Discuss: Hardware Acceleration Decode for 4:2:2 10 bit H264/HEVC now available on MAC ARM Beta

[Abhi Singh Principal PM]

With the latest Adobe Premiere Pro Beta build, we have enabled Hardware Acceleration decode of HEVC/H264 4:2:2 10 bit on Mac ARM systems. This means that your import performance for files that use this codec will be faster. 

If you have a MAC Arm machine, this feature is enabled by default on Premiere Pro. 

We recommend that you please clean your media cache once for optimal performance. 

This is now available in Beta for Adobe Premiere Pro (Mac ARM), and Adobe Media Encoder (Mac ARM). 

Please try it and let us know your feedback.

Any word on similar implementations for Intel Quick Sync on Windows? The Intel 11th gen processors support pretty much every flavor of HEVC on a hardware level, but I believe Premiere Pro only supports hardware accelerated decoding of HEVC 4:2:0 8-bit and 4:2:0 10-bit.

Hi @PugetSystems_Matt,

We are looking into it.   We will update you when it's implemented on Windows also.

Thanks,

Dear Mayjain!

Is there any chance to enable hardware accelerated decode for h.264 10 bit 4:2:2 on Windows Intel systems?

Thanks for your answer!

Hi @PiterSpb,

We have tested different 422 10bit H.264 files and it's working fine in the latest Premiere Beta version. For ex. media from Sony A7S III camera. You can try it and let us know your feedback. 

Regarding similar implementations on Windows, we are looking into it.   We will update you when it's implemented on Windows also.

Thanks,
Mayjain

It doesnt work for me on 23.2.0 Build 35.  When i load up my HEVC 10Bit 422 files from my FX3 and hit play on the timelime its all CPU, no GPU Video Decode..  i have a RTX 2080Ti

[Andreas5CD5]

Same here with any 10-bit 422 footage from my a7IV... same version of Premiere (23.2). All CPU, no GPU on decode. Ive got an Intel 12700H and RTX 3050

Turns out that all graphics cards as of now, only decode 420 or 444. Only Intel QuickSync on an Intel 11th gen or newer processer can decode 422.
