, but forgot about the hardware to do your work, the video card

"16 Go DDR4 RAM sufficient for PowerDirector 4K editing"
Again, this is 4K gaming video's. 8GB is just not enough. With improper settings (test) my RAM usage shot up to 10.5GB. Most of the time, the RAM usage is 7-8GB in the "produce" stage.
Just the PD14.exe I have seen this file in task manager bounce over 5GB.
IF you stay at 8GB's, your system may become sluggish and PD run sluggish. Today saw 16GB DDR4 RAM for $49
edit: if you are going to get a i7 6700, are you not getting a new motherboard?

The encoding is not done by CUDA anymore. It is done by a dedicated block on the cards, called NVENC.
The 750 is a Maxwell gen 1 card and should work fine. Update the drivers.
thank you sonic Found this
So NVIDIA has yanked CUDA API support for video encoding, and here is a posting confirming it. So from NVIDIAs perspective you'd have to lean on the application developer to switch to the NVENC API. So at least now you have confirmation of the issue.
Using Bandicam to record game play, guess it was selected all this time:
"H264 - NVENC (VBR)"
Where do I see this selection in PD14-NVENC? I checked off enable hardware decoding?

1-budget?
2-you building your own?
3-where can you buy from?
If building, this is a great resource:
https://pcpartpicker.com/
To answer, the best desktop will be the most expensive
To give you an idea what you could experience in a gaming 4K video of 8:08min processed by PD14 in 7:20mins. Real-time encoding without much effort.
From my experience, these 3 things are important: CPU/GPU/16GB RAM.
•Is 16 Go RAM (or more) much better than 8 Go RAM? Minimum 16GB's. So cheap now days both DDR3 and DDR4. RAM is now $55 for 16GB's.
•Is the DDR4 clock speed (and consequently the motherboard) important? No, don't get hung up on the clock speed. Stick to brand names and you will be fine.
•Is the CPU clock speed very important (here more extra costs)? Your selected i7 6700 will work great. If you want to overclock the CPU, get the "K"...6700K. Without the "K" you can not overclock. (You can but changes to BIOS for serious overclockers)
•Nvidia Geforce GTX 960 or 970? (Many PC offers with such alternatives). Watch pricing on the 970. I am seeing pricing at $279 for 970's. The new Nvidia 1080/1070 come out in 2 weeks. You might be able to get a 970 for $200 in the next month or 2. Of the 2, go with 970 and the price will go down. I am seeing 980 for $399 today and expect that price to go down in month or 2. I bought my 4GB 980 in Nov 14 at $579 
testing back in Feb/March
