Hey, so recently I've had this problem where every time I try to render in GPU Acceleration OpenCL or Metal the render doesn't work. The only way I can render is on software only. I have the newest mac so I dont think the graphics card is the problem. Also I deleted adobe media encoder to make up space, I dont know if that in any way could be whats causing the problem. Please Help thanks

    Which newest mac is it?  iMac?  iMac Pro?  Mac mini?  MacBook Pro?  MacBook Air?  MacBook?

    Problems with GPU Acceleration are usually a software driver issue.  Since you're on Mac, you'd want to make sure that macOS and Premiere Pro are up-to-date.

    Removing Adobe Media Encoder does not free up a whole lot of space.  It just forces you to always export via Premiere Pro.  (On my late 2014 27-inch iMac Retina 5K it takes up just under 4GB.)
