Adobe Premiere does not use CUDA processors for video rendering (Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070)

[lukášl92257776]

I want to ask why Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2018 does not use CUDA processors for video rendering. I am rendering a video with a hard effect (noise reduction), and when I render video, GPU (new Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070) work only to max 10% (sometimes even less) even though I have the settings (folder Project settings) set up to be rendered using CUDA. Adobe Premiere and GPU drivers are updated to the latest updates. This problem occurs with each rendering. Adobe Premiere does not use GPU CUDA at all, even though it should. Where is the problem?

As Ann's in-depth link will point out, the GPU is used only for GPU-accelerated effects, found on the list for that. Which is (for those not choosing to read that detailed and accurate post Ann links to) based on color (Lumetri), Warp, significant re-sizing, and some other things. The list itself is here ...

All other render/export is handled by CPU/RAM/cores/threads. And also affected by the drives you utilize, what they are and how connected to the motherboard.

Thank you, but I have already read this document. I remember that in old computer GPU was working very hard in every rendering. Now the GPU does not work at all. There must be a problem somewhere else. I've spent a lot of money on new graphics card and now GPU is not working at all. In my video I am using Lumetri Color effect, Warp Stabilizer VFX and third part effect Reduce Noise v4 from Neat Video (in settings of Reduce Noise I see that even rendering only with CPU is much faster than using GPU or both, I don't understand it). Export time is still same long, and it does not matter if the export is set to using CPU or GPU during in export/render. The computer is completely new and tested, it works properly.

Post screenshot of export settings.

Third party plugins are not supported within Premiere. Neat Video is known for long export times.

Here is settings for Neat Video. Here GPU should work.

You would have to contact Neat Video for help with their plug-in.

If GPU rendering is turned on, then PP is using it where it can.

Looking at the timeline: renderbar is red.

What Ann's saying is that either you have GPU rendering turned off, or you're using effects which aren't accelerated.

GPU (using CUDA) was turned on while I was taking screenshots. Neat Video can work with GPU, this is the information on their website - "Got a powerful graphics card? Neat Video enables GPU acceleration to speed up processing and cut down on render times. Neat Video supports most CUDA-capable NVIDIA GPUs and a large number of OpenCL-capable AMD video cards."

I just can't help with Neat Video.  I don't use the plug-in.

Although they say that, there are very limited circumstances, such as minimal corrections, that it will actually use the GPU efficiently.

Let's just call it an exaggeration.
