FEATURE REQUEST: add other codecs flavours support to Premiere Pro

Hi, community. Now is 2025. Nvidia has launched their 5000 videocards which boast the support for the 4:2:2 pro-grade color format, multiview-HEVC (MV-HEVC) for 3D and virtual reality (VR) video, and the new AV1 Ultra High Quality mode. They speak about 8 (EIGHT!) 4K streams in 60 FPS per decoder.

In addition to that "the old" RTXs have long been able to decode a lot of other codecs flavours:

Intel iGPUs have had even a wider range of codecs support:

And there is Premiere Pro with all these BEAUTIFUL red crosses, left of the majority of codecs support. In 2025.

I don't know whether it's some kind of conspiracy, coding difficulty or license issues, but having so few codecs support in a professional software like Premiere Pro in 2025 is unacceptable. Especially with the counter party impersonated by the BlackMagic with their software starting with a D, that long ago added more codecs support than Premiere Pro has even now.

So, Adobe, please add the i(GPU) acceleration for other codec flavours to Premiere Pro too, will you?

@GoldenSound May I request you ask your question in the Blackwell beta thread I posted to? That way other people with the same question will see it and our answer.

Thanks!

This is great news! I'll give this a go tonight.

It seems it only is for mp4 container files though. Is there any plan for MOV support?

My camera and I imagine others will only record their highest quality options to MOV so currently we would need to re encode files prior to editing

@GoldenSound Yes! It is in beta now: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-beta-discussions/now-in-beta-improved-support-for-nvidia-blackwell-architecture/td-p/15223226

If you've got a Blackwell Architecture GPU, we'd love your feedback.

Hi @Fergus H , thanks for your feedback!
Is the public Premiere Beta with support to Nvidia RTX 50xx cards 4:2:2 decoders coming soon? Is there an ETA?
Today's Beta 25.2.0 Build 98 doesn't support it yet.
Thanks,
Tommaso

@AndrewTheGreat I'd love to talk to you about your use case for some of the formats listed in the chart you posted. I'll DM you so we can coordinate a time to chat via video call - if you're interested.

Regards,

Fergus

Hi, @Fergus H

What about the other flavors? Are they planned? Is there any problem in adding their support?

Hi @Alex367466572b5i,

Thank you for asking! The usage of multiple hardware decoders from advanced Nvidia cards is already supported in Premiere Pro and is automatically managed.

If you have access to one, you could test this feaure now with a card like the RTX 5000 Ada generation (which features 2 NVDECs, as detailed here). Please let us know if you observe any issues.

Best regards,
Mayank

@Fergus H And will there be support for two hardware decoders RTX 5090 in the Premiere Pro?
