Premiere Pro CC 7.1, rMBP, no CUDA

NVIDIA GeForce GT650M 1024mb
CUDA Driver 5.5.28

Premiere Pro CC 7.1
I've already consulted this blog on the matter: http://blogs.adobe.com/kevinmonahan/2013/09/13/enabling-cuda-for-the-mercury-playback-engi ne-in-the-macbook-pro-retina/
CUDA is not showing up as an option for me. I have the latest CUDA drivers installed, and automatic graphic switching is disabled. All Adobe software is up-to-date, as is my OS. Even had the laptop in the shop recently to replace the screen, and they tested all the other hardware as functioning properly.
Why would CUDA not be available?

Hi tylerscott899,
I've got driver 5.5.25 in the same machine and OS as you do, and it's working fine.
Others things to try:
Reboot the computer
Detach any other hardware, like a 2nd monitor
Quit all applications, including browsers.
See if any of these things work for you.
Thanks,
Kevin

  • Is Premiere Pro CS5.5 really using my CUDA Card?

    My setup is a dual Xeon E5420, 32GB RAM and multiple RAID 0 Volumes (1 fo OS, SSD Based,, 1 for Media files and another for Scratch ).
    I have two GPUs, one old Quadro FX1700 and one brand new GeForce GTX 580.
    I see the option for Mercury Playback enable on Premiere, and I see that the Red Line on the timeline turns Yellow, enabling me for realtime playback,, but when I playback my video (from Canono EOS 7D), the GPU CPU gets hit only about 5%,,
    I wouldnt mind, only for the fact that I put three layers of video  on my timeline, do the same expirement and the playback is super chunky at 2x 4x etc,, and my GPU CPU (the GTX 580) is only at 10% max.
    I see my XEON are at almost 100% in both cases (Mercury and No Mercury).
    I been banging my head for days to see what the problem is,, I have a three monitor set up and I event try only one monitor, disconecting the Old Quadro FX1700 and elaving only the GTX 580,, with one monitor,, same thing.
    I played with settings on the NVIDIA Driver,(I have the latest one),, nothing.
    The playback works,, but is not near the "advertised magic bullet" on the Adobe Videos,, I see my XEONs getting hit a lot and my playback at 2x and above is horrible.
    Did I meantion that I dont have any effect on the timeline,, just my three layers on MOV videos from my ESO 7D?
    I have fast HDs and Raid 0,, the only think I could think of is that the XEON E5420 are a little old,, but come on,, it is just 3 years old, and they are dual XEON,, it should be ok for this,, it is only three layers of 24fps HD 1080 ,, about 1 minute each.
    I dont want to go an upgrade the whole system to find out that I missed something on the config.
    If anybody can advise me, I will really apreciate it.
    Thanks!
    manny.

    I recently installed a GTX 580 from EVGA (3 GB Ram), costed my $ 500,, and I wanted to see how much performance gain I got.
    For now I was just testing playback with mutliple layers,, I know some effects are not CUDA-enable, thats why I did the test withouth any effect at all,, like I say,, just three layers (the top two scaled down on top of the main one in the background).
    When I have only one layer the playback is great, fast,, but when I put three layers of video the playback becomes chunky after forward 2x of more,, and backwards is more noticeable.
    I know Im not using the correct terminology, Im not a profressional editor, this is just family stuff and I since I already had a workstation for other reasons I though I could use it for Premiere.
    It looks to me that I have a bottleneck somewhere on my system (Im concerned about my XEONs E5420) because they show a lot of utilization even when Mercury Playback is enabled.
    I have no reference so I dont know if my system should perform well or not.
    I did the PPBM5 test (little confusing to me because it seems to be configured for people that have media, projects and scratch disk all on the same HD and I have them in three RAIDs so I was running in circles making it work)
    I sent the results and my system scored 377.

  • [原因不明]ソースモニターでの再生のみ.確実にコマ落ちが発生します.(Premiere Pro CC 2014/8.2.0)

    Premiere Pro CC 2014(8.2.0)の環境において、
    ■ビデオ素材のソースモニターでの再生
    ■タイムラインからクリックした素材の、ソースモニターでの再生
    上記2点におきまして、必ずコマ落ち現象が起こります。
    再生が止まるといったことはないのですが、
    単純にカクカクとした動きで再生されます。
    再生画質やフィールド順番の項目も関係ないようです。
    H.264のMOV、HDVのMPEG2、ProRes422(各種)のmov等、
    コーデックやビットレート、HD・SDに関係なく発症します。
    ■素材はUSB3.0のRAID 0(リードライト実測約220MB)
    ■メディアキャッシュはUSB3.0(UASP接続)のSSD(リードライト実測約440MB)
    の完全独立2分配で帯域を確保してあります。
    メディアキャッシュや素材の場所をローカルに入れ替える等の検証をしてみましたが、
    何も効果はありませんでした。
    プログラムモニターでのタイムライン再生は一切問題なく行えます(AEのダイナミックリンクを含む)。
    ただ単純に、ソースモニターでの再生時のみコマ落ちするという現象です。
    コマ落ちインジゲーターも、ソースモニターで常に黄色を示しています。
    ひとつ不可解なのは、GPU高速処理の設定でCUDAやOpenCLを使わず、
    「ソフトウェア処理」のみを選択すると再生が完全に回復するということです。
    Premiere Pro CC(7.2.2)、Premiere Pro CS6では上記の症状は全くありませんでした。
    OS自体の問題かと思い、クリーンインストールしたのち、
    OS X YosemiteとMavericksの両方で検証してみましたが、
    症状の改善は見られませんでした。
    現在は一番安定しているPremiere Pro CC(7.2.2)をMavericks環境で使用しております。
    もし何か解決策をご存知の方がおられましたら、ご教授頂けると幸いです。

    >「再生時の解像度」がソースモニターは「フル画質」、プログラムモニターは「1 / 2」…
    各種画質も試しましたがソースモニターでのみ症状が発生します。
    フィールドの奇数偶数の順番も関係ありません。
    備考ですが、QuickTime Player単体での再生も問題なく行えますし、
    Final Cut Pro 7/Final Cut Pro X環境においても問題なく動作します。
    >上記バージョンでは、GT650Mは「高速処理」サポート対象外ですから、「ソフトウェア処理」で問題なかったということですよね。
    カラー補正や単純なフィルター類を適用したタイムラインにおいて、
    CC 2014/CC 7.2.2と共に「CUDA(高速処理)」「OpenCL(高速処理)」選択時は、黄色のインジゲーターバーが表示され、
    「ソフトウェア処理」に切り替えると赤色のインジゲーターバーが表示されます。
    「ソフトウェア処理」でレンダリング(プレビュー生成/書き出し)すると、GPU高速処理に比べもちろんスピードも落ちます。
    【Premiere Pro CC 2014(8.2.0)】

    私の認識不足でしたら申し訳ありませんが、
    “上記の反応がある(インジゲーターバーの色が変わる/レンダリングスピードが変わる)”ということは、
    CC 2014/CC 7.2.2と共にGT650Mをきちんと認識していると思うのですが、
    きちんと認識していると仮定して、CC2014でのみ「ソフトウェア処理」でスムーズに再生するのは、
    少々疑問に思われないでしょうか。しかもソースモニターのみです。
    >プログラムモニターの再生は問題なしで、書き出した作品もコマ落ちは発生していない
    繰り返しになりますが、純粋にソースモニターでの再生(CC 2014)のみ発症しており、
    書きだしたファイルについても異常は認められませんでした。

  • Premiere Pro CC CUDA rendering working with avi output only

    Hello All,
    on my system Premiere Pro CC is only using GPU rendering with AVI output formats.
    All other formats like MPEG2, Quicktime, H.264 are unfortunatly fully CPU rendered (=slow).
    I just upgraded from trial to payed mode and when Premiere started the CUDA was already enabled (might have activated it during trial already).
    But anyway I checked if my card was in the support txt file and also used the cuda.zip auto tool to make sure I had no typo.I did this for Premiere Pro CC and also copied the list into the Adobe Media Encoder directory.
    No matter what I did - no hardware rendering.
    So I started playing with input and output formats.
    It turned out that CUDA is currently only working with AVI output. I installed GPU-Z to check my GPU usage vs CPU usage in the task manager.
    As soon as I pick any other output format than AVI - CPU usage during rendering is up to 80-90 and GPU at 0%.
    With AVI output GPU ist around 30 and CPU in the 40ties or less as it should be.
    What is going wrong here?
    One of my old applications Cyberlink Power Produces 11 is doing the h264 rendering in half the time.
    Any suggestions?
    My System is running on:
    Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe with 16GB Ram
    Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti (with current Driver - 332.21 )
    Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit (with Media Center) and latest updates
    Current entry in CUDA*.txt file (as printed by Adobe GPUSniffer):
    GeForce GTX 660 Ti
    And already tried:
    GeForce GTX 660Ti
    GeForce GTX 660
    Best regards
    Moongate
    P.S. I already followed the instructions on this page http://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/PremiereCS5.htm

    I now understand that Premiere Pro CC is only using my GPU for accelerating complex effects during editing giving me the possibility of a live preview during editing?
    From the editing in other apps I know that the final rendering can also eat up much time which is why they try to accelerate it via GPU rendering. I see that Premiere is "outsourcing" this task to the Adobe Media Encoder (AME) so that you can continue working during rendering.
    But I believe what tricked me into asking this question is that in the AME there is also the option to choose between software and GPU assisted Mercury Engine. So there must be a purpose for it and it sounds resonable that it is for GPU assited rendering.
    So when the encoder is not using the GPU to speed up completion of rendering - what is he doing with that option?
    Would it not be clever to cut rendering drastically using the GPU - its hard to believe that Adobe is only using it for previews?

  • Can't get GeForce GTX 560 Ti card CUDA to work with new Premiere Pro CC 2014 version

    In the past I've been able to get CUDA on my GeForce GTX 560 Ti card to work with Mercury Playback engine by adding "GeForce GTX 560 Ti" to the cuda_supported_cards.txt file. But with the new CC 2014 version of Premiere, that file isn't in the Premiere Pro directory anymore. Is there a way to get my GTX 560 Ti to be listed as a CUDA-supported card with CC 2014?

    Okay, I figured it out.  I installed the latest graphics driver and then opened the NVIDIA control panel.  In there I selected "Manage 3D settings" and went to the "program settings" tab.  I selected Adobe Premiere (adobe premiere pro.exe) from the list and under the "CUDA - GPUs" feature, I changed it to "Use these GPUs" and selected my GTX 560 Ti (which was the only one listed).
    After doing that, I opened Premiere Pro CC 2014 and selected "Project Settings - General" and was then able to choose "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration" under Renderer (which had previously been unavailable).
    Hopefully this will help someone else if they encounter the same problem.

  • Exporting in Premiere Pro with a GTX 980 CUDA takes 4 hours

    Okay, this problem has been plaguing me ever since I upgraded to a new PC with some very high end hardware. I'm trying to export a 25 minute h.264 encoded mp4 file from an AVI video and PCM audio source, however, exporting it using YouTube 1080p preset takes over 4 hours. This used to never happen before, even on my old laptop which had a GTX 675M card and would take 1.5 hours at most.
    The source files I use through video capture is AVI with MPEG-1(VBR) 1920x1080 resolution with 29.97 frames/second. The audio source is PCM WAV 48.0KHz stereo.
    The preset I have for exporting in Premiere Pro/AME CC 2014 is:
    video: h.264 format, 1.0 square pixel, 29.97 frames/second, Progressive scan
    bitrate: VBR(1 pass), target/max: 8.0 Mbps
    audio: AAC 192kbps, 48kHz stereo
    The hardware I am using is a Gigabyte x99 ud-4 motherboard with G.Skill Ripjaws 16GB DDR4 2400Mhz RAM, i7-5820K CPU 3.30 GHz, Windows 7 64bit OS, with an Nvidia GTX 980 card with CUDA enabled in both Premiere and the Nvidia Control Panel. Yet, I am still getting over 4 hours rendering time during my exports for a 20-30min video source? I  am completely stumped on this and it's unbelievably frustrating to see my top of the line system take so long to render this file when my 2-3 year old laptop did the export in 1/3rd of that time? I do this as a hobbyist and any help on trying to get this fixed would be a major help to me. Thank you in advance!

    Hmmm...
    I did a quick test in your behalf with a test project with and without "alpha glow" applied to all of the media.
    The results were actually kind of strange:
    - export to .mp4 utilized all cores (6-core box w/ Hyperthreads) with a smooth 82% utilization for the whole export; memory usage (also from task manager) went up and once it hit a maximum, it stayed there
    - export to .mp4 with "alpha glow" applied -> CPU usage started out pretty good, then memory usage maxed out and then actually cam down; after a bit, the CPU usage stabilized at around 22%, or about 25% of what it had been at the start of the export
    Smells to me like an Adobe bug or design-flaw.
    Anyway, good luck with your testing.
    I totally agree with Bill's suggest to do a full PPBM7 test on your new rig and report the scores back here - and to the PPBM7 site of course. This will help you to have confidence in your new hardware and setup. Once your hardware and configuration (for Win7, drive caching, Premiere settings, etc.) are working fine, then your particular workflow, etc. can be a separate troubleshooting step.
    Good luck!
    Regards,
    Jim

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 (5.5.2) update adds CUDA processing with Maximus configurations

    Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 (5.5.2) adds the ability to take advantage of a Tesla C2075 card for CUDA processing when that card is installed along with a Quadro card, which handles OpenGL processing. This configuration—in which the Quadro card handles OpenGL processing while the Tesla card handles CUDA processing—is referred to as a Maximus configuration.
    See this page for details:
    http://adobe.ly/premiere_pro_552

    Here is what one of the Nvidia folks said when a similar question was asked elsewhere:
    "That’s right; a Quadro 6000 and Tesla C2075 are not identical but they are very similar and you can expect similar performance. There are a few reasons you might want to use a Maximus configuration for Premiere Pro rather than a single Quadro 6000:
    1.  Having both a Quadro and Tesla GPU in the system means when the Tesla is cranking full-out on Mercury Playback Engine the Quadro is unaffected, so you can, say, open After Effects or other application that may take advantage of the Quadro, and system performance on that app will be better than if it was competing for resources with MPE on a single GPU.
    2.  In the future, we expect many users will want to run an animation application (using the Quadro) and a simulation application (on the Tesla) at the same time to provide animators with a level of interactivity they don’t have without Maximus technology. Example video is here. (http://youtu.be/_LagqqsVO28)
    3.  It costs less. A typical Maximus configuration has a mid-range Quadro (e.g. a Quadro 2000) and a Tesla C2075, which in that instance costs hundreds of dollars less than a single Quadro 6000 and offers similar performance plus the workflow advantage listed above.Of course, some users may want to run a Quadro 6000 and a Tesla C2075 and get maximum performance, but others can actually get the best MPE acceleration for less money with Maximus technology."

  • Apple, Mac Pro, Amd vs Nvidia with cuda? Why, and what to buy for Premiere Pro?

    Mac Pro has dual Amd video cards installed, and does not offer Nvidia cards with Cuda in this line up, as far as I can tell. The iMacs offer nvidia cards which seem a better choice for Premiere Pro which uses the cuda rendering capabilities. Which would be best for Premiere Pro? The quad Mac Pro, or the top of the line iMac with double the ram, say 32gigs vs 16 in the Mac Pro?  Why did Apple put AMD cards in the Mac Pro line?

    jtopenshaw wrote:
    Why did Apple put AMD cards in the Mac Pro line?
    Apple believes that OpenCL, not CUDA, is the future of GPGPU computing.  CUDA is closed and proprietary to nVidia only.  OpenCL is, as the name says: open.
    As of the creation and planning of the Mac Pro, nVidia's GPUs were (and most of them still are) very poor performers when it comes to OpenCL.  I expect that, over time, nVidia will catch up to AMD regarding OpenCL.  But they're not quite there yet, across the board.
    Why are the GPUs in the iMac (and Macbook Pro) nVidia?  They make better and more efficient mobile GPUs at this point in time.  The GPU in the iMac is similar to the GPU in the Macbook Pro in that they're both mobile, not desktop GPUs.  AMD has a fairly poor representation in that market (so far), so Apple stuck with nVidia.
    It's likely that Apple doesn't see the iMac and Macbook Pro lineup as devices to be used for massive GPGPU processing.  The Mac Pro, on the other hand is where they see that being used heavily.  Perhaps when and if AMD decides to produce an efficient and powerful mobile GPU, Apple will cut (back) over to them.  But one can only guess, there.

    That's fair and is your opinion.  I don't agree. :-)
