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,

Cuda in the project settings is for accelerated effects.

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

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.

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.

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