Hi,
I've upgraded to 2021 to be able to use the GPU accelleration. I'm on Win10 and have a Geforce 1060 6GB so it should work. The card is recognized in the preferences window and checked. But rendering is still slow, and in Task Manager I can see no GPU activity during rendering: usage is 0 to 1%, in all tiles (3D; Copy; Video Encode; Video Decode).
I guess Adobe does not offer any support for this product, so I hope anyone in this forum will help!
Thanks, Thijs

Premiere Elements does not use GPU acceleration in the traditional sense. It can't use your GPU's power to improve performance or to create a hard render of your video. It merely uses your GPU's power to soft-render certain video effects.
My tutorial shows you more details.

Thanks Steve for clarifying. I did see your video, but did not understand how rendering the timeline would not be necessary anymore with GPU assistance, as opposed to just rendering it faster. But I am a newby.
Does Premiere Pro support 'real' GPU acceleration? I'm considering taking a month-subcription because I do not use vide a lot.

Sometimes
Not everything uses CUDA - and other hardware acceleration notes

New cards come out faster than Adobe can test and certify... if your card has 1Gig of video ram it should work... but do be aware that video drivers SOMETIMES cause problems, so you may need to update your video driver at the vendor site

Also, be sure you buy a "cancel any time" monthly subscription, not an annual subscription with monthly payments... and also be sure you cancel before your monthly subscription renews for another month
