Discuss : Nvidia Hardware Accelerated Encode for H264/HEVC

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.

          If the discrete GPU decoding is also added then this will be a game changer of how we edit videos -

          no more proxies in 90% of cases. This will save a lot of time and some space. Typical Intel decoding is not so good at 4K as we know it, especiallay at timeline scrubbing.


          Hello Viktor, 

           

          as mentioned below. You can have Nvidia GPU decoding for faster H.264 and HEVC editing today. It is available as free plugin (for Windows 10 64bit) only either via the Adobe Exchange portal -> Daniel2 plugin or get it directly at www.turbocut.com

          You can also just search on Youtube with the keywords Turbocut and Premiere and you will find videos of people that have successfully tried it. It helps a lot if you have a machine with 4 to 12 CPU cores and a recent Nvidia card (e.g. GTX1050 or higher). If you have a monster machine (16 core or more), the benefit of having Nvidia GPU decoding is less noticable - other than the CPU fans revving less high and according to my PSU power reading 20W and more power consumption when using the CPU over the Nvidia hardware decoder.

          So if you want to save power and reduce your global CO2 footprint - use Nvidia GPU decoding. Not a big difference but 20W are a good number of LED light bulbs.
