I'm not seeing any significant pressure on my CPU cores or GPUs and exporting a video at 1080P from my older Virb is so slow. Is there anything that can be done to speed this up?
What version of virb edit are you using? Starting with 5.0, they started utilizing the GPU a lot more. So you want to make sure you use 5.0. I remember 4.0+ being very slow.
Assuming you are using the latest windows 10 version, open task manager when rendering, it will show CPU usage but also GPU usage. See if your GPU is actually been used and it is just a big video to render, or not at all and then you know you have a problem.
You can also do the standard stuff, latest drivers, antivirus, windows update, reinstall virb edit, etc
What's the length of video you are exporting and how long is it taking? Should also monitor the response times of you hard drives as well. Also what encoder/decoder settings are you using in virb edit? There is a button in the settings that set them to the best settings according to the hardware you have.
I am using the Ffmpeg video encoder and the DXVA video decoder.
You can see in the task manager screenshot attached that CPU and both GPUs are not heavily taxed. The Disks are also not heavily taxed. The video is about 1 hour 20 minutes long and it takes about 20 minutes to render at a high target quality setting. ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1306481.jpg
First it's 'What version of Windows are you using?', then it's 'What version of edit are you using?', then it's 'How long is the video?'....LOL at the EXCUSES...the fact is that Virb Edit has ALWAYS been insanely SLOW and no hope is in sight. Best to use another form of software, even the lame Microsoft Live Movie Maker is 100x faster than Garmin Virb Edit, sad but true.
Dear Sirs, I am using a fast Mac Pro, not a mac book pro, and can confirm that VIRB edit is very slow. Even with reduced resolution like full HD. We have March 2019 now. Is there any improvement scheduled? Or is there a alternativ software that is able to handle the telemetric data from the VIRB.
