Question

MacOS 10.13.5 - Premiere Pro doesn`t use the GPU(OpenCl) at all :(

Everytime I export my projects, h264, h265, ProRes, PNG ... - Premiere only uses the CPU.

Open CL - Graphics Card Processor at 0%  - CPU 90-100%

Metal - Graphics processor only at 10 % - CPU 90-100% (same rendertimes)

Compared to FCPX and Resolve its damn slow!

Question: Is there a fix for Mac users ?

System:

iMac 5K late 2015

i7 6700K

Radeon R9 m395X

24Gb of RAM

MacOS 10.13.5

My Graphics Card is on the compatibility List - but it is not used - it feels like the software ignores it.

Hi romanu11216486,

Encoding is a CPU centric process in Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder. The GPU does accelerate certain items in the overall export process, but not the encoding itself. The GPU will only accelerate the processing of GPU-accelerated effects.

Thanks,

Kulpreet Singh
