How to use GPU acceleration in final rendering process in AE CS6 updated?

Hello guys!
Maybe my question is a frequent, but in fact I didn't get answer listing FAQs here.
So I have new NVIDIA Geforce card where CUDA supported. I enabled Ray-Traced 3d in "composition Settings" Advanced tab and also in fast preview settings. Everything OK and I can see no errors, but when I try to render one of video hive's projects, I see that CPU's  load is 95-100% but GPU's is only 0-2%. What is the secret? How to use GPU for project rendering?

The GPU is used very little by After Effects.
See this page for details of what the GPU is used for in After Effects:

  • How did I get better compression when using GPU acceleration?

    Hello,
         I was just making a short, 1:12-long video encoded as H.264 in an MP4 wrapper. I had edited the video in Premiere Pro CC, and was exporting through Adobe Media Encoder at a framerate of 29.97 FPS and a resolution of 1920x1080. I wanted to do a test to see how much GPU acceleration benefits me. So, I ran two different tests, one with and one without. The one with GPU acceleration finished in 2:09. The one without it took 2:40, definately enough to justify using GPU acceleration (my GPU is an NVidia GTX 660 Ti which I have overclocked). I am sure my benefits would be even greater in most videos I make, since this one had relatively few effects.
    However, I checked the file sizes out of curiosity, and found that the one made with GPU acceleration was 175 MB in size, and the other was 176 MB. While the difference is pretty small, I am wondering why it exists at all. I checked the bitrates, and the one made with GPU acceleration is 19,824 KB/s, whereas the other is 19,966 KB/s. I used the exact same presets for both. I even re-encoded the videos again just to test it and verify the results, and the second test confirms what the first showed.
    So, what I am wondering is: What is it that made this possible, and could this be used to my advantage in future productions?

    As I said in my original post, I did test it again. I have also ran other tests, with other sequences, and they all confirm that the final file is smaller when GPU acceleration is used.
    Yes, the difference is small but I'm wondering how there can even be a variable at all. If you put a video in and have it spit it out, then do that again, the videos should be the same size. It's a computer program, so the outputs are all based on variables. If the variables don't change, the output shouldn't either. For this reason, I cannot believe you when you say "I can, for example, run exactly the same export on the same sequence more than once, are rarely are they identical in export times or file size."

  • AME takes a long time to start encoding when using GPU Acceleration (OpenCL)

    Have had this issue for a while not (current update as well as at least the previous one).
    I switched to using GPU Hardware Acceleration over Software Only rendering. The speed for the actual encoding on my Mac is much faster that software only rendering. However, more often than not, the encoding process seems to stick at 0% waiting to start for a long time, say anywhere from 1 minute to several minutes. Then it will eventually start.
    Can't seem to find what is causing this. Doesn't seem related to any particular project, codec, output format or anything else I can see. I'd like to keep using GPU Acceleration but it's pointless if it takes 5 times as long to even start as rendering by software-only would. It doesn't even pass any elapsed time while it's hanging or waiting. Says at 0 until it starts. Like I said, once it starts, it's a much faster render than what the software would take. Any suggestions? Thanks.
    using an iMac, 3.4Ghz, 24GB RAM, AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB

    Actually, I just discovered it doesn't seem to have anything to do with OpenCL. I just put the rendering back to software only and it is doing the same thing. hangs for a long time before it starts to run. Activity monitor shows it running 85-95% CPU, 17 threads and about 615 MB of memory. Activity Monitor doesn't say its not responding, it just seems kind of idle. It took almost 7 minutes for it to start rendering.
    1- Running version 7.2.2.29 of Media Encoder,
    version 7.2.2 (33) of Premiere.
    2- Yes, a premiere project of HD 1080 source shot with Canon 60D, output to H.264 YouTube 720, fps 23.976
    not sure what you are referring to by native rendering. The rendering setting i tried now is Mercury Playback Engine Software Only if that is what you are referring to. But OpenCL gives me the same issue now.
    3- H.264 YouTube 720, 23,976 - seems to happen on multiple output types
    4- In Premiere, I have my project timeline window selected. Command-M, selected the output location I wanted and what output codec, selected submit to Queue. Media Encoder comes up, the project loads and I select the run icon. It preps and shows the encoding process setup in the "Encoding" window, then just sits there with no "Elapsed" time occurring until almost 5-6 minutes later, then it kicks in.

  • Does LR2 use GPU acceleration?  Other system requirements?

    Does LR2 use GPU acceleration as Photoshop CS4 does?
    Do you think this machine will run LR2 for some time to come:
    Dell Studio with Intel Q9400 quad core; 8GB RAM; 750GB hard disk.
    Currently using integrated graphics, but there is a PCI x16 slot available.

    >Does LR2 use GPU acceleration as Photoshop CS4 does?
    No
    >Do you think this machine will run LR2 for some time to come:
    Yes that's more than beefy enough. To use that 8 gigs, make sure you run 64-bit windows vista on it.

  • How to use the 'Decision between multiple alternatives' Process variant

    Hi ,
    Can anyone tell me how to use the 'Decision between multiple alternatives' Process variant in BI 7 Process chains ?
    The requuirement is that I have a DSO eg DSO 1 from which i have to load DSO 2 and DSO 3 . Now if the number of Records in DSO 1 are < 100 i will load DSO 2 from DSO 1 else i will load DSO 3 from DSO 1 .
    So in the PC i have used a 'ABAP Program' variant (which counts the number of rows in DSO 1) after loading DSO 1 and  after this 'ABAP Program' Variant , i have used the 'Decision between multiple alternatives' Process variant. Problem is it is giving me only some some system fields in the formula , like sy-datum or sy-timlo , which are of no use here .
    It would be great if i can receive some help here .
    --Devraj

    in RSPC you create a ABAP processing type "ending with specific values".
    We use true or false for things as you specify.
    your abap program should return a true or a false to indicate which of the situations is applicable.
    Is this helpful?

  • Black Screen (source and preview) when using GPU acceleration (CUDA) [NVidia GTX 780M]

    Hi guys!
    I am running Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 on Windows 7 (Ult) on a machine equipped with NVidia GTX 780M (4 GB VRAM) graphics card. The source and the preview monitors are both black if I select GPU accelerated rendering. There is a yellow bar above the timeline clips, I can hear the sound tracks, but there is no image. If I choose the Software Only rendering (CPU) then I do see the image as well, but the real-time playback and rendering times are awful!
    At first, the application would not allow me to use the GPU acceleration using NVidia’s CUDA processing. Once I entered my video card name in the “cuda_supported_cards.txt” file in the Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 folder I was able to choose between Mercury Playback Engine Software Only and Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration CUDA.
    I tried downgrading the video card driver to the previous stable version and reinstall Pr – no go. How do I make Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 work with my NVidia GTX 780M video card?
    Your insight is appreciated!
    P.S. I used to work on a different machine equipped with NVidia GTX 670M card (which is also missing from the officially supported Pr CS6 cards list) and I never had any issues of this nature with that laptop.

    Hi there,
    As stated before, I had the same problem. Apparantly the solution for me was to check the Nvidia settings. My setup has both an onboard GPU and a Nvidia GPU (on purpose specifically for video editing and gaming). Normally the system should switch to Nvidia automatically. However, the Nvidia settings for Premiere where set to favor the onboard GPU. After changing this. everything works fine again!
    kind regards. Bart

  • Media Encoder CC not using GPU acceleration for After Effects CC raytrace comp

    I created a simple scene in After Effects that's using the raytracer engine... I also have GPU enabled in the raytracer settings for After Effects.
    When I render the scene in After Effects using the built-in Render Queue, it only takes 10 minutes to render the scene.
    But when I export the scene to Adobe Media Encoder, it indicates it will take 13 hours to render the same scene.
    So clearly After Effects is using GPU accelleration but for some reason Media Encoder is not.
    I should also point out that my GeForce GTX 660 Ti card isn't officially supported and I had to manually add it into the list of supported cards in:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC\Support Files\raytracer_supported_cards.txt
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CC\cuda_supported_cards.txt
    While it's not officially supported, it's weird that After Effects has no problem with it yet Adobe Media Encoder does...
    I also updated After Effects to 12.1 and AME to 7.1 as well as set AME settings to use CUDA but it didn't make a difference.
    Any ideas?

    That is normal behavior.
    The "headless" version of After Effects that is called to render frames for Adobe Media Encoder (or for Premiere Pro) using Dynamic Link does not use the GPU for acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer.
    If you are rendering heavy compositions that require GPU processing and/or the Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing, then the recommended workflow is to render and export a losslessly encoded master file from After Effects and have Adobe Media Encoder pick that up from a watch folder to encode into your various delivery formats.

  • How to disable GPU acceleration, really?

    I disabled GPU acceleration from settings menu but it is not effective.
    I did it from "''about:config''" menu "''gfx.direct2d.disabled -true''" but also not working.
    I did disable for all extension to check them but still have problem.
    The problem is firefox using my GPU on maximum clocks even for a '''simple page scrolling'''.
    It causes GPU clocks go up and down continuously, and VGA cooler also speeds up and goes down which creates cooler noise fluctuation.
    It is really irritating.
    Only thing I can do is to run firefox in windows xp compatibility mode.
    But this is just an interim solution.
    Now I updated version 11 and this still not fixed.
    I wrote about this problem a few times but still nothing.

    GPU accelerated pages=0 means Firefox is not using acceleration. The spike in the GPU clock when scrolling could be the Windows graphics acceleration. You can also try to file a detailed report [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ here.]

  • Can SpeedGrade use GPU Acceleration in New Mac Pro?

    Good afternoon, I would like to know if Adobe SpeedGrade is able to take advantage of GPU acceleration AMD FirePro D500 installed in the brand new Mac Pro. Thanks in advance for your reply.

    Reason: More searchable title

    Supported GPU technologies (Mac):
    - AMD/nVidia OpenCL for direct link in MacOS 10.8.5 and higher
    - OpenGL for SG native
    Supported GPU technologies (Win):
    - AMD OpenCL, nVidia Cuda for direct link in Win7,Win8, Win8.1
    - OpenGL for SG native
    Note: Although SG not utilises two GPU's, it should run fine on your new Mac Pro and use OpenCL for acceleration

  • How to use hardware acceleration in Java 2D

    Hi,
    I searched in net and could not find anything clear on hardware acceleration using Java 2D/Swing.
    To use the hardware acceleration, do I need to specify
    -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true ? Is this must?
    Without specifying this, Java 2D calls wont use hardware acceleration?
    Kindly clarify. I could not able to find anything in net for this.
    I am having ATI Radeon AGP card and using Linux as OS. I have installed the ATI driver. Now I need to know how to interact with hardware using Java2D/Swing.

  • Cannot use GPU acceleration with 64 bit CS5 under 64 bit Windows 7 with two cards ATI & nVidia

    Subject sums up the problem, but here are the details:
    My ATI is a 5850, and I have drivers 10.6 installed. That's my primary card connected to my main monitor.
    The second card is an nVidia GTS 250 connected to my second monitor with 258.96 drivers.
    CS5 does not detect my GPU(s), hence, does not enable GPU acceleration. It says:
    "Graphics hardware acceleration is unavailable. You will need to upgrade your video driver and possibly your video card" both of which are obviously wrong, since I have the latest CS5 supporting drivers installed for two cards that can run GPGPU applications!
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    I'm curious about whether the requirement to support HLSL Shader Model 3.0 is a big part of what is holding back GPU acceleration support for ATI cards in Adobe products.  It seems that HLSL Shader Model 3.0 is NVidia/Intel proprietary, whereas GLSL is an open standard like OpenGL.
    What ATI support do you find being held back?  Just curious.  I ask because I have a 2 year old ATI 4670 card that supports Photoshop nicely.  The Catalyst software seems to have embraced whatever's necessary to run Photoshop.*

    * That said, I see a specific bug where sometimes the 32 bit drivers on my x64 system will not be recognized by Photoshop 32 bit as OpenGL-capable at Photoshop startup.  I've reported it to ATI, and they seem to have taken it seriously, so I expect a fix in a future version.  The 64 bit drivers always satisfy Photoshop's needs, so I'm sure it's not a design deficiency but just a lil' ol' bug.

  • How to use CAU in 2012R2 to install the specific kind of update

    Hi all,
    Can any body heklp me how to use CAU to install the specifc kind of update, such only insatll hotfix but not the function update, Thanks.

    
    Hi SpaceTime_L,
    The plug-in Microsoft.HotfixPlugin can be used to apply Microsoft limited distribution release (LDR) updates (also called hotfixes, and formerly called QFEs) that you download
    independently to address specific Microsoft software issues.
    Microsoft.WindowsUpdatePlugin
    Communicates with the Windows Update Agent on each failover cluster node to apply updates that are needed for the Microsoft products that are running on each node.
    Installs cluster updates directly from Windows Update or Microsoft Update, or from an on-premises Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server.
    nstalls only selected, general distribution release (GDR) updates. By default, the plug-in applies only important software updates.
