Premiere Elements 2021 hardware accelerated rendering does not work with all requirements met

i have tried the UHD 630 as primary adper and disable the pcie slot for the gpu and it still wont work.

it shows supported in the menu but the hardware encoding never becomes avalable. as seen here: https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/gpu-accelerated-rendering---hardware-encoding.html

thigs i have tried:

reinstall prorgam

new intel driver

new clean windows on test ssd

differnt pc with simmilar specs same result no hardware encoding avalable

no dedicated gpu only intel igpu

more but i cant rember.

all the testing also had the fun sideefect of me having to contact adobe to reset my key becasue i have reached max number of activations i havent done this yet im sure it will be fun.

Go to the "Premiere Elements Beta Tester Program" section on the gpu acceleration page

 

Enter your information and hope the PrE staff contacts you to send you the update utility

-see my last reply, where I said I had to run the utility 3 times to get it to add my card

stranngely my 1070ti in the past few days is now supported without the need to enter the beta program

but nvidia cards dont support the hardware rendering from what the adobe site says because it uses the intel media sdk and i am still unable to make that work as i said even with the 1070ti removed.
i am able to use hardware rendering on my laptop with UHD 620 but i would really like to use it on my desktop with UHD 630 and 4 more cores

uless they add NVenc then i dont care about the UHD630 as the nvidia encoder will be faster again like in Premiere pro

Steve,

 

You write "Premiere Elements does not use your GPU to accelerate rendering."  Although I have a GPU, it is not one that is listed as supported.   I can't try/test it.  

Confusion on this forum might be coming from the Premiere Elements information page.  https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/using/gpu-acceleration.html#unsupported_cards

 

In the first full paragraph there, it says, "This feature also accelerates the encoding pipeline and thus reduce the export time taken by PRE."

BTW, Premiere Elements does not use your GPU to accelerate rendering. The new GPU-enabled timeline merely uses your graphics card to enhance your view of playback on your timeline.

So why do they advertise it here: https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/gpu-accelerated-rendering---hardware-encoding.html

It pretty much the only reason I upgraded to 2021 from 2020 because I know how much faster it can be with this feature

Believe it or not but your GPU is too good:

For unknown reasons your card 1070Ti is not supported.

i am aware but even when my 1070ti is completle removed the UHD 630 does not let me use hardware encoding ideally i would like to use my nvidia gpu as primary and just use the igpu for rending how it used to work in premere pro but now that supports nvidia nvenc
