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.

I couldn't resist, but Harm Millaard must have had a rager before posting above and tried to bash you, but failed. I'll apologize on his behalf for his temporary blindness, lack of empathy in your inquiry, and his hate on intel even though Quick Sync is a fantastic tool used for specific purposes. I don't think it's in Adobe's interest to support Quick Sync if its best use is to lighten load during video consumption and video ripping at blazing speeds, rather than providing fine control to produce professional videos from your edits.

Also, IB being twice as fast as SB is nearly accurate, in context of what this post is about... video encoding. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/graphics/display/intel-hd-graphics-4000-2500_7.html

If you want to produce professional video with MediaExpresso, to profit from the Intel graphics, go ahead. Adobe does not use it and since the OP posted on the PR CS5/5.5/6 forum, MediaEspresso is irrelevant.

As to IB being twice as fast as SB, that is not shown in benchmarks. The best i7-2600K comes out at rank # 46 with 157 seconds, the best i7-3770K comes out at rank # 72 with 170 seconds. But with Intel Graphics, the best i7-3770K comes out at rank # 477 with 349 seconds, more than 9 times slower than a fast system.

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.
