Adobe Media Encoder 14.2 is now available!

As with a few others here I am having trouble getting Media Encoder and Premiere (14.3) to recognise NVIDIA GPU for encoding, the dropdown for Hardware in Encoding Settings > Performance is greyed out with the message "Hardware Encoding is unavailable. Please make sure this system meets hardware and minimum OS requirements for this functionality". I can see and use the GPU for rendering in AME (CUDA).

I am running this on AWS g4dn.xlarge instance running Windows Server 2016 Datacentre Version 1607, this is equipped with NVIDIA Tesla T4 GPU. I have insalled version 442.50 of the driver from NVIDIA.

I wonder if my problem is related to running on EC2 instance in AWS?

Update: For anyone else who may find themselves in this situation. I was able to resolve the problem by installing the AWS GRID drivers for the GPU. 

Eventhough the public drivers from NVIDIA website were installed and could be used by AME for rendering as well as by FFMPEG for NVENC hardware encoder that driver was not able to let AME use NVENC.

Details here on installing GRID drivers for G4 instances.

I am new to the form, so I appologize if this is the wrong place, but I am getting too-good-to-be-true encode times with H265 hardware encoding.  It was going to take 40 minutes to encode with the CPU (4790K), but only took 45second on the GPU (GTX 970).  Can we confirm that this is infact H265, or is this simply NVenc (which from my reaserch is more of a more effecient H264 encoder).

I had to get both Premiere and Encoder back to 14.1. They hang when trying to export. I haven't tried yet with After Effects or another app but I believe I will have to do the same.

My Laptop specs are:

Dell Inspiron 7786,

Intel Core i7-8565U CPU,

32GB RAM, SSD (M2) Hard Drive

(1st GPU Intel UHD Graphics 620, 2nd GPU NVIDIA GeForce MX150).

Hi,

so I've been testing out the new encoder but I don't see any GPU usage no matter what setting or codec I choose - CUDA, Open GL, Software, H.264, H.265...

I'm getting faster encodings directly from Premiere but my main app is After Effects so i'm dependant on Encoder.

I have i9-9900K with two RTX 2070 GPUs and 32Gb of RAM

Is there a documentation which settings allow hardware encoding? On all of my presets there is still standing Software Encoding in the Output Summary Part of Media Encoder. I didn´t find any Adob epresets either in h264 or h265 which state hardware encoding.
