How to make Hardware Encoding detected when export using h.264

[Eko Wardoyo]

Dear community, honestly i have asked about this sometimes ago. But i forget.

Everytime i export using Premiere Pro, software encoding greyout, so export is just using CPU only.

But when i Queue in Media Encoder and export from there, it can detect harware encoding and can using GPU when exporting.

So, what i want to know is how to make 'hardware encoding' detected in Premiere Pro. I have cuda selected in Project setting.

Well, this laptop is not powerfull, but enough for simple video editing.

the footage is jus a .mts video from sony handycam. No special effect, just a .mts then i want to export to .mp4.

Thanks,

Hmm. You could try doing a fresh re-install of the latest studio drivers and see if that wakes it up.

You can set it to do a clean installation in the custom installation options. And then give your a computer a reboot.

Thanks pholip, but i have had nvideo latest driver.

I’m not sure if you’ve tried the clean installation but I’ve seen it work for people in the past.

Might not be the issue but you are exporting Audio at 44.1k from a 48K sequence.

Cuda in the project settings is for accelerated effects.

Hardware encoding (and decoding) is set in the Preferences under Media.

Ahaaa,,, Thanks @Ann Bens , excellent,,,,,

Work charm...

Hopefully, it can help other people.

Thanks

And Eko, that hardware encoding doesn't actually involve the GPU ... it's dependent on whether your CPU/motherboard have the built-in bits for H.264/5 long-GOP encoding.

So the two phrases, software and hardware encoding, have two entirely different hardware meanings.

And yea, that's all sorts of confusing.

Thanks @R Neil Haugen yeah for just a user like me it little bit confusing.

It's all sorts of confusing. Many of us have complained about it, but ... still there, ain't it?

The dedicated GPU can encode and decode H.264/265 using hardware. The Intel CPUs with on board iGPUs can encode and decode h.264/265 with hardware. My system can use the CPU/iGPU (Quick Sync) or the grpahics card (Nvenc). I see you have the option for Nvida or AMD for decoding. Is that AMD your iGPU or dedicated graphics card? I did not think AMD iGPUs had hardware encoding and decoding. I am just curious. My system can use Quick Sync or Nvnenc as seen in the video link below.
