With the latest Adobe Media Encoder Beta build we have enabled Hardware Accelerated Encoding through AMD GPU card.


If you have AMD GPU card on your Windows machine, you will be able to use this feature.


To enable this option, select H.264/HEVC from the Format drop-down under Export Settings. Then under the Video tab, go to Encoding Settings and set the Performance to Hardware Encoding. Setting it to Software Encoding will disable hardware encoding and Adobe Premiere Pro won't use AMD HW to encode the media. Please see attached screenshot.

Feature is enabled in Adobe Premiere Pro Beta, Adobe Media Encoder Beta and Adobe Premiere Rush.

 

Please try out the feature and share your feedback.

This has been one of the most useful new features for CC for me in quite a long time! I thought I was going to have to buy a whole new PC, now being able to leverage AMD HW acceleration has made a huge difference. Considerably faster H.265>H.264 encoding compared to software only on my old I5-4690K - currently using an RX 570. Stable and fast.
