Question

4k editing without proxies lagging premiere using cpu instead of gpu

So I bought my most expensive PC so far because I wanted to edit 4K without creating proxies. 

 

Unfortunately the first experiences are quitte disapointing. After I disabled the Intel onboard GPU premiere pro is now maxing out on CPU and GPU is barely used. Which is pity since I have the most expensive GPU in the PC.

 

The problem starts within the Assembly phase, I just want to scroll trough the clip (by dragging with the mouse), mark In and Outs and add to sequence. But scrolling thourgh the clip like that is not smooth at all and CPU immidiately starts spiking tot 100%. 

 

So after searching the forum I now found out that PP is only using GPU for certain tasks. Unfortunately not for a lot of tasks clearly. I also tried to add warp stabilizer to a 4K clip of 10 minutes. It started analysing frame by frame and estimated 223minutes to complete analyze... wtf.. If this specs are not good enough for 4K editing I guess nothing is? Any suggestions on how to fix this? Of can I just sell my GPU now it's still worth something.. 

 

Here are my specs.

210-ARGS Aurora R8 Base 1
486-33818 D00AWR811 1 SR
338-BQHO Intel(R) Core(TM) i9 9900K (8-Core/16-Thread, 16MB Cache, Overclocked up to 4.7GHz across
all cores)
1 SR
370-ADUD 32GB DDR4 at 2666MHz Dual Channel 1 SR
400-BCGD 1TB M.2 PCIe Solid State Drive 1 SR

NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) RTX 2080 Ti OC with 11GB GDDR6

    But To which format should i transcode my hvec (h265?!)?

    Cineform or Prores.

    This (old) doc tells you what cuda does:

    CUDA, OpenCL, Mercury Playback Engine, and Adobe Premiere Pro | Adobe Blog

    Thanks. I am still hoping that somehow I can force PP to use GPU for decoding, would speed up things..

     

    But To which format should i transcode my hvec (h265?!)?

     

    Also, is it correct i can sell this graphic card since its barely used and replace it with a cheaper one (this one has costs me to much to nog being used..)

     

    I researched a bit more and my conclusions so far is that PP doesn't support nvidia NVENC and NVDEC which is nessecary to leverange the GPU for encoding/decoding. You can use NVENC when exporting, but only through plugin (voukoder). I'm going to try different software that support NVDEC.. Will keep you posted.

    Most stuff is done on the cpu, one of them being Warp Stabilizer.

    H.264 in 4K is a big pita to edit natively.

    Might want to get used to transcoding or use proxies.

    If you use a lot of WS then transcoding is your best bet, as with proxies WS is done on the original clip.
