Missing GPU Acceleration

Hey guys,
I can't get PremPro CS6 to see my AMD FirePro D300 2048 MB card. I have a new Mac pro running Nvidia CUDA Driver Version: 6.0.46 I've installed CS6 and its all working great apart from the fact it won't recognise my graphics card. Its running the latest Nvidia cuda and its the latest top end mac pro so I can't understand why it won't see it for me.
Such a waste of a powerful graphics card. Hope you guys can help me out

Some things you'll need to keep in mind with your new Mac Pro:
1. You don't need (nor want, really) the nVidia CUDA panel installed. Your AMD GPUs aren't CUDA capable and never will be. So it's best if you go through the uninstall process for CUDA. AMD GPUs use OpenCL for GPGPU processing, not CUDA.
2. Pr CS6 was never tested with the AMD Dxxxx series of GPUs, and given that CS6 is no longer being developed: it won't be. However, you can still use one of your GPUs with CS6 by deleting the opencl_supported_cards.txt file from the Pr install directory. You won't be able to use both GPUs because CS6 isn't dual-GPU capable.
3. Upgrade to the CC version of Pr. It'll better support both GPUs in your new machine.

Missing GPU Acceleration With NVIDIA Quadro 4000

Hi -
I have a PC running Windows 7 with an NVIDIA Quadro 4000 card and 16GB of RAM. I have both Premiere Pro CS6 v6.0.5 and Premiere Pro CC v7.2.2 (just installed).
When I create a new project in CC, my only option under Video Rendering and Playback is Mercury Playback Engine Software Only. However, when I open a project in CS6, I get that option and also Mercury Playback Engine GPU Accelerated (CUDA).
Any thoughts on why the GPU option would not be available to me in CC?

Hi Mesmer3001,
I will suggest you to do a clean uninstall of all NVidia drivers and then re-install the latest one from the NVidia website. So, please follow the steps mentioned below.
Go to Device manager, right click on the graphivs card and select update driver software.
Select Browse my computer for driver software option.
Then on next screen choose Let me pick from a list option
Choose standard VGA graphics adapter which will choose VGA mode for your machine.
Then go to Control Panel and uninstall all the NVidia drivers. Restart the machine once it is done. Then go to the below link and re-install the Drivers again.
Hope it helps and please update if you need further assistance.

PPRO 7.2.2 UPDATE: Missing GPU acceleration and project must be converted?

I just installed PPRO 7.2.2, and getting two errors when opening my project to continue to work on it:
The graphics card is a NVIDIA GTX660, which worked fine until the update of 7.2.2.
The second error I get is:
I was working in this project, and in between installed the last CC update, which I do about every 3 months. I especially do not update more often, because many times after major updates I get unpleasant surprises with malfunctioning programs, drivers, wacom tablets, operating systems etcetera. So now this came up. And I think I will even go back to updating only once every 6 months or maybe even once a year, because there always seems to be some issue after a major upgrade of the CC apps. By the way I love the Adobe CC apps, just not want to loose time after each update repairing my computers!
So anyone has some advice what to do here, or maybe I will just roll back to my previous windows backup and uninstall this latest CC upgrade I think?
Thank you, Sebastiaan FP

Ann,
Yes I read and thank you for responding again. Sorry for my strong words. I really love Adobe CC, its beautiful and great, but since I am new in this field there is an ocean of things to learn, and sometimes get carried away in my emotional reactions with hardware errors like these. So I just rolled back in windows to the previous backup before the upgrade to 8.0.0 and everything is rolling again. After half a year or so I will try to upgrade again. The 7.2.2 CC version is already magic enough for me now and more than I can swallow!

Missing Renderer - GPU Acceleration Disabled

Hi.
I've been having a problem with premiere lately. When I create new project, the render settings are set for CUDA GPU acceleration. I have no issues while editing the project or when rendering preview files. However, once I save the project, quit premiere, and then later re-open the project, I am presented with the dialog "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."
After this message, my timeline opens completely unrendered. I've attempted to change the project setting and reselect GPU Acceleration as the renderer, but the dropdown box is disabled in the project settings menu.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Computer Specs:
Intel Core i7-3537U
8GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 710M with 1GB Dedicated RAM
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Do you have dual graphics adapters?
Go to the Windows Control Panel and select Hardware and Sound and then select Device Manager... In Device manager you click the + sign to the left of Display Adapters... and see if 2 are listed
IF YES, read below

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.

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?

Playback and Rendering issues when GPU acceleration is enabled

I'm using the new MacPro with dual AMD FirePro D300. When I enable GPU Acceleration (Open CL) I can no longer play through an entire sequence. It specifically has issues playing through any layered graphics or titles, but seems to play with those disabled. I have tried having "Composite In Linear Color" enabled and disabled, and neither seemed to make a difference. It's the same deal when rendering. If I have titles, and use GPU Acceleration it jumbles clips, cuts to black or static, all manner of weirdness. Is there something I'm missing?
An example of what playback looks like if I have titles and GPU Acceleration enabled.

This computer thing seems complicated enough that if your system works better with GPU accel off, that's you best performance. I understand they've been trying to sort out these sorts of issues but there's so many dang variables, and trying to build software that interlinks with other complicated software is something no other NLE or Grading program does. That throws even more kinks into the list.

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

Loss of GPU acceleration after lastest CC update.

I recently upgraded to the CC programs. I still have a project to complete with my previous version of Premiere Pro CS6. After the latest CC update I lost my GPU acceleration and get the following error message.
"Missing Renderer
This project was last used with a Mercury Playback engine GPU acceleration(GPU), which is not available on this system. Mercury playback engine software only will be used"
I'm running two NVIDIA Quadro K5000 video cards and running Windows 7 operating system. Before the upgrade everything was working great. My lastest update is Premiere Pro CS6 6.0.4

Hi Pete,
Thanks for contacting adobe forums,
Here is little confusion, are you getting this error on Premiere Pro CC or Premiere Pro CS6 ?
because the NVIDIA Quadro K5000 is supported on Premiere Pro CC onwards.

Adobe Premier Pro GPU Acceleration Not working

Hello, I've been noticing that the gpu assisted rendering process in premier does not speed up even with the mercury playback engine GPU acceleration (CUDA).
I used as a benchmark a 1 minute clip of 30 fps avi gaming footage and rendered in H.264 at 10693 Kbps and i got these results:
CPU Only: 1 Minute And 43 Seconds
GPU Assisted: 1 Minute and 41 Seconds
not much difference with a gtx 970 and 4790k is it, what is the problem?

Good morning'
I downloaded and installed Production premiere CS5 and installed on Surface pro 3 since i missed placed my cd's.
It's works,but when i try to go to help and update for 5.0.3 its fail to update. I got email from adobe to help and i poosted my cell No.
so far nobody called me. Thats kind service you geting from ADOBE.

CUDA GPU Acceleration not working on Dell 4700 K2000M

Hello,
I have a new Dell 4700 laptop that was outfitted with the NVIDIA Quadro K2000M and my CS6 Premiere Pro does not allow me to choose GPU Acceleration as the option is grayed out for new files. I searched the web and tried several things suggested such as turning OPTIMUS off in the laptop BIOS, uploading the latest drivers for the NVIDIA card and still the Premeire Pro refuses to allow hardware acceleration.
Am I missing something? I really want this to work. Please help!!
Thanks,
Charles

Why can't turn on GPU acceleration

Just got my new computer built for CS5 with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 card.
I set up a test project and checked in the project settings to see if GPU is turned on but the drop down menu "Video Rendering and Playback Renderer: " is greyed out and won't let me change the setting.
Am I missing something simple??
Please help
Thanks
Ted

I finally found the solution. Here is the path to solve this issue :
The Renderer String Name listed in the GPUSneffer.exe is Quadro FX 3800M.
By default the card names listed in the cuda_supported_card.txt is Quadro FX 3800.
Both card names must be listed in the cuda_supported_card.txt. So I added the
Quadro FX 3800M (dont forget the M) in the list and it fix everything! Now I can select
the Mercury GPU acceleration and the render line is yellow.
Recommendation to Adobe:
Adobe should list by default both card names in the cuda_supported_card.txt. Because
the mobile version of the quadro FX 3000 is Quadro FX 3800M.
This may help other users.

Have functional difference with GPU acceleration and software processing of Mercury Playback Engine?

Used Decklink SDI and Premiere CS6 to testing.
I have a question~Have functional difference with GPU acceleration and software processing of Mercury Playback Engine?
(Can GPU acceleration export same used 59.94i external monitor export?).
IN specification，Is it need“software processing”？ whether other restrictions?
If Anyone know please tell me.
thank you.

Thank you for your help, and sorry about didn't make it clear.
Use Decklink SDI and Premiere CS6 to test.
In GPU mode of Mercury Engine, the signal form SDI is 1080i, but even fields will be missing.
Take a simple test:
Make quick slide for reproduce animationin in quadrangle(1080i 29.97), but it can't paly smooth and same gone to 30P.
If in Software mode, the action can be smooth.
Although use Software mode can be ok,but if GPU does not realize,it will take long time to render.
system info:
macpro 10.8.1
premiere cs6.0.2
blackmagic driver 9.6.4
GTX285
sequence of premiere
Presets/blackmagic/8bit YUV/interlace/59.94i
Have any problems with my System or the GPU mode can no external monitor output in 59.94?
IN specification，Is it need“software processing”？ whether other restrictions?
thank you!

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.
