Does Premiere Elements 15 use Intel Quick Sync Video?

Hi all,

I am interested in Premiere Elements 15, because I use Windows 7, AVCHD, Blu-ray and Intel Quick Sync Video. But does this program use Intel Quick Sync Video?

I have seen it written where it does use Quick Sync.  But, I've never found what it exactly does by using it.  In the General Settings menu there is a check box for "Hardware Acceleration".  I don't know how to verify that, but I think it turns Quick Sync on and off. 

You wrote that Blu-Ray is part of what you do.  If so, do not be tempted to update to any later versions of Premiere Elements.  Blu-Ray support has been dropped in all Adobe products.

Yes, I have seen that information about Blu-ray, that's why I am interested in version 15. But how to get it?

I saw a copy on eBay.  Adobe does not sell it.  Frankly, if Blu-Ray was the most important tool in my video editing, I would be looking at a Magix or Cyberlink product.
