Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration (CUDA) is greyed out in Adobe Premiere CC 2022

[SSABERI9211]

I'm trying to change the render to CUDA-- however the option is completely greyed out. 

Can't seem to find a solution for 22.2 on my Macbook Pro M1 Max. Does anyone have suggestions?

I hate to break this to you, but no non-Nvidia GPU ever supported CUDA at all. And Apple MacOS no longer supports CUDA at all since OSX 10.14 Mojave. And beginning with MacOS 12 Monterrey, only Metal is supported, and with all M1 CPU/GPU hybrids, you cannot even select software-only MPE. You're permanently stuck with Metal for GPU acceleration.

And since CUDA 11, CUDA is now Windows-only. No Mac support at all.

Accordingly, since Version 14 of Premiere Pro, CUDA is now no longer supported anymore for Mac.

Damn... so there's no way to accelerate the render?

I just spoke with Adobe Chat about this and shared my screen with them and they fixed it. You have to open it with intel from creative cloud.

Can you elaborate? How do you do this?

@altk3y,

This is an old post, and things have changed with modern Macs. Or do you have an older Mac? We don't know. Give us exact details of your system, OS, and Premiere Pro version, and let us know what you want to do.

Thanks,

Kevin

While someone has revived a dormant post, I will reply to the original solution:

Beginning with Premiere Pro 24, opening Premiere Pro or any other Adobe video program with Intel is no longer possible on an Apple Silicon Mac.
