Hi Warrior,
Premiere Pro CC should work in open CL mode.
Thanks

  • Premiere Pro CS5 Mercury hardware compatibility!

    Hi everybody,
    I intend on purchasing Production Premium and I would like to know if this graphics card will be able to enable the hardware support on the mercury playback engine ( note that i'm not doing 2k 4k work just HD, and not a lot of video tracks 1-6 max).
    The graphics card in question is this http://www.gainward.com/main/vgapro.php?id=197.
    Thank you for your help,
    RObinetus

    Welcome to the forum.
    There are current lists of fully-supported graphics cards here, and in the Hardware sub-forum. The easiest way to tell is to look at those lists.
    Also note: nVidia and Adobe are working on other cards too, so checking for updates to the lists would be a good tack.
    Good luck,

  • New Mac Pro / Premiere Pro CC / Open CL - Known issue??

    Hi all
    I've been using Premiere Pro CC on a new Mac Pro since it was delivered in January.  After some initial teething issues and system crashes everything was running VERY nicely until the last update (build 33) but since then I have been encountering all kinds of issues.
    PP is now constantly freezing and crashing not only the software itself but the entire system requiring a reboot.  Whenever I need to render I get all kinds of weird and wonderful glitches in the images and I've had to turn off GPU accel through Open CL just to get the system workable again.
    So my question - are these known issues with build 33 or is something else going on??
    Another issue unrelated to Open CL (i think) is that XML import / export now appears to be bugged to the point of being unusable.  Very very frustrating!

    Hi simonspear,
    Please check the forum discussion which states the same issue. Hope it helps.

  • New MAC PRO: itunes audio playback-stuttering, glitching, skipping

    I have a brand new mac pro 3.2ghz quad, with 8gb ram (bought a couple weeks ago). All seems fine with the exception of brief skips, glitches and stutters with audio playback in itunes. I tried updating to itunes 11 and this did not resolve the problem. My music files play fine on my girlfriends macbook pro (purchased over a year ago), and never had any problems on my old machine (imac 24inch aluminum). I went to apple with the problem and after multiple system recoveries they determined that the computer was faulty and sent me a replacement. I just received the replacement and tested out some downloaded music from the itunes store and the same problem happened. Am I just unlucky to get two computers with this issue? Is it the Mac Pros? Has anyone had this issue with mac based machines, specifically the mac pros? I saw another thread on the issue but seemed to be primarily windows users running itunes. The skipping happens as frequent as every 20-30 seconds to every few minutes, but it is definitely enough to notice
    Thanks.
    Baffled,

    Hi Greg.
    I seem to have discovered this problem this weekend. I listen to a lot of music from my apple devices and have done for years. What I have noticed this weekend is that both my Macbook 2008 and iMac late 2010 both suffer with a brief stutter every minute or so making the enjoyment of listening to music a little annoying. Both are running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. My iMac is running the 2.93 GHz intel i7 processor with 8GB ram. Playing music should be a doddle!
    From my point of view both Macs are running independently to external speakers. The music I am running on those 2 devices has been ripped on both devices. e.g. Macbook has ripped and plays Apple Lossless format and my iMac has ripped and plays songs in 320kbps. My guess is its a bug with the new iTunes 11 or Mountain Lion although I have been using 11 since its release.
    While I'm not able to supply a fix I think its safe to say its not your new Mac Pro. One other thing to note is that I have been running up until this weekend a 7 or 8 year old Mac Mini as a media device in my kitchen playing Apple Lossless format with no issues at all. This device however is running Snow Leopard with all updates applied. The Macbook is now playing the Lossless music with stutters that was ripped on the Mac Mini that was playing OK.
    So is the problem Mountain Lion?
    Take care

  • Mac Pro 5,1 processor compatibility?

    I have a 2010 8 core 2.4GHz Mac Pro and for curiosity's sake I wanted to know what my options were in terms of upgrade? I just got the unit, so no changes are immediate. But it's my understanding that I could eventually swap the 2.4 chips for faster 3.33 chips or whatever may come along with the Westmere cores? I do understand the memory would need to be upgraded as well.

    I would have said don't buy 2.4GHz, and skip on 8-core. Inside the 14 days? would have been nice to read and ask here, and check out
    http://www.macperformanceguide.com
    You could buy low end and drop in a faster 4 or 6-core is much easier and cheaper to buy (W3500/3600) on single processor as even i7's work.
    I don't know if Xeon will ever drop or be cheap enough to be reasonable upgrade. And then usually the BIOS (EFI) has to support said new processor or stepping, which may not happen (Apple doesn't do EFI updates for such things, they sell new models).
    SSDs, adequate RAM, depends what you do, and whether you need Quadro 4000 or what software. Nehalem brought the memory controller into the processor and MacSAles does have a Mac Pro cpu Turnkey program, but way expensive.
    The memory you have should be fine, but I would stick to ECC and forget any bargain buys.
    I prefer shop these instead of new usually

  • Mercury Graphics Engine, Mercury Playback Engine

    I am confused by the required graphics hardware needed to support GPU processing by Adobe Photoshop & Premier CS-6.
    Photoshop CS6: "Mercury Graphics Engine" (MGE):
    My understanding is that ALL MGE functions are supported by both NVIDIA (CUDA) and AMD (OpenCL).
    If this is true, then which of these cards (gaming is not a concern) would give the best PS6 performance:
    NVIDIA GTX 560 Ti 448 (? 1.2GB, not clear on this) ($270)
    AMD Radeon HD 6870 2GB ($220)
    AMD Radeon HD 6870 1GB ($160)
    Premier Pro CS6: "Mercury Playback Engine" (MPE):
    MPE is even more confusing. Here it seems that CUDA and OpenCL do not both offer the same support.
    It seems that AMD OpenCL will NOT support these MPE effects:
    Fast Blur effect
    Gaussion Blur effect
    Directional Blur effect
    Basic 3D effect
    However, I am not, in general, interested in 'special effects' on my underwater nature videos!
    I do now use PP4, but only do color correction, occasional sharpening or blurring, and a lot of cross-fade/cut-through-black transitions. So would MPE speed up any of these processes?
    If NVIDIA chips are the only ones which support full MPE playback, does the GTX 560 do so? Looking on adobe (http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/mercury-playback-engine.edu.html) the GTX 470, 570, 580 are listed as compatible - GTX 560 is not mentioned.
    Finally, what about AMD CrossFireX and Nvidia's SLI?
    Do CrossFireX and SLI both support all functions of MGE and MPE?
    That is, if one uses two identical (to be safe) graphics cards, will MGE & MPE both be able to take advantage of all of the GPUs?
    Long and complicated post, I know - but Thanks for any help!
    Incidentally, since I think it clear what my needs are (Modest budget Image and Video processing - not gaming) do any of you have other suggestions for a cost effective configuration giving the most bang-for-the-buck. I will not be building this system until W8 is out and stable with CS6.
    Again, thank you for any help with this.

    If NVIDIA chips are the only ones which support full MPE playback, does the GTX 560 do so? Looking on adobe (http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/mercury-playback-engine.edu.htm l) the GTX 470, 570, 580 are listed as compatible - GTX 560 is not mentioned.
    What's not listed is not supported, it's as simple as that.
    Do CrossFireX and SLI both support all functions of MGE and MPE?
    Crossfire and SLI are just methods to connect multiple cards in addition to your PCI lanes. Connecting the wrong two cards doesn't make any of this work. Same rules apply: What's not listed is not supported.

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 Playback Issue / Crash Mac Pro 2011

    Hi,
    I've been having a big crash issue on Premiere Pro CC 2014, since the 2014.1 update.
    2014.0 has been working fine this year but the update has crashed some of my biggest current projects.
    Programs just starts fine, workspace responds, but anything related to playback just crashes or freezes Premiere.
    My config:
    Mac Pro Mid 2010
    Processor : 2x2,93 6-core Xeon
    Ram : 24Go 1333
    2x ATI Radeon HD 5770.
    I've been reading all major topics on this, this i did :
    - disable Mercury Transmission
    - Flushes Premiere cache
    - Reinstall premiere
    - Updated to Mavericks (issue happened both in 10.9 and 10.10 - thought updating drivers+opencl would help, then again no)
    - Repaired permissions
    - Tried with another user session
    … and so on.
    Nothing yet has solved my issue, anyone to help me on this major trouble ?
    Thanks in advance, best regards !
    Paul

    Hi Paul,
    Try the following:
    Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
    Update any GPU drivers
    Trash preferences
    Ensure Adobe folder preferences are set to read/write in all 3 locations.
    Delete media cache
    Remove plug-ins
    Repair permissions
    In Sequence Settings > Video Previews, change the codec to one that matches your footage
    Disconnect any third party hardware
    Disable App Nap
    Reboot
    I placed the chief culprits in bold.
    Report back if anything here worked for you.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • Nvidia Geforce 670 and the Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration for Adobe Premiere Pro

    Will Adobe test and certify the Nvidia Geforce GTX 670 for use with the mercury playback engine GPU acceleration feature of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 in the near future? Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks in advance for any help.

    Adobe only certifies after extensive testing... For many others, with at least 1Gig of video ram, use the nVidia Hack http://forums.adobe.com/thread/629557 - which is a simple entry in a "supported cards" file - and Mac http://www.vidmuze.com/how-to-enable-gpu-cuda-in-adobe-cs6-for-mac/

  • Premiere Pro CS5.5 Playback problem (when mtulti tasking) (Mac)

    Hi,
    I have this very weird problem with preimiere pro CS5.5. I've only experienced this today and I've already restarted my mac a number of times and the problem still persists.
    Basically, I start up premiere then work on a project, I can do playback no problem, I scrub through the timeline there is audio working, I press the spacebar, the clips play no problems
    HOWEVER as soon as I switch (cmd-tab) to let's say Firefox or just even leave premiere for another window. Playback stops working, pressing spacebar won't do anything also even clicking the play button on premiere won't work. I would need to start premiere all over again. The program doesn't hang but te playback just stops working, when I scrub through the timeline, the video moves but there is no audio.
    I hope someone can shed light over my problem thanks.
    I have never encountered this problem for over a year ever since working on premiere pro CS5/ CS5.5
    I'm on a iMac 21.5 inch late 2010.

    I just had a similar issue (Mac OS 10.7.3) Premiere Pro CS 5.5.2 was getting very unstable, seemed like it was very sluggish. When I switched to another app, then back to Premiere, pressing Play or spacebar didn't do anything. However if I waited a long time, like a minute, it came back to live. I'm not sure what is going on with my Premiere Pro these days, but it seems like it's gettings slower for me. One thing I do is to use Cocktail to clean the system caches, the reboot, and it seems this temporarily helps Premiere Pro, but after a time it gets boggy again.
    Any advice on what to 'clear' to get PPro in an optimized state? I have a relatively older Mac Pro, 8 core but with 24GB of ram and nVidia 4000. It might be my imagination but it seemed 5.0 and 10.6 was faster and more stable than this, but who knows. Any advice is appreciated.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CC crush - no Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration (OPEN CL)

    I was an happy customer of Adobe CC till few days ago.
    It were a few weeks I did not update the software in CC due to a problem with connection.
    Needed to use Premiere Pro CC. It always crushes my MacBook Pro retina 2012 (16 giga ram) during export of the video. The monitor became black and there was no way to restart.
    The Macbook worked smoothly with all the other softwares. Deleted CC and reinstalled everything, which was quit painful. However, at the end of the day, Premiere Pro CC works but I cannot use Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (open CL) which I used all the times before with huge advantage (exporting a 1 minute video in good quality needed 2 minutes with GPU accelerator, 20 minutes without).
    When I open old project of Premiere Pro cc I read this message "this project was last used with Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration (OPEN CL), which is either not available or not certified on this system. Mercury Playback Engine software only will be used". There is no way to change the rendered from Project setting - Mercury Playback Engine software is the only option.  
    My question: is it a problem with Adobe Premiere Pro CC or with my graphic?

    Ask in the Premiere forum.

  • Adobe premiere pro CS5.5 Mercury playback engine with CUDA

    Hello,
    I am trying to turn on the mercury playback engine to use my graphic card (Geforce 9800 GT)
    I have modified that cuda_supported_cards.txt using my graphic card name and when I tried to save it it says access denied
    so I have copied that cuda_supported_cards.txt file to the desktop and modified it and replaced it back in to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5   .
    After all this the mercury engine with cuda is not turning on
    Is it becasue my graphic card will not support to CS5.5?
    Please help me.....
    Thank you...

  • Mercury Playback Engine on Premiere Pro 8.0

    I have the older version of Premiere Pro CC working well on my PC W8 using my GTX680. I discovered that I had installed the new Premiere Pro (2014) on my PC. When I started it up there was a message about the GPU acceleration and I found that the Mercury Playback Engine option was greyed out.I checked the text file and found my card listed there and I do not know what to do.

    I have started PP CC 2014 several times and the Mercury Playback Engine option is always greyed out while the older version of PP CC still runs with Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration. Do you know what that notice said to do? Was it something about updating drivers?

  • Random Playback glitches with Premiere CC 7.2.2 on Mac Pro 2014

    I am having random playback glitches on my Mac Pro 2014. I can't figure out the cause since its only in the playback and export of the footage. The source footage is glitch free.
    I have noticed these two warnings when loading Premiere and Encode.
    [cl_invalid_operation] OpenCL Error : Failed to retrieve device information! Invalid enumerated value!
    Are the glitches due to this OpenCL Error and how can I fix it?

    Ya, I'm very confused that this glitch is so below the radar. I would have imagine the editors would be up in arms. Unless they found some solution for it that's out there somewhere.
    Because paying so much for a system which can't be fully utilized in a production is definitely cause for concern.
