GPU Acceleration In Premiere Pro CC

Do you have it when exporting via Adobe Media Encoder?
I don't seem to. I ran some tests several weeks back which clearly showed that GPU acceleration was not working when exporting through AME, but worked fine when doing a direct Export. I ran the following test again today.
10 minutes of 1080p/24 AVCHD
ProcAmp, Gaussian Blur, Three-way Color Corrector (All accelerated, 32 bit, YUV effects.)
Export to H.264 Blu-ray, default settings. (No MRQ, no previews.)
Here's what I got.
AME GPU Off - 14:03
AME GPU On - 14:10
Direct - 6:12
As before, it's pretty clear that hardware acceleration is not working through AME. In fact, it routinely takes just a tiny bit longer with GPU acceleration on.
The first time around I ran a duplicate test with CS6, and it very clearly showed that GPU acceleration was working via AME.
So...what are your results?

I suspect operator/observer error on the first go round. Mind trying again through AME?
Uh, I can, but I'm not sure what you're hoping for. The times I reported were right from the text file log that AME keeps, and they were all done last night, just at different times.

Trouble with GPU Acceleration in Premiere Pro CS6 (GTX 670)

I recently bought a new GTX 670 with the hopes that it would accelerate my video editing in Premiere. After using the "nVidia hack" to add it to the list of CUDA supported cards, I started up Premiere, enabled GPU acceleration in the general project preferences window, and was disappointed to find that my performance appeared to be identical to what I had experienced with my non compatible HD 6870s.
When I checked with MSI Afterburner, my GPU usage remained around 0%, even when playing through videos. I'm quite certain that my card was successfully added to the list, so I have no idea what's going on.
Is there any chance that I am misunderstanding what GPU acceleration is supposed to do? I'm very new to Premiere, so I don't know too much about it yet. The reason I bought my new card, aside from improved performance in 3D games, was to allow me to scrub through my project (comprised of 1080p AVI videos captured with FRAPS) without hiccups and poor FPS. Was this not a reasonable expectation for GPU rendering?
Here's a short list of my PC's specs if it's any help:
-Intel i5 2500k (currently not overclocked)
-8GB DDR3 Dual Channel RAM (at 1600MHz)
-1TB 7200RPM HDD
-nVidia GTX 670 OC 2GB VRAM
-Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 Motherboard
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Did you go to project>project settings>general and verify that GPU (cuda) accleration is enabled? If it's set to software only then change it and see if that helps. If it's enabled my next question is what is the bitrate of your FRAPS videos? Because I have seen some fraps video's with bit-rates that are really high which would require a RAID array that is only holding video clips to playback smoothly. In your case it appears you have your OS and your apps and your footage all playing from the same 7200rpm drive. Which isn't really sufficent for 1080p editing. However it might be as simple as enabling it from within premiere pro like I mention earlier. If it's enabled though please check the bit-rate of your video you're attempting to edit with because I'm assuming that might be the issue.

No GPU acceleration in Premiere CC

I just installed Premiere Pro CC. It does not allow me to turn on GPU acceleration: in Project Settings,
the renderer says (in light gray) "Mecury Playback Engine Software only".
i've used my GeForce GT 240 in GPU acceleration mode happily for years on CS6. Why am i
unable to use it in CC? I even tried the hack (adding my card to the cuda_supported_cards.txt file).
Any suggestions?

I updated the drivers and i have MPE hardware acceleration again!
thanks for the suggestion.
(i have 1 GB of VRAM)

Windows GPU acceleration or Mac Pro 2013?

Illustrator 18 now has "Windows GPU acceleration" with an Adobe-certified NVIDIA graphics card. Based on NVIDIA technology called NV Path Rendering that is implemented as an extension to OpenGL. So, before I go out and by myself a PC. I would like to know how this compares to the Mac Pro offering Dual AMD FirePro D700 GPU's.
Currently the impression I get is that upgrading from my Mac Book Pro to a Mac Pro, may not be worth the investment. In particular, I occasionally use Final cut Pro and Maya so was looking at the 6 core or 8 core, but with the slower clock speeds and the current lake of multicore / multithreading in illustrator got me questioning the upgrade.
Anyone pointer appreciated?
Regards,

...gee, I thought I'd get a reply on this one.
Adobe - you there? What have you planned for the Mac pro / illustrator users.

Supported NVIDIA graphics cards for GPU acceleration in Premiere CS 5.5

I will buy a graphic card from the list below.
GeForce GTX 285 (Windows and Mac OS)
GeForce GTX 470 (Windows)
GeForce GTX 570 (Windows)
GeForce GTX 580 (Windows)
Those are some of cards from" Nvidia Official Site" that are supported for GPU accelerate.
http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html
Problem is I could not find any of GTX series neither in Sarajevo nor in İstanbul. There is only GTX 560 from Asus. It is almost $260. So, if I buy this card, will it accelerate my GPU for pure HD video editing ? I believe it can but it is not in the list.

eXtreme Power Supply Calculator
Get the Pro version, set system load to 100% and capacitor aging to 30% and then add 10-15% for safety to the calculated wattage.
Navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, open cuda_supported_cards.txt and add a line like:
GeForce GTX 560 Ti or the card you get and then save the file. Beware to get a version with at least 1 GB VRAM of the DDR5 type.
Look here: Benchmark Results and see comparable systems at rank 476 and 477 out of 492 today. That is why I said the system is underpowered and the only way to solve it is by getting a new system.

Enabling GPU rendering in Premiere Pro CS3

Hi,
I've just built a computer for dedicated video editing and I am having trouble setting it up with Premiere. It takes a prohibitively long time to render anything.
It's running Windows 7 Home Premium and I've installed my copy of Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.
I've read that I will probably have to configure my computer / Premiere Pro to use the GPU to process the rendering but I don't know how to do this.
Would anyone be able to give me some (really easy to follow) pointers about how to set up and configure my PC to utilise the graphics card for processing?
Many thanks,
Jonny

Hardware and GPU editing in Premiere Pro

Hey guys, I have a terrible doubt abt my hardware..
I have
-i5 4th generation
-8gb ram
-GPU GTX570 CUDA 480
Standard Memory Config 1280 MB GDDR5
Memory Interface Width 320-bit
I'm aware that this is not the best of pc of the world.. but I need to edit videos as Mov, MTS, natives formats of cameras.. I want to improve my PC. Which is better to invest Processor or GPU? I wanna improve my workflow,
preview better with effects etc.
Some Help please.
Thank you!

Bill/cc_merchant,
So you are saying that there is a limit to the number of Cuda cores that Pr will use? That going from 480 cores to 1536 (or more) will not show any appreciable improvement in rendering speed? Especially without knowing whether or not his CPU is maxed while rendering or what kinds of effects he is using?
I ask this because (1) I really want to understand where the best bang for my buck rendering is going to go and (2) I'm in a similar position to Felipe. I need to upgrade because my render times are out of control. I try to stick to effects that benefit from GPU rendering and believe that is the direction Adobe is going and that, eventually, in so far as they can be adapted, all effects will eventually benefit from GPU rendering. Am I way off base here?
I have a similar GPU (560ti, 1GB, Pr GPU .txt hack), but other parts of my system are significantly different (i7-3770, 16GB, RAID 0 SSD OS and Rendering drives). I need to do something because my render times are way longer than I think they should be these days (up to 4:1 render time to display time (or MUCH more with Neat denoise, which is supposed to be Cuda core capable)).
I cannot find any definitive information regarding what Pr benefits from and what its limitations are. For example, is there a limit to the number of Cuda cores that Pr will use (effectively) and are more cores more important than more VRAM? Especially in light of the relatively huge VRAM available on Quadro cards. What is the recommended minimum VRAM that any Cuda card should have these days, especially in light of future capabilities, such as 4K and/or built-in effects.
Thanks for any light you can shed on this subject because I haven't been able to find any! I'm on a limited budget and can't afford to spend $2-5K on an "ultimate" system.
Scott
PS. I don't believe in overclocking because it (1) can cause hard to track instability problems and (2) increases temperatures and every 10-15% increase in temp, results in about 1/2 the life expectancy of the components.

Media Encoder not starting from Premiere Pro

I'm having issues Exporting from Premiere Pro - I'd rather queue it through Media Encoder so I can move onto the next edit, but when I select Queue and Media Encoder opens, it doesn't do anything - simply sits there with "Not Currently Encoding" as opposed to importing the data to export.
Help?
Adobe Media Encoder, 6.0.2.81
Also installed other CC products Ps, Pr, Id, Lr, Ai, etc
I have run Adobe Updater but no updates available for Me.
Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Lion)
I am using Adobe Media Encoder through a Creative Cloud Membership subscription
Project is 6 minute film shot on Sony FS700 (AVCHD) and exports from Premiere Pro
No error message, just no action from the Application
Have not seen the problem before - most of my work is vi Canon 5D MK III, so maybe it's a Sony Codec issue? Though I have exported footage from this camera before though...
Apple MacBook Pro, 17",
I am using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration in Premiere Pro
Cheers

Finally got fed up and rang Adobe (if all else fails...)
Video Support Team Member opened my Library folder (Go\Go to folder...\~/Library/) then went into \Preferences\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\ and changed the folder called 6.0 to 6.0old (i.e. rename it to anything else), then hit Queue in Premiere Pro and the project successfully opened in Media Encoder and was able to start encoding.
Hopefully that helps someone else suffering the same issue!

Premiere Pro and R9 290 OpenCL Issues

I am at a loss of things to try, so if anyone has any suggestions I would be more than happy to try them:
First the system:
Intel i7 4770k
Asus Maximus Hero VI
R9 290
R9 290
256 SSD for OS
1TB SSD for Video
1375w PSU
Full Waterloop.
Ive been on 14.11.2 beta drivers for ever. Everything works just fine on them I can use OpenCL mercury playback etc... but if I update to any newer driver 14.12 Omega, or 15.4 Beta when I try to use GPU acceleration in Premiere Pro i see a black screen. Timeline plays and sound plays but no video.
If i go to export the timeline AME is able to use OpenCL to export it and I see load on my GPUs... Why cant I figure out how to get Adobe Premiere to show the video?
Things I have tired:
Reimaging / Reinstalling Win 7 and Win 8.1 both work on 14.11.2 (OpenCL 1.2) neither work on 14.12 or 15.4 (OpenCL 2.0).
Disabling OpenCL GPU playback works, but then i have to deal with rendering and poor performance
Uninstalling and Reinstalling CC 2014, newest updates etc...
Flash both video cards back to stock bios.
Update Mobo bios and all drivers from Asus.
HELP!

Intel Haswell GPU acceleration in CC?

Has anyone tried Intel Haswell integrated graphics chips for GPU acceleration in Adobe Premiere Pro CC? If so: cigar? No cigar?
(I realize Haswell is neither supported nor is anywhere in the same performance bracket with discrete desktop GPUs from AMD and NVidia, and clearly isn't going to make you return your GTX-Titan. Just curious if GPU acceleration is at all possible given Haswell's hardware support for OpenCL and other neat tricks.)

Premiere Pro CC cannot use Intel graphics for hardware acceleration.
Guess things change pretty fast in Adobe town...

GTX 770 in Premiere Pro 5.5 not performing well.

I bought a GTX 770 to improve the mercury playback performance in Premiere Pro 5.5. So far I see no improvements at all over my previouse 9600 GT card. Am I wasting my money and should I send it back, or are there some settings that I´m missing? I have added the GTX 770 to the cuda supported card list and switched on mercury playback in Premiere. I have also checked that cuda is enabled for Premiere Pro in the Nvidia control panel.

I have this setup:
CPU: i7 920, 2.67GHz
Ram: 12Gb

I guess, from what I can read of the table I belong in the GTX 650 segment, so I´m not that much of. Anyway after reading the link John posted it cleared up a couple things for me. CUDA only accelerate some effects while I thought it would enhance everything. I tried putting Magic lantern 5D3 raw footage in the timeline and was hoping it would play smoothly. I was also hoping the dynamic link from after effects would perform better with nativ 5D3 HD material.
The slow CPU (unless heavily overclocked) and the low amount of RAM are your two bottlenecks. In addition, the version of Magic lantern you used might not support GPU acceleration in Premiere Pro CS5.5 (if it doesn't, then the renders will be entirely in software-only mode).

AMD GPU acceleration unavailable. (OpenCL)

Hello,
I want to activate GPU acceleration for Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 however within project settings the bar is grayed out with 'Mercury Playback Engine Software Only' as the selected option.
I contacted adobe chat support and they got me to do the following:
1. Uninstall Premiere and remove preferences
2. Uninstall all AMD drivers (including the OpenCL driver I installed)
3. Restart my computer
4. Re-install Amd drivers then Premiere.
I also used GPU-Z to determine if my GPU is OpenCl enabled, which it is. (Screenshot: http://puu.sh/fsgBP.png)
None of this worked and my problem is still the same.
Computer specs:
Intel i7-4790 CPU 3.60GHz
16.0 GB RAM (15.8 GB usable)
AMD Radeon R9 290 GPU 4096 MB VRAM
Help pls

I have just run into this problem. A 4 camera multicam with Lumetri on 3 of the 4 cameras resulting in a straight Quicktime 422 render slowdown of approximately 60x (i.e., 11 minute clip took 11 hours to render). I killed the Lumetri effects, replaced them with some manual (and simple) color correctors, and now the 11 minute clip renders in 11 minutes (give or take). It is a shame that it took me a day to track down this information. Perhaps Adobe should at least warn people that Lumetri and the AMD Radeon 6750M with OpenCL are a match made in hell.

Premiere CS6 crashes after enabling GPU acceleration

is there a reason this would be happening? i'm running the Nvidia 680M.

I'm currently running 8.17.13.271. when i attempt to install the new driver (306.97) for the 680M i get 'could not find compatible hardware'
The GPU seems to run fine when i don't enable GPU acceleration. after i enable GPU acceleration in the nvidia control panel i get major problems. computer crashes on boot on premiere and after effects. It takes me about 2 hours to get it to boot out of safe mode after it crashes.

New Nvidia Graphics Cards for Premiere GPU Acceleration

Hi! I'm looking for a new laptop. Under the list of the cards usesd for GPU Acceleration in Premiere (http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.edu.html), none of the new GTX 700m's are listed. Is the list of acceptable GPUs out of date and the 700s do work, or do the 700s really not work? Thanks!

Hi Chris,
For Premiere Pro CC we made some chnages to our GPU support. See this post by Al Mooney.
Also, some customers may be aware that in the past there was a not-so-secret way of enabling non-supported GPUs by the ‘hacking’ or removal of a text file. This is no longer necessary in Premiere Pro CC. As long as you have a reasonably modern card with at least 1GB of VRAM, you will still be able to enable that card in the Project Settings dialog. A warning message will appear letting you know that your card has not been certified by Adobe, but once that dialog is clicked through you can use your GPU. The team does try to certify as many GPUs as possible, but we can’t test everything, so this is a way to let you decide if you’re happy using an untested configuration.
