Hi all

I get that Adobe company doesnt give a damn about any kind of GPU acceleration on this product

I have a high end RTX 2080 GPU and nothing is accelerated .... fine ... Adobe doesnt care but ...opening Candid moments on 1 hour 1080p video uses 29 GB of ram and 100% cpu (16 cores cpu) for 10 minutes of a time. This is unacceptable . I talked with support person and they told me to make a new user account . This is not the solution , why should i make another Windows 10 account ?

Adobe please fix your crappy software

Candid moments is not accelerated even if you card was on the approved list.

Such a task demands computer power. My cpu jumps to 100 also and memory to about 30 gig.

I am pleased it uses 100% it means it uses all it resources instead of doing half backed processing.

Might want to read the page again on accelerated effects in the timeline.

I am not pleased at all that this tool is using 100% of a 16 cores 5 Ghz Cpu for 15 minutes . My computer is almost unusable during this time.Consumes hundreds of extra watts , makes computer unusable during this time , uses almost all my RAM ... a disaster

 

I gave up and used VLC media player and screenpresso to take 5 snapshots and took me 4 minutes instead of waiting 15 minutes while my PC is boiling

Could have done that with Elments.
