How can I open a project that has been created with Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration software, on my trial version of Premier Pro CC?

Hi,
I'm working with a colleague who is using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration software on his PC version of Premier Pro CC. I am using a mac and have a trial version of Premier Pro CC. When I try to open a project file that he has sent me I get an error message-
"Missing renderer: 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."
When I click OK and locate the files I get a message saying "File format not supported".
Can anyone tell me what to do so that we can share project files?
Many thanks,
Jessie

Shouldn't really be the MPE at fault here ... what is the codec of the footage/sequence/project?
Second, can you create a new project in PrPro, then in the media browser, import that sequence from the other project?

Mercury Playback Engine Software Only in Premiere Pro CS6

The Mercury Playback Engine Software Only is greyed out. Does this mean it is working or not?

your question:
"The Mercury Playback Engine Software Only is greyed out. Does this mean it is working or not?"
yes... it is 'greyed out' because it is your only option,
and premiere is working in "software only" mode by default !!!
if you follow the suggestion made in this thread:
https://forums.adobe.com/message/7321155#7321155
...you might be able to select MPE, and as a result the menu will NOT
be 'greyed out', indicating that you can choose between the default of
'software only' or the alternate 'mercury playback engine'
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

How do I know if I have Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (OpenCL)?

To anyone who can help,
BACKGROUND
I am new to Premiere Pro and just started my first project on CC 2014. A tutorial recommended I select 'Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (OpenCL)' over 'Mercury Playback Engine Software Only' in the VIDEO AND RENDERING section of the PROJECT SETTINGS window. Since the former option isn't grayed out, I'm assuming I have both to choose from, however, when I select 'Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (OpenCL), only the audio will play back in my source window; the video no longer plays back.
HARDWARE
I am on an (early 2008) Mac Pro desktop with two 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors, and two ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics cards.
I am running OS X 10.9.5.
QUESTIONS
1. Is there a way to figure out if I actually have this 'Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (OpenCL)' thing?
2. Is opting for 'Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (OpenCL)' over 'Mercury Playback Engine Software Only' (the default) really even going to make a noticeable difference in how my 1080p 24 fps movie is rendered?
Thanks in advance to any advice offered!
Shaun

I am not realy a mac person but Premiere can only use one graphics card. Can you disable one of the cards.

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?

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!

Missing Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration after computer crash. How can I get it back

Hi, I'm missing Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration after computer crash. How can I get it back? I had my husband update my graphic driver. How what do I do? When I check the project settings > general, it still has the field of Mercuy Playback software only grayed out.

restart your computer and retry.

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.

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/

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???

Why do I no longer have Open CL GPU Acceleration, and have Mercury Playback Engine Software Only greyed out instead?

It seems I've lost all gpu acceleration options, and i am unsure why. I am on a mac pro late 2013, AMD fire pro d700 cards. The system was working fine for many months, then last week for the first time, i got the message that says the project was last used with gpu acceleration, but the present system will support MPE Software only because open cl is not available on this system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mercury Playback Engine: software accel only for 5K Retina iMac, when would Adobe enable hardware acceleration???

Just curious when Adobe might be updating Premiere Pro CC list of support graphics cards for hardware accelaration.
The iMac 5K Retina has an optional upgraded AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4GB GDDR5 graphics card.
But this is apparently what happens in Premiere Pro CC when you start the program on an iMac Retina 5K with that graphics card: the hardware acceleration option is greyed out.

Looking at this, it doesn't seem that the Retina MacBook Pro's NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M is on the list. And the NVIDIA CUDA driver will give you nothing but heartache (a frequent source of kernel panics).

Any recommendations for a new Graphics card for Prem Pro 2014 (Windows) that offers Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration?

Hi.
I am led to believe I could benefit from GPU acceleration when editing as my PC is a little under spec. I do have a card but when I switch to GPU acceleration it does work but every time I stop moving / playing / scrubbing on the timeline the preview screen goes black.
I am not sure which might be the best card to obtain for my reqs. I dont think I put the biggest of demands on the software but it does still struggle. Most of my editing is 3 - 10 min long interviews. 2 camera multi-cam editing. I invariably have need to edit RGB curves, three way colour corrector, transitions and sometimes Neat noise reduction. Any of those leaves my PC struggling. All the usual titles, music & voice-overs etc but nothing too heavy going like making films or inserting lots of video lines.
I also do an occasional bit of work in After effects too.
PC spec is:
Intel Xeon CPU 1.86GHz (2 processors)
12GB RAM which I am going to upgrade to 16GB
64 bit op system
Windows 7
Radeon HD 5450 graphics card.
Any guidance would be much appreciated

Thanks for insight. I am not technical but I suspect your right about the base technology of my PC. The processors and RAM (even if I upgrade) are probably too limited. I was not so sure about the relationship between the main processor and the graphic card. I rather hoped that the card would get round the limitations of the CPU's.
I maybe need to invest some time looking in to improving the spec of my PC. Any thoughts on a suitable spec from anyone would be helpful bearing in mind my relatively narrow editing needs.
Even so I will look at the GTX 660 and see what it might offer. The only reason I thought the 5450 might offer GPU acceleration was because the option was available to select in the preferences in PremPro. Figured it wouldn't be an option otherwise. Certainly doesnt seem to work correctly or offer any advantage so gone back to software only.
This is not going to be a quick or inexpensive resolution by the looks of it :-)
Thanks again for input.
