With the latest Adobe Premiere Pro Beta build we have enabled Hardware Accelerated Encoding through Nvidia GPU card.


If you have Nvidia GPU card on your Windows machine, you will be able to use this feature.


To enable this option, select H.264/HEVC from the Format drop-down under Export Settings. Then under the Video tab, go to Encoding Settings and set the Performance to Hardware Encoding. Setting it to Software Encoding will disable hardware encoding and Adobe Premiere Pro won't use Nvidia HW to encode the media. Please see attached screenshot.

Feature is enabled in Adobe Premiere Pro Beta , Adobe Media Encoder Beta and Adobe Premiere Rush.

 

Please try out the feature and share your feedback.

What if you have both quick sync and nvidia on ones machine.

What if for some reason you cannot disable intel.

Which one will be used and on what critria is that choice based.

 

BTW the latest AME 14.2 wont open: application wont start correctly (0x0000142). Fixed: added to ransomware protection.

I noticed both my Intel graphics processor and Nvidia GPU were being used during video export. It turns out the Nvidia GPU was being used for encoding and the Intel graphics were used for decoding.

Can you please add decoding on the GPU? This will eliminate my need to gernerate proxy files. DaVinci Resolve supports decoding H.264 media. Thanks


and its much more important then encoding too!
resolve is able to edit MULTICAM 4K HEVC smoothly on my 1070 / 6700hq laptop, but premiere can only edit using Proxy.
