Mercury Playback Engine- GTX 560 issue?

Adobe Premiere Pro Cs6
MPEG-2 from a Sony (HVR-Z1U) HDV 1080
Asus P9X79 Motherboard
i7- 3820 @ 3.9ghz, slight overclock. Regular LGA 2011 Intel Fan w/ thermal paste
EVGA GeForce GTX 560- 336 Cuda cores/OpenGL
12 gb GSkill
SSD for boot & software
1 TB Barracuda, 1 TB WD Black, both7200 rpm, each in half= 4 drives (:D,:E,:F,:G) for scratch and storage.
500w Purepower PSU
The card is recognized within CS6 and other various test applications.
With MPE GPU Acceleration Enabled I still have red bars above the footage in several projects. This footage has no effects on it whatsoever. It is merely cut. If I used an Accelerated Effect, the bar will turn to yellow.
When I render the footage with red bars the GPU load is never above like 3%. At times, it will stay at 0%. Needless to say, the render time doesn't not seem very optimized at all. Sloww.
However, after rendering the footage and the green bar appearing, I've added an Accelerated Effect- Sharpen, and it turns red again! The play back is then choppy. It will playback if I reduce resolution but how the heck am I supposed to implement the effects like that?
The minute I open several projects there is either no bar for untouched footage or a red bar. I switch between MPE software and hardware setting and still no yellow bar unless I specifically use an Accelerated Effectnc
Am I simply unclear on the function of MPE and I'm expecting too much?
I am using Magic Bullet's DeNoiser function for 60mins of footage with 18db gain- this is taking 50 hours. I expect it to be long. Is 50 hours too long?
I also have green and pink pixel artifacts as random quarter inch squares.
Is the card bad?
I tried a few earlier drivers...nothing.
I researched the PSU, good reviews on New Egg.
Is this a CPU issue?
Thanks as always for the help guys.

I have done a fresh install of the OS altogether. This was in order to reformat drives, reassign scratch disks, reinstall software and fresh unlocking of the video card.
Premiere Pro acts the same more or less. Noise removal is cpu intensive and when I'm removing 18db of video grain, I guess, yea, it'll be pretty slow.
I believe that the problem is the PSU. NewEgg's PSU calculator says my system needs 525watts minimum. I'm operating on a 500w. At the start of the post I was overlcocking and was also experiencing occasional reboots. I think lack of power caused the artifacts in the GTX 560. This is probably also bottlenecking the CPU and GPU (reason for low loads).
My solution is to purchase 700-850watt psu. I'm hoping this will allow the CPU & GPU the ability to process much higher loads.
Please, if anyone sees any further correction to this I'm open ears!
Cheers.

Premiere Pro CS5.5 mercury playback engine will be supported on GTX 680

Could someone please confirm if Premiere Pro CS5.5 mercury playback engine will be supported on GTX 680.
thanks

Jim,
Your comment was based upon results from the 560 Ti 448 card and that is € 240 or more. The 680 is € 440. That is 45% difference: € 440 - (0.45x440) = € 440 - € 198 = € 242
Your comparison is based on a € 200 GTX 560 model, which only achieves a score of around 120 seconds, which is 55% less expensive (€ 440 - (0.55x440) = € 440 - € 242 = € 198) and more than 225% slower (120 / 53 = 2.26)
So for 55% less expenditure, you lose more than 225% performance. That is very disappointing and would rank in the 'penny-wise-pound-foolish' savings. (But that is how your system can be ranked, at least in the past). There is another major flaw in your reasoning, you are only considering number of CUDA cores, nothing else. You are disregarding all the other aspects of the new architecture and that makes your argument very weak and flawed. You have to consider the number of cores AND the memory bus in combination. Something you obviously overlooked, but although the number of cores tripled in comparison to the 580, the memory bus was reduced to 256 bits width, a 50% reduction. That means that at best the expected performance gain could be 0.5 (memory bus) x 3 (number of cores) = 1.5 and not your 300%.
To summarize:
Now if you want to go the other way, with the 680 as the baseline, you'd say that for 60% less money, you still get 80% of the performance.
For 55% less money, you get 44% of the performance on this test.

GTX 570 and Premiere CS 5.5: Mercury Playback Engine doesn't seem to work

Hi everyone,
I'm getting choppy playback and a red render bar on Premiere CS5.5 whenever I apply to a clip one of this effects: Any effect on the distort folder, noise alpha or Magic Bullet Looks 2.
The sequence is an AVCHD 1080/24p Premiere preset and the media files are AVCHD from a GH2 (1080/24p at 24Mbps).
My system is more or less like this:
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z68X-UD4-B3
Processor: Core i7 2600k
Ram: 16Gb DDR3 1600 Kingston HyperX
Graphics Card: Gigabyte GTX 570 1280 Mb (it comes factory overclocked)
(Only one 1920*1080 monitor is attached to the graphics card right now)
HDDs: 3 Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB lay out as follows:
        c: OS, Program Files, pagefile
        g: Project and media files
        h: previews
And now, the symptons: In an AVCHD 1080/24p sequence with 24Mbps AVCHD clips, all in the same video track, whenever I apply an effect from the distort folder, Magic Bullet Looks or noise alpha (and probably any hardware accelerated effect) the render bar turns from yellow to red and I get choppy playback unless I set the playback resolution to 1/2. If I change the Mercury Playback Engine setting from hardware to software nothing changes. So I'm thinking that the GTX 570 is not working with Premiere CS5.5 for some reason. In this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3736541) some people had similar complains. Also rendering feels pretty slow. For example a 30 seconds clip with a Magic Bullet Looks effect applied takes 150 seconds to turn from red to green.
I've tried completely uninstalling the nvidia drivers and installing the latest ones to no effect. I'm kind of frustrated, I've chosen this system and CS5.5 thinking it was going to be a smooth experience and I'm a bit dissapointed right now. Hopefully there will be a fix for this. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong myself.
Thanks a lot in advance and sorry to bother you with this.
Cheers.
Diego

Thanks a lot Harm and Jim,
I continue to be amazed by the willingness of people around the web to help each other. Maybe there's still some hope for the human race after all.
Regarding my MPE expectations I suppose that it's a sign of the times; spoiled kids like me expecting the world from a new system and then getting dissapointed at the first symptons of something not going as smooth as they think at first. But then again when storytelling costs you more than it pays at the end of the month, sometimes it's difficult not to get into drama-queen mode every now and then.
Sorry for going a little bit off-topic here but, is there away to make completely sure that the graphics card is actually doing its job inside Premiere? This thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3736541 got me a little nervous thinking that it may be a bug or something on CS5.5 that prevents the GTX570 from working properly.
Also is there a way that I can improve general performance and rendering times without investing a lot more in this new machine. I thought about buying a couple of more disks and running a RAID through the motherboard but maybe the impact in processing power is not worth it. Sorry again to ask so many questions but video editing is almost completely new for me. Not so long ago writing was enough for me, but that's not anymore the case. Now, I'm using every storytelling medium that I can. So my mind is always filled with question marks dancing to Tchaikovsky ballet suites and who knows what else.
Thanks a lot again. I hope I can repay the community in a not so distant future.
Regards.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2 gigs ram, will it work with Mercury playback Engine for accelerate

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2 gigs ram, will it work with adobe Mercury playback Engine for accelerated rendering for Premeire Pro cs6?

I am a PC guy but, I have 6 work stations with CS6 but the wife wants a Mac so I am getting her an imac with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2 gigs ram. Do you think this video card in the mac will still be able to utilize the Adobe CS6 MPE?
It's not formally supported by Adobe for GPU acceleration; however judging from the fact that the lesser GTX-650M is (with 6.02 update), and the end-user ability to enable support for unsupported cards in Adobe apps, it should work.

Mercury Playback Engine GPU not available

I've been reading through forum postings and have not found a solution, so I apologize if there is a solution posted elsewhere.
I have a 27" iMac (late 2012) with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX graphics card running Mac OS 10.8.5.
I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.0.3, and when I updated my OS to 10.9 Maverick, I began to experience several problems, including:
The dreaded spinning beachball and "Premiere not responding."
"This project was last used with Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA) which is not available on your system. Mercury Playback Engine Software Only will be used.
Video files - I think they were all .MOV - became "squished" to the top of the Program Monitor (movie only took up about 1/3 of program monitor window).
After a long chat with Adobe Support, he indicated that the update to 10.9 Maverick was the problem, so I:
Updated to Premiere 6.0.5, but that did not fix any of the issues.
Logged in as "Root," which worked for a while but I also received 3 "Premiere encountered problem and must shut down."
Deleted preferences, repaired permissions, basic troubleshooting practices, etc, but problems persisted.
No help.
Eventually I restored my computer from a Time Machine backup to a day prior to the OS 10.9 update, and this seemed to fix all the issues. So I was back to Mac 10.8.5 and Premiere 6.0.3.
But the .MOV-compressed-in-the-program-monitor problem began to surface again (see photo below).
So I updated to Premiere to 6.0.5 (but not my OS - it's still 10.8.5), and the "Mercury Playback Engine" error is back.
And the .MOV files are still compressed in the Program Monitor. I have a project that I completed in 6.0.3, but is now messed up in 6.0.5.
Help please. Is the only solution downgrading to Premiere 6.0.3, and if so, must I do a clean install of the program from the DVD?

Thanks so much for your quick responses.
@Kevin, the strange thing is this: Express purchased this iMac and the Adobe Creative Suite back in January of this year, and the computer and software have worked flawlessly since that time.
It was only after upgrading, first to Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks (which I later downgraded back to 10.8.5), and then to Premiere 6.0.5, that I began experiencing problems.
Prior to these upgrades, I never received the "Missing Renderer" message, nor did I experience any lagging problems or problems relating to .MOVs in the Program Viewer.
Hi Randy,
I'm sorry. I really don't know the answer to your question, or how that happened. All I know is that the card is not supported for CS6. I guess we have a mystery on our hands.
harris1966 wrote:
Any insight on why I never experienced problems until upgrading software?
Sorry, it is behaving as if your text file was hacked prior to you receiving the computer. After you updated the OS, a new text file without your card was created. Your card would not be listed in that file because it is not supported.
harris1966 wrote:
Are you saying that PP doesn't support NVIDIA 680 MX cards "now that the software is at 6.05"? Or PP doesn't support that card at all, under any software version?
The card is supported for Premiere Pro CC, but not prior to that.

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.

Mercury Playback Engine GPU Enabled is greyed out. Why?

Hello,
I'm using Premier Pro CS5 with a Mac Pro, Quad Core CPU x2, 16Gb RAM and the nVidea GTX 285 graphic card from EVGA and I just noticed in the PROJECT SETTING/ VIDEO RENDERING AND PLAYBACK/ RENDERER: Mercury Playback Engine Software Only (is selected). It's also greayed out and I can't change it to GPU enabled on this or any other project. Why? Is there something I need to do?
I have all the supported hardware and yet I'm not getting full use of the Mercury Playback Engine.
Can anyone help please???
Cheers

Colin Thanks!
Downloaded the CUDA drivers and I now have access to the GPU enabled function (in fact it automatically switched to enabled in Premier Pro). I had recently updated the GPU drivers as EVGA offers this feature as a member/customer...whenever I log in to my account with them they advise if a new driver is available. However they don't mention anything about the CUDA drivers (hence the issue with the software only playback capability).
Once again thanking YOU!!!

Cannot enable Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration

Cannot enable Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration.
Just bought a Asus GeForce GTX 560 Ti just so that I can use the graphics acceleration on Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.
Followed every step in most tutorials such as this great one http://vimeo.com/13440307 and yet the Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration option is still faded out.
http://www.urbanistgame.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Cuda-supported.gifAdded the last two lines as wasn't sure if it required "Ti" it only came up as "supported" in the cmd after the "Ti" so I'm guess that's what it required.
You can see in bold I've set the Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration option to "Compatibility performance mode"
   Splash screen confirms Version as 5.0.3 (update to enable Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration).
After all that the "Video Rendering and Playback" option is still faded out.
Any ideas? System Information
List of installed Nvidia programs
Hope someone can help.

PROBLEM SOLVED.
I reinstalled CS5 on the bookdisk and it worked fine. Spent 9 hours trying everything else its really was the only thing left and the last thing I wanted to do.
Results:
Rendering a 32min clip with Gaussian Blur effect
Before CUDA it took 4 hours and hence my move to purchase a CUDA card.
After CUDA 23mins! using Encoder
Question:
I noticed that the GPU is not stressing that much still. Only running at 30% activity???

Premiere CC 2014: Message on loading project from older version: This project was last used with Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration (CUDA)...

After installing Adobe CC 2014 I have each time a message when loading an old Adobe pro project. Message:This project was last used with Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration (CUDA), which is either not available or not certified on this system. Mercury Playback software will be used. I have very recent HP Zbook 15 with a NVIDIA Quadro K2100M. At webinar today it was explained how to solve this, but sound was not understandable at my machine at that moment. Help? What need I to do.

Problem is solved since yesterday via Adobe helpdesk. It appeared that the newest driver for the NVIDIA were note present. So after downloading the new drivers it work. But I think Adobe should mention those issues when they launch new versions of Adobe CC like in June.

AMD Radeon HD 6990 vs Mercury Playback Engine

I just installed an AMD Radeon HD 6990.
I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5
My Mercury Playback Engine "GPU" choice does not show up in Premiere.
I tried the hack.
Nothing.
I see my card is not listed in the http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html list, however older and less powerful models from within its same family are.
First of all, do I need to upgrade to CS6 to even enable Open CL type cards? And if so is there a chance the hack will then work?
And if upgrading is the only Open CL answer - is there a way to upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 without getting involved in the creative cloud kookiness?
Thanks for any and all insight - I simply want to edit footage within Premiere while utilizing my more than adequate GPU.

To be clear...
Using the Premiere CC trial -- with MPE GPU enabled I am fine within the software editing. I do see advantages on performance depending on the effects - but definitley more yellow lines than with GPU off and Software Only on. All good there.
What I am saying is when I am finished editing and go to export a file out - it crashes unless I switch MPE to Software Only, then it exports fine.
Beyond the bug itself, I am also asking if I really care. In other words does MPE with GPU enabled affect anything speed related when I am out of the editor and on to "exporting media". Because it was my understanding MPE has everything to do with editing within Premiere and nothing to do with once you hit "export" which then relies solely on your CPU since you are no longer "playing back" at that point.
Any clarification/conifrmation on this specifically?
Exporting MPEG raw to mp4's which I do all day long for several years now from my current version of CS5.5 with no issue. But remember CS5.5 doesnt recognize my card as Open CL compatible, thats why we're giving CC a go.
As mentioned up front this is a brand new video card for me so I immediately grabbed the latest drivers. Asking for the specifics is a loaded question since AMD breaks down their driver versions into indivdual categories - so beyond saying its indeed the latest version according to amd site and autodetect I can say its Driver Package 12.104, Catalyts Version 13.4. etc. etc
Thanks for engaging me on this.

When will newer EVGA video cards be approved for Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?

I built my system for video editing, Windows 7 Ultimate, i7 920Mhz, 24Gb RAM, ASUS Rampage III Extreme motherboard and EVGA GeForce GTX 570 video card. I decided to upgrade my video card to EVGA 660Ti with many more CUDA processors and 3GB memory, but when I rendered some video I got this message "The project was last used with Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration, which is not available on this system. Mercury Playback Engine Software only will be used." and it seemed the rendering was slower. Even though the EVGA newer Video cards have more memory and processor power and more CUDA cores and score better on Windows Experience Intex, Adobe does not approve them and say they use Merecury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration. Why? The Quadro cards are much more expensive have less memory, fewer CUDA cores but are rated higher by Adobe for Premiere and rendering, why is that? What gives? Why are the EVGA cards that seem more powerful and less expensive rated lower than the Quadro cards? Will this ever change?

LOL!

Mercury Playback Engine does not work in new PP 2014 release?

Hi everyone, I've just downloaded the new 2014 version of PP to get the following message whilst uploading a project I've been working on:
'This project was last used with mercury playback engine GPU acceleration (cuda), which is either not available or not certified on this system. Mercury playback engine software only will be used'.
So, I make a trip to the playback settings in the preferences and there is just no option to switch on mercury playback. I have an Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 and up until now I've never had to render a single thing on my system no matter how many effects I've had to apply (working with raw DSLR footage). Now I'm getting dropped frames and red lines all over my sequence? Is there a way to remedy this in the new version of PP? If not I'll be uninstalling it and sticking to the older release.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Kevin

My bad, I was looking in the wrong place. I've now changed it to GPU acceleration and it's working fine!

Mercury playback engine makes Premiere crash after cs6 update

Hi there everyone,
I have been working with Premiere cs5 for over a year without any serious errors. Since I upgraded the entire Creative Suite to cs6 however, I am forced to use the software playback method instead of the GPU accelerated one. Using the last mentioned causes Premiere to crash immediately when trying to drag any sort of video on the timeline. This happens in new projects as well as in cs5 ones; and all of the footage involved in both cases was ingested in the wellknown Matrox i-frame codec that always worked fine before. Specs:
Windows 7, 24 gB RAM (not sure whether DDR3 or 5), NVidia Quadro 4000, dual six-core CPU, several terras of HD @ 7200 rpm, Matrox MX02 LE, CS6.
I tried every possible combination and order of uninstalling an reinstalling Premiere, the Matrox drivers and the nVidia drivers, including older versions of the last two mentioned, but to no avail. Though it looks like an NVidia issue (I read somewhere about CS5 and 5.5 certified NVidia drivers but not CS6 yet) this problem manifested right after the upgrade to CS6.
The error reported is about the graphics card being reset, it stops and then recovers, leaving Premiere to hang. The card's hardware reacts with a noisy cooling fan acceleration sound that slowly falls back to its normal rpm.
-Sigh- I am sorry to bother you with this, but does anyone have any idea or experienced something similar? Does the combination of the mentioned elements ring a bell...?
Any help is utterly appreciated !

Hi Harm,
I couldn't find anything in the logs about temperature, but I did find some other logs. However: when I re-install a newer NVidia driver version, the PC will not crash, only Premiere crashes in that case, which lets me believe this is not just a hardware defect. The hardware however does play a role.
What I found in the event viewer are messages like:
A request to disable the Desktop Window Manager was made by process (4)
The Desktop Window Manager was unable to start because composition was disabled by a running application
Fault bucket , type 0
Event Name: LiveKernelEvent

The application must close. Error code: 7
Visit http://nvidia.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/nvidia.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=3007 for more information.
Most of all I saw this:
Activation context generation failed for "C:\Windows\system32\vsnpstd3.dll".Error in manifest or policy file "C:\Windows\system32\vsnpstd3.dll" on line 2. The value "X64" of attribute "processorArchitecture" in element "assemblyIdentity" is invalid.
This report pops up hundreds of times... but I don't think the vsnpstd3.dll file, dating back to 2009, could be a problem all of a sudden.
It looks more like a Windows Time-out thing causing to reset the graphics card because the load of graphic data is too big to handle. The only strange thing is that the time-out action is taken by Windows before the usual two seconds have passed, it takes just a fraction of second. This leads me to believe that, during the demand from the Mercury Playback Engine to the NVidia card, "false information" is passed to Windows... i.e. a software problem.
I am thinking about rolling back to Premiere CS5 to see what happens... if this version would be working flawless again, that would be pretty steady proof for doubting the MPE of CS6.
To be continued...
