Does anyone know if AMD GPU's will be supported in the windows version of PE 2021? After all the problems with licencing (ended up in Adobe commercial circuit, rather than support 😞 ) I decided due to a number of non finished PE projects to upgrade to PE 2021. Only now to discover in hindside that my GPu is not supported. Yes, ignorant and naief on my end. Tips how to improve my PE performance without upgrading GPU are welcome

No one on this forum knows or can say what will come in the next version of the program. But here's the list of supported devices as it stands now.

For what it's worth, it's not a great loss if your GPU isn't supported. Adobe added some support for graphics cards in version 2021, but they only affect how your timeline previews. You don't get a big boost in performance or faster production. So the program is by no means crippled if your GPU isn't supported. It still works just fine. 

 

My tutorial may fill in some details.

Thank you Steve, not what I like to hear, but it is what it is. Now on your comment of performance; my current work seems more sluggisch and of poor(er) quality then in PE 15. The whole feel is a down great, any idea if that is due to my settings?

I'm sure Steve will reply.   For me, PrE performance is very good and as it has ever been.  (I shoot and edit in 4K on a better than average laptop.)   

 

Performance seems to depend on a variety of issues:

-Source  footage should be a common standard

-Project settings and how you make them

-Timeline render quality setting on the General Preferences page

-Default audio input on the Audio Hardware Preferences page should be at "No Input".

-Output will probably be better if settings match the source and project.  

 

Fritsz, how do you have yours set up?
