Software-only CUDA processing

[Nano Kan_Pro]

Hello, 

when I export a sequence. Only software processing is active.
Putting the CPU at 100% and not on the GPU.

Why?

Post comp specs.

Screenshot project settings/general and export settings.

What is in the timeline: effects? any scaling?

Hello, the project video 1920x1080

[Ann Bens]

Cuda (MPE) is on. There is not much for the gpu card to do.

If you dont have Intel Quick Sync you wont have Hardware Encoding.

Those are two separate things.

Intel Quick SyncVideo is Only compatible with Adobe Premiere Elements. And I use Adobe Premiere Pro.

I have a professional processor Intel i9 9820X and is not intel graphics. 

I do not understand why Adobe has removed GPU export. It used to work.

DaVinci Resolve exports half the time thanks to GPU

[Ann Bens]

Premiere is not Resolve.

Premiere did not remove MPE.

Which GPU card do you have installed?

Might want to read this doc on what cuda does and does not do.

I have GPU Nvidia GTX 1080 TI 11Gb

In previous versions, encryption was done by hardware.

Exporting has not changed under the hood

Your timeline content might or export settings.

Timeline content? 

In previous versions, encryption was done by hardware.

I think I'll switch to DaVinci Resolve, the export is much faster. Da Vinci Resolve use CPU+GPU.

Nano,

I think you are misunderstanding the way Premiere Pro uses the GPU for export. Neil has explained it thoroughly. I wanted to add a few things to make sure you were clear on how Premiere Pro works.

Only the following can engage the GPU on export. Otherwise, it is purely a CPU centric process.

• GPU Acclerated Effects:
  • My guess is that you don't have any GPU accelerated effects applied to any of your clips (I do wonder why you've nested every clip, however).
• Color space conversion:
  • • My assumption is that you had no color space conversions
• Blending modes:
  • My guess is that you did not use blending modes.
• Deinterlacing:
  • Assume that your footage was progressive scan as was your export.
• Scaling:
  • In your Export Settings, I see no scaling going on.
  • My guess is that you also do not have scaling going on from, say 4K to HD in your timeline.

If you have had GPU interaction on previous exports, my assumption is that one or more of these items were included. This legacy article explains the whys of GPU acceleration when it comes to the Mercury Playback Engine.

If you are having GPU interaction with other non-Adobe NLE editing software, they may have different system coded for their application based on their decoders. In other words, your experience regarding hardware interaction and exporting times may vary between the applications. 

I hope this helps lock in how Premiere Pro and the GPU work when it comes to exporting.

Thanks,
Kevin

Ann's correct ... the "hardware/software" rendering comment in the Export dialog has nothing whatever to do with GPU usage. That comment only refers to whether or not your computer has a CPU with Intel's QuickSync feature both in the CPU and enabled in the BIOS.

That hasn't changed at all across 2019 and 2020 ... period.

The CPU is the heart of the computer work in Premiere, and it calls on the other subsytems as it needs and is coded to use them. So ... if it sees a usable GPU, which is using the CUDA (Nvidia) or Metal (AMD) acceleration set in the Project settings ... when it gets to effects using the GPU (GPU Accelerated Effects list) such as color or major frame resizing, then it calls on the GPU to do that bit of work.

And that hasn't changed between 2019 and 2020 either.

Resolve uses the GPU for some things that Premiere doesn't and vice versa. Completely differently coded apps. Resolve is also a ton more 'hard-coded' for UI and tools, and Premiere is far more flexible for UI and tools.

They are both ... as is Avid ... fancy hammers. Use the hammer what works for you to get stuff out to your clients that pay your bills.
