This is interesting to us, considering the fact that AMD hardware typically performs better than NVIDIA in certain FX encodes. MAGIX Vegas Pro 18 - Median use with Radeon This issue doesn’t seem to plague GeForce cards, but does impact both TITAN and Quadro. Just a few seconds of footage would have taken tens of minutes to encode with Denoise FX, so we’ll revisit later and see if that can be improved.Īs we’ve seen in the past couple of versions of Vegas Pro, if you own an NVIDIA professional-series graphics card, you might need to manually add a profile inside of NVIDIA’s Control Panel in order to gain full acceleration for some of the FX filters, such as LUT and Median.

In our testing, we tend to agree with that, although the performance impact of Denoise vs.

While both seem to offer similar denoising features, MAGIX tells us that they are quite different, and the denoising effect of Median won’t be as effective as Denoise FX. It’s worth noting that the Denoise FX has made a return to VP18, and depending on the use case, it could be used instead of Median. Black Bar Fill will add a frame around a video that mirrors a blurred portion of the frame (seen above with Style Transfer added). Style Transfer offers you a number of classic styles to apply to your video, such as inspirations from van Gogh and Picasso, while Colorize adds what will hopefully be believable coloring to your black-and-white videos.

Vegas Pro 18 with Style Transfer and Black Bar Fill FXīoth of the AI FX added to VP18 will offer varied results, as you’d likely expect from artificial intelligence.
