Wondering if my new MacBook Pro with NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M can handle video editing with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Stu,

Did you use the hack before the 5.02 update or after? Not sure if it matters. I have been trying with the latest updates installed.

Here is my sniffer log.

Texture memory: 0

Vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation

Renderer string: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M OpenGL Engine

Version string: 2.1 NVIDIA-1.6.18

OpenGL version as determined by Extensionator...

OpenGL Version 2.0

Supports shaders!

Supports BGRA -> BGRA Shader

Supports VUYA Shader -> BGRA

Supports UYVY/YUYV ->BGRA Shader

Supports YUV 4:2:0 -> BGRA Shader

Testing for CUDA support...

Found 1 devices supporting CUDA.

CUDA Device # 0 properties -

CUDA device details:

Name: GeForce GT 330M

Compute capability: 1.2

Total Video Memory: 255MB

CUDA driver version: 3010

CUDA Device # 0 not choosen because 765MB are required, and 255MB are present.

Completed shader test!

Internal return value: 7

- you need AT LEAST 2 drives for video editing, 3 is better
- some HD formats work better with (require) RAID

Thank you for your response. Very helpful info. But this question is in regards to GPU compatibility.

Sorry if that was unclear. But, yes I do have a storage system in place for video editing. I use a DROBO with four 1TB drives for source material. This has worked well for editing in Final Cut Express. I am considering making the switch to Premiere Pro CS5 to edit HDSLR footage, as it can edit it natively without the need for transcoding. I don't see the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M as a supported GPU and wondering if I can still take advantage of the Mercury Processing Engine.

Upon further investigation, there is a CUDA driver on the NVIDIA site that does support the GeForce GT 330M. Does anyone know if this is something I should install?

Many thanks

Certain GPUs are officially supported for hardware acceleration using the Mercury Playback Engine. This list does not include any mobile GPUs. There is a hack (do a search) to enable this capability on certain other unsupported GPUs, and some have reported success with a small number of mobile GPUs. However, the prerequisitie--official or otherwise--is that the GPU (not the system) have more than 768MB of memory. If your GPU has more memory than that, you might be able to use the hack, but I would be inclined to believe you don't have this much GPU memory with a Mac Book Pro.
