OpenCL with Intel HD 4000 and Premiere Pro

Is there any way to enable OpenCL rendering for Intel HD 4000 Graphics in Premiere Pro CS6? I am very disappointed that it's not working. Premiere Pro doesn't support Intel QuickSync technology, which enables faster rendering than even high-end CUDA-equipped graphic cards, so if at least OpenCL rendering could be enabled, I would really appreciate it.

No.

Based on what information? Intel marketing hype or can you substantiate that with hard data?

#1: Here's your hard data: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/sandy-bridge-core-i7-2600k-core-i5-2500k,2833-5.html And that's Sandy Bridge btw., Ivy Bridge (HD4000) is allegedly 2 times faster.

#3: I'm using a Windows PC with no dedicated graphics. I was also thinking about buying a Macbook Pro, but in our country they are very expensive. Also Apple doesn't offer dedicated graphics for the 13-inch model, which is the only one I would buy. 15 inches is too big for me. I'm a happy HP ProBook 6470b user.

It's just funny that Adobe doesn't offer a solution for people running these graphics. Believe it or not, performance of this integrated GPU is AMAZING.

You did not tell me you are a gamer. I figured, since you post on PR forum, that your interest was in video editing and not in all kind of crap.

This is a test from Tom's that has absolutely no relevance to video editing.

Ivy Brigde is around 5-7% faster than SB. Not twice as you claim. You are comparing things that are not comparable and basing your arguments on wrong assumptions and quoting the wrong tests.

What you call amazing is in fact about ten times slower than an Ivy Bridge desktop with a GTX 460 and the Intel 4000 disabled. On a HP laptop the performance penalty will be around 20 times slower than a good desktop. But then, that is measured with a benchmark specifically dedicated to video editing with PR, not your games.

The best Ivy Bridge destop system with Intel HD 4000 graphics ranks at #430, only surpassed by 429 other video cards. So much for amazing.

Sorry, but I can't run the test, at least not by using the GPU acceleration. You can enable Intel's plugin accelerated rendering by selecting Intel Media SDK from the dropdown format list and then in video settings you choose whether you want to render to H.264 or MPEG2. The script which is used by this benchmark can't do this.

That shows the value of the Intel pug-in if you can't do basic exports.

Are you on a Mac or Windows PC? The new Macbook Pros come with both, an Intel HD4000 integrated processor and a nvidia GT650M discrete processor with 384 cuda cores. I can't wait to see how Premiere Pro runs on these new babies. I just returned a 2011 model (Sandy Bridge) Macbook Pro with OpenCL enabled I bought last month to get one of the new non-retina display (Ivy Bridge) Macbook Pros they just announced.
