Does rendering Motion Templates in FCP use the GPU?

I know that FCP when it comes to rendering relies almost completely on the CPU, but when Motion Templates are involved, does it somehow use Motions rendering system and involve the GPU? I only ask because i'm getting stupidly slow rendering times with Motion Templates in FCP, and i'm wondering if a graphics upgrade will help.
Many Thanks in advance.

just got photoshop cc 2014 on windows 8.1 64 bit, and it starts up on the white layout and and whenever I start a project it is in a window? Also whenever I try to change on of these it does not save. I am using the trial. Basically nothing saves and it was all screwed up when I first got it.

Do a screen screen capture and post it here so we can see what you stating about a white layout...

After the Apple logo appears, what happens then? Can you hear any sounds or if you tap on the screen, does it seem like apps can open or are you just seeing a black screen? You might have a hardware problem, but you can try restoring the software and see what happens.

Why does it say headphones when i use the volume buttons

why does it say headphones when i use the volume buttons instead of volume when the headphones are not plucked in?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

Does iMovie 11 use the GPU to accelerate encoding videos?

I noticed on imovie ’09, my GPU isn’t used at all to import or encode videos...
Does imovie 11 use the GPU to help out at all?

Some software use the computer’s GPU (addition to or in place of the CPU) in order to complete its given task in a shorter period of time. Photoshop is an example of one of these applications; it uses the GPU instead of the CPU to complete its tasks faster. 3DS Max is another example. It uses all available cores to render faster.
Now you might be thinking those all have to do with graphics... Well... Doesn’t imovie have to do with graphics, too? I mean utilizing the GPU to encode video is a good idea IMO. Even if you don’t associate iMovie with graphics, and somehow think it’s impossible for it to ever take advantage of a GPU, what about the other software that’s completely unrelated to graphics and video encoding? The legality or intentions of the software is questionable... (ie wireless network auditing) But regardless, it still takes advantage of the GPU to accelerate its tasks to incredible speeds. If stuff like that can do it, why can’t a program designed for processing video do it?
Anyway, I won’t be able to tell you if adobe makes NTSC discs or not. I already have toast 10 which I just discovered it burns NTSC DVD discs and even Blu Ray video discs without returning a demuxing error every other video. And to think it was only useful for burning data discs. It doesn’t use the GPU either, but it seems to encode DVD video considerably faster than iDVD.

Does anyone know if i can use the wall charger from my ipad 3 on the new ipod 5 touch, does anyone know if i can use the wall charger from my ipad 3 on the new ipod 5 touch

Plan on buying my first ipod touch whe its finally available. Does anyone know if you can use the wall ccharger from an iPad 3 for it. Thanks

Well all I can say it would have been nice if apple included the charger for the price these things cost. Sometimes you just don't have access to a computer to charge it. I'm OK because I have the iPad charger but I still think its a cheap move on their behalf not including one.

Does Photoshop Elements use the GPU?

I cannot find a difinitive statement as to whether Photoshop Elements uses the GPU or not. I am about to buy a new computer and I am trying to determine if I should spend the money to get a higher end graphics card or not. The two options in the computer I am looking at are the Nvidia Quadro K1000M and K2000M, both with 2Gb. The K2000M is $250 more and I need to decide if it will provide better performance with Elements. Thanks.

FAQ: What features use the GPU and how do I troubleshoot GPU issues?

Photoshop CS6 GPU FAQ
Introduction
This document provides a quick reference guide to video card usage in Photoshop. Some features require a compatible video card to work; if the video card or its driver is defective or unsupported, those features will not work at all. Other features use the video card for acceleration and if the card or driver is defective those features will run more slowly.
Mercury Graphics Engine
The Mercury Graphics Engine (MGE) represents features that use video card, or GPU, acceleration. In Photoshop CS6, this new engine delivers near-instant results when editing with key tools such as Liquify, Warp, Lighting Effects and the Oil Paint filter. The new MGE delivers unprecedented responsiveness for a fluid feel as you work.
MGE is new to Photoshop CS6, and uses both the OpenGL and OpenCL frameworks. It does not use the proprietary CUDA framework from nVidia.
In order to use MGE, you must have a supported video card and updated driver. If you do not have a supported card, performance will be degraded. In most cases the acceleration is lost and the feature runs in the normal CPU mode. However, there are some features that will not work without a supported video card.
GPU features added in Photoshop CS6
Adaptive Wide Angle Filter (compatible video card required)
Liquify (accelerated by compatible video card with 512MB VRAM, GPU mode unavailable on Windows XP)
Oil Paint (compatible video card required)
Warp and Puppet Warp (accelerated by compatible video card, GPU mode unavailable on Windows XP)
Field Blur, Iris Blur, and Tilt/Shift (accelerated by compatible video
card supporting OpenCL, GPU mode unavailable on Windows XP)
Lighting Effects Gallery (compatible video card required with 512MB
VRAM, unavailable on Windows XP)
New 3D enhancements (3D features in Photoshop require a compatible video card with 512MB VRAM, unavailable on Windows XP):
Draggable Shadows

GPU/OpenGL preferences in Photoshop CS6
The advantages of using a compatible video card (GPU) with Photoshop are that you can experience better performance and more features. Problems can occur if you have an older video card with limited VRAM or if you use other programs at the same time as Photoshop that use the GPU.
Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences (Mac OS).
In the Performance panel, make sure Use Graphics Processor is selected in GPU Settings.
Click Advanced Settings and specify the following options:
Mode > Basic
Mode > Normal
Mode > Advanced Provides the benefits of Normal mode as well as newer OpenGL advances that can result in improved performance.
Use Graphics Processor to Accelerate Computation
Use OpenCL Uses the GPU to accelerate the new blur filters (Field Blur, Iris Blur, and Tilt-Shift) – OpenCL will only be available on newer GPUs that support OpenCL v1.1 or higher
Anti-Alias Guides And Paths Allows the GPU hardware to smooth the edges of drawn guides and paths.
30 Bit Display (Windows only) Allows Photoshop to display 30 bit data directly to screen on video cards that support it
Quick GPU Troubleshooting Steps
You can experience problems such as artifacts, errors, and crashes if there are incompatibilities between Photoshop and the display components that access the GPU.
If you experience crashes, incorrectly rendered windows or objects, redraw issues, or performance issues while running Photoshop, first determine whether OpenGL is causing the problem.
Turn off OpenGL.
Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences (Mac OS).
In the Performance panel, uncheck Use Graphics Processor. Click OK.
Restart Photoshop, and perform the same function.
If the problem recurs while OpenGL Drawing is disabled, OpenGL is not the cause. For additional troubleshooting, see Troubleshoot system errors and freezes | Adobe software on Windows (cpsid_82252) or Troubleshoot system errors and freezes | Adobe software on Mac OS 10.x (cpsid_82414).
If the problem resolves, proceed with the rest of the troubleshooting steps to fix OpenGL.
Make sure that you're using the latest update of Photoshop.Updates fix bugs and issues.
Update the display driver.Updated display drivers can fix many issues, such as crashing, incorrectly rendered objects, and performance problems. Determine what video card you have and go directly to the manufacturer's website (nVidia or ATI/AMD) and download the latest driver. (Note: Simply doing a Windows Update is does not guarantee you are using the latest driver. You must go directly to the nVideo or ATI/AMD websites to get the absolute latest driver.) After you update your driver, turn on Use Graphics Processor in Photoshop preferences.
Reset preferences.
Resetting preferences returns OpenGL settings to their default status. Reset Photoshop preferences by pressing and holding Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Windows) or Shift+Option+Command (Mac OS) immediately after you start Photoshop.
Click Yes when asked if you want to delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings File.
Retry the function that caused the problem.
Change the OpenGL mode to Basic.
Setting the OpenGL mode to Basic uses the least amount of GPU memory and the most basic GPU feature set.
Close all documents.
Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences (Mac OS)
In the Performance panel, click the GPU Settings Advanced Settings button.
Choose Mode > Basic
Restart Photoshop.
If this solution resolves the problem, switch to Normal mode. See if the issue recurs. If the issue recurs, return to Basic mode.
Note: If you’re changing GPU preferences to troubleshoot a problem, re-launch Photoshop after each change.
If you are using more than one video adapter, remove the additional cards.
Multiple video adapters can cause problems with GPU accelerated or enabled features in Photoshop. It's best to connect two (or more) monitors into one video adapter. If you have to use more than one video adapter, make sure that they are the same make and model. Otherwise, crashes and other problems can occur in Photoshop.
Note: Using two video adapters does not enhance Photoshop's performance.
Check your Cache Levels setting.
If you've set your Cache Levels to 1 in Photoshop preferences, you can experience performance issues with GPU features. Reset Cache Levels to the default setting, which is 4.
Choose Edit > Preferences > Performance (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences (Mac OS)
In the Performance panel, choose Cache Levels > 4.
The GPU Sniffer
To help guard against Photoshop crashes related to bad GPU hardware or drivers, Photoshop employs a small program called the GPU Sniffer. Every time Photoshop is launched, Photoshop launches the sniffer. The sniffer runs rudimentary tests of the GPU and reports the results to Photoshop. If the sniffer crashes or reports a failure status to Photoshop, Photoshop will not use the GPU. The Use Graphics Hardware checkbox in the Performance panel of the Preferences will be unchecked and disabled.
The first time the sniffer fails, Photoshop will display a dialog indicating that it has detected a problem with the GPU. On subsequent launches the dialog will not appear unless the Photoshop preferences are reset.
If the user corrects the problem, either by replacing the video card or by updating the driver, then the sniffer will pass on the next launch and the Use Graphics Hardware checkbox will be enabled and returned to its previous state (enabled or disabled).
Tested video cards for Photoshop CS6
Adobe tested the following video cards before the release of Photoshop CS6. This document lists the video card by series. While the minimum amount of VRAM supported on video cards for Photoshop CS6 is 256MB, some features require 512MB of VRAM to be enabled.
Note: Adobe tested laptop and desktop versions of the following cards. Be sure to download the latest driver for your specific model. (Laptop and desktop versions have slightly different names.)
nVidia GeForce 8000, 9000, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 series
nVidia Quadro 400, 600, 2000, 4000 (Mac & Win), CX, 5000, 6000
AMD/ATI Radeon 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000 series
AMD/ATI FirePro 3800, 4800, 5800, 7800, 8800, 9800, 3900, 4900, 5900, 7900
Intel Intel HD Graphics, Intel HD Graphics P3000, Intel HD Graphics P4000
Note: ATI X1000 series and nVidia 7000 series cards are no longer being tested and are not officially supported in CS6 – some basic GL functionality may be available for both these cards.
Note: 3Dand some Open GL features are disabled on Windows XP, as stated on : http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/photoshopcs6/

Is there a way I can force an application to use the GPU?

I own a MacBook Pro 15in with retina display with integrated graphics from NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M. Currently I have my settings in the "Energy Saver" section of the System Preferences set for automatic graphics switching. I use an interior design application called Live Interior 3D Pro. This application uses a lot of 3D rendering that lags for a 2-3 seconds. I checked my activity monitor to see if the application was using the GPU, and it indicated it was not. I understand that I can uncheck the automatic graphics switching to fix the problem, but the problem is I hear it screws with the battery life. I do not want to switch off the automatic switching setting but do want this specific application to use the GPU instead of the built in Intel Iris Pro graphics thing. Is there a setting I can use to make just this application fire up the GPU when I open it? If not, do you know if switching off the automatic graphics switching setting messes with the battery at all? Also, does this mess with the performance of the machine overall since I have 16GB of RAM and only 2GB of GPU power or are those totally different and irrelevant? Thank you for your time and thank you in advanced for your help!!!!!!!!

jspatel1011,
your MacBook Pro’s discrete NVIDIA GPU is more powerful than its integrated Intel graphics; that power comes at the cost of increased energy consumption. There’s no setting to allow exceptions to the automatic graphics switching; you’ll have to determine whether that power vs. energy tradeoff is worth it when running Live Interior 3D Pro or not. If it is worth it, then disable the automatic graphics switching before you run Live Interior 3D Pro, and reënable it after you quit that app. (You might look into AppleScript to see if that disabling and reënabling can be automated.) If it’s not worth it, then you’ll have to live with the lagging while it does the 3D rendering.

Using the GPU for editing and render

I just got a new GTX 770 4GB classidied graphics card.
However when I'm editing and rendering in CS6 I'm not seeing it being used at all.
I have the CUDA option selected in the project settings,
but still premire does not take advantage off the GPU.
Anyway I can use the GPU to speed up render times?

Please refer to this post on 'What does Premiere Pro accelerate with CUDA/OpenCL?'

How to use the GPU for calculations?

Hello everybody,
I am working on a project at the Ruhr-University, where i have to determine the calculation speed of ActionScript, e.g. in calculating MD5 Hash values.
Is it possible to use the GPU for the calculation? It would be the best, when i can use the GPU and the CPU for the calculations.
I already know that ActionScript is running on the CPU und the GPU is used for video rendering.
Is there a chance to use specifically the GPU for the calculation?
Regards
Patrick

Why does font looks pixelated when exporting motion template to FCP?

I created a motion template for some text animations and I also tried with just a motion file and when I added either one to FCP it just looks like crap (pixelated edges, really really bad edges)
I noticed this happens if you don't have a drop shadow or a glow selected on the fonts
is there a way to solve this?
