Mercury Playback Engine and MacBook Pro 15" Retina with GT 650M

Hi there,
I am trying to enable the GPU powered rendering on my MBP Retina with a GT 650M, but Premiere Pro offers me in the project settings only the standard software based way.
How can I enable it?
thanks!

Just because a card has CUDA capabilities does not mean it needs a CUDA driver.
I agree to it but specific to GT 650M, if you check the link shared by me in first post it clearly states in the "Additional infomation" section that "Quadro FX for Mac or GeForce for Mac must be installed prior to CUDA 5.0.36 installation"
hence what I am trying to say here is for GT 650M to have the complete usage of CUDA there has to be specific driver installed that it version 5.0.36 (Latest CUDA Driver).
And like I said, I've seen where installing the CUDA driver with a GeForce actually causes issues, makes things not work.
Agreeing to this as well, Most of the GeForce card doesn't have the CUDA development capability as in GT 650M, hvaing both drivers can cause these conlicts.(http://blogs.nvidia.com/2012/06/new-macbook-pros-make-for-great-cuda-dev-platforms/)
Let me also clarify that Premiere Pro can use either OpenCL or CUDA for GPU processing on the GT 650M if updated to 6.0.2. The default is to use OpenCL. You can change this in the General project settings but the option to select the CUDA is ideally greyed out/inactive if there is no CUDA driver installed with GT 650M.

FAQ: What are CUDA and the Mercury Playback Engine, and how do I use them?

See these articles:
CUDA, Mercury Playback Engine, and Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 improvements in CUDA processing and the Mercury Playback Engine
... and these movies:

The easiest graphical way I would recommend is to search for an example "whats new in yosemite" on youtube, I am sure you will find lots of videos on that.

Using Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with MacBook Pro, Air, Retina (with pictures)

Using Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with MacBook Pro, Air, Retina (with pictures)
The purpose of this discussion thread is to:
(1) Get community thoughts around using alternative and complimentary mousing approaches with MacBooks
(2) To share a current and searchable set of resources for those interested in leveraging a best-of-both-worlds approach for using a non-Apple Trackpoint Keyboard with an Apple MacBook.
(3) To level-set the fact that a Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard works with MacBooks automatically and instantly out-of-the-box.
Note: I created this discussion because I found that all the other discussion threads related to using a Thinkpad Trackpoint Keyboard with MacBooks were archived and therefore I could not post my thoughts there.
I have been using MacBooks for 3+ years now. Airs, Pros, Retinas etc. I LOVE the built-in MacBook Apple Trackpad. It is wonderful. Apple has no equal as far as Trackpads go.
In addition, I have been using the Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with my MacBooks for ~2 years, and below is why I have found BOTH the Apple Trackpad and Thinkpad Trackpoint to be great.
The Trackpoint and Trackpad both have their sweet spots. Personally I use the built-in Apple Trackpad on my MacBooks when I'm using my MacBook for less than 1 hour, loosely speaking. If I am going to be heads-down for more than 1 hr writing, reading, surfing, graphic designing, programming, workshop facilitating, teaching, mindmapping, presenting, demoing, etc. then I pull out my "Lenovo Thinkpad USB Keyboard with Trackpoint (55Y9003) > https://www.google.com/search?&q=lenovo+thinkpad+trackpoint+usb+keyboard
I know many will laugh at me for using a Thinkpad Trackpoint Keyboard with a MacBook... Keeping an open mind, let's just agree that there is historical precedence for alternative mousing devices. If I could only choose one, I would use the Apple MacBook built-in Trackpad exclusively, however with alternatives come potential benefits. Keep in mind that Apple, Microsoft, Logitech and many other companies make millions of dollars each year providing alternative peripheral devices for computers, and mousing is no exception. Regardless, I just want to share my positive experiences using both. :-)
Why should you care? For *some* people the following is true and meaningful. The Trackpoint (the little red eraser head stick thingy) in the midle of the keyboard enables useful and unique dynamics/use-cases, including:
You don't have to take your hand(s) off the keyboard to mouse
You can independantly click without accidentally moving the mouse (Yes I know some people don't have issues with this)
You don't run out of finger-gesture runway when you're moving your mouse across the screen (I know this is a gray area for some people)
For mouse-movement-heavy applications (e.g. Graphics, drawing, etc.) the Trackpoint *is at times* more exacting
Below I share some pictures (which I know *look* ridiculous to some people, but none-the-less help demystify what this looks like. And, while ridiculous looking, it is actually quite thin and elegant once you get over the initial shock of seeing these two diverse technologies combined in this way.
Rest assured, the keyboard shown below (google "55Y9003") is VERY light, thin and fits in almost any laptop case/backpack easily so it is not a big deal to carry it, if you work on-the-go. In addition:
It is UNCANNY how well it fits on top of the keyboard space of all MacBooks.
It fits perfectly around the corners of the MacBook Pro/Air/Retina keyboard
Note: I took one of the 5 rubber feet/pads off the bottom of my keyboard, the one in the middle
Lastly, you can actually use the built-in Apple Trackpad at the SAME TIME as the Trackpoint Keyboard.
It is quite a nice best-of-both-worlds approach for people that like the benefits of the "Why should you care?" use cases above.
Please reply and comment with your thoughts and please let's keep it positive, constructive and friendly :-)
Pictures Below:
My two Retina MBPs, one with and one without the keyboard, so you can easily see the difference. (As if you wouldn't)

Newer Bluetooth version of the ThinkPad External Trackpoint Keyboard available...
The new version is smaller, so you can use your MacBook Trackpad at the same time as your Trackpoint keyboard.
Here is the Lenovo model/Part Number# 0B47190
Here is a picture of what it looks like:
Note: Just like the older larger USB model keyboard, there is a rubbery footpad in the middle of the bottom of the keyboard that I just peeled off. Otherwise, it makes the "H" key press accidentally under-neath the keyboard. Once I took that off, it fit perfectly over and around the built-in MacBook keyboard, so I can optionally put it on top of my MacBook for easy typing. :-)

MacBook Pro 13in(Retina)with only 8G

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 13in(Retina)with only 8G-any recommendations of how to get more memory? (I can't even load a basic desktop pub. program like Printshop)

I think you're confusing RAM with storage. Even the base model MBPr has 128GB of flash storage. The 8gb of ram is temporary storage that your mac uses for the operating system and applications. What exactly do you mean that you can't load even basic programs?

Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps Internet

Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

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?

Enabling Mercury Playback engine for Premiere pro Cs5.5

Hello,
I am trying to turn on the mercury playback engine to use my graphic card (Geforce GTX 560Ti + 1gb Ram)
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...

Run Notepad as an administrator, make the changes to add your card info, then save. That should eliminate the access denied error.

Can the MacBook Pro 15" Retina with 2.0 GHz processor handle editing high-quality videos?

Will the 2.0 GHz processor version be able to handle editing/exporting high-quality videos?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The processor can handle HD video editing without any issue, but the problem comes with the GPU, the Intel Iris Pro GPU.
That GPU is a bit better than the Intel Iris GPU included in the 13-inch MacBook Pro, but it is still not good enough for serious video editing. If you make videos as a hobby or it is not an important task for you, the MacBook Pro with the Intel Iris Pro GPU may be enough, because it works with HD vide editing. However, if you need the best performance, you need to go for the most expensive MacBook Pro, that comes with a NVIDIA GPU

OS X 10.8.2 and Macbook Pro 13 inch with retina display...

I bought a 13 inch macbook pro with retina display 6 days ago and am having issues with updating the OS to OS X 10.8.2. I have downloaded the update and when I attempt to install it flashes up this message " OS X update can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update." I have spoken to the guys at the apple store where I bought it and they said that it was an software corruption and exchanged the machine. However the new machine is still having the same problem so I discussed it with them once more. Now they say there is no update and I have to wait for it to be released. I am confused because the display 13 inch macbook pro with retina displays have the software, OS X 10.8.2, installed. How is that? Anyone know what the **** the truth is and how I remedy my current problems?
Kindest regards

I just tested it and this is what I got on my 2012 MBP:
As this update is from October, it is the regular update for machines prior to mid/late (?) 2012's. We are supposed to test solutions before posting them; in any case, this will not work on 2012's.

Macbook pro 15 retina with UHD display slowness

I have connected a
Samsung display U28D590, to my Mid-2014 MBP 15 Retina with Intel Iris Pro.
My display reports a successful 60hz and is set on DispalyPort 1.2 protocol.
But still when the extra display is connected i experience hiccups, like it gets stuck and i can not move the mouse for a few seconds, sometimes even 10-20 seconds and the keyboard as well at times stops reacting, the system freezes, i think that music playback continues if exists.
i am aware to :
Using 4K displays and Ultra HD TVs with Mac computers - Apple Support
i am not sure about the effect of:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
and i even tried:
How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
i want to know if this is the best results i can get, i would love to hear from users with the same expirience, and also if having the dedicated video card
another interesting thing to note is when i go full screen, in youtube, mac gets hot, but when i play a video from my ssd with vlc and put it full screen it doesn't necesserially happen, and i can watch 2 hours without any fan noise. running the cpu hot for long period as a movie is not recommended if i am not wrong. but most important are the long hiccups.
please help me! thanks in advance.

hi happy,
thank your for you answer. maybe it is the Safari Browser when i hover an Link sometimes it flicker.

Top of the line MacBook Pro 15" Retina with 2 27" thunderbolt displays or top of the line 27" iMac with another 27" display?

I don't know which combination to get... The key is two have dual monitors. I'm a photographer and need the extra workspace. Would there be a noticeable difference in performance? Please help.

I agree with shldr - do you need the portability? A lot - and I mean a lot - of photographers are taking their MBPs with them on location shoots. If you're in a studio all the time, then the iMac should suit you fine. If you shoot on location and need portability then the MBP with two 27" ATDs would be my choice. If, like most photogs, your shooting is both, go with the MBP.
In the end, portability is your only concern. As an ex-pro, if I were buying a computer today, I would not get the Retina display MacBook Pro - I would get the fastest non-Retina and upgrade myself to 16GB of RAM and at least a 512GB SSD (although OWC has a 960GB SSD that looks awfully nice and the price keeps dropping).
So location or studio or both? If location or mixed, MBP. If studio only, iMac.
Pretty simple decision...

Would restoring a MacBook Pro (non-Retina) with a MacBook Pro (Retina) backup cause problems?

I have a Retina MacBook Pro and I recently bought a non-Retina MacBook Pro. I wanted to have all my files and settings from my old MacBook on my new one so I backed up the Retina one using time machine and I used that backup to set up my new MacBook. Will doing this cause any problems to the system?
Thanks,
CK
P.S. I have been experiencing some issues with wifi (it drops the connection often) and I am not sure if that is related.

It should not. Read this:
