Trouble with GPU Acceleration in Premiere Pro CS6 (GTX 670)

I recently bought a new GTX 670 with the hopes that it would accelerate my video editing in Premiere. After using the "nVidia hack" to add it to the list of CUDA supported cards, I started up Premiere, enabled GPU acceleration in the general project preferences window, and was disappointed to find that my performance appeared to be identical to what I had experienced with my non compatible HD 6870s.
When I checked with MSI Afterburner, my GPU usage remained around 0%, even when playing through videos. I'm quite certain that my card was successfully added to the list, so I have no idea what's going on.
Is there any chance that I am misunderstanding what GPU acceleration is supposed to do? I'm very new to Premiere, so I don't know too much about it yet. The reason I bought my new card, aside from improved performance in 3D games, was to allow me to scrub through my project (comprised of 1080p AVI videos captured with FRAPS) without hiccups and poor FPS. Was this not a reasonable expectation for GPU rendering?
Here's a short list of my PC's specs if it's any help:
-Intel i5 2500k (currently not overclocked)
-8GB DDR3 Dual Channel RAM (at 1600MHz)
-1TB 7200RPM HDD
-nVidia GTX 670 OC 2GB VRAM
-Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 Motherboard
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Did you go to project>project settings>general and verify that GPU (cuda) accleration is enabled? If it's set to software only then change it and see if that helps. If it's enabled my next question is what is the bitrate of your FRAPS videos? Because I have seen some fraps video's with bit-rates that are really high which would require a RAID array that is only holding video clips to playback smoothly. In your case it appears you have your OS and your apps and your footage all playing from the same 7200rpm drive. Which isn't really sufficent for 1080p editing. However it might be as simple as enabling it from within premiere pro like I mention earlier. If it's enabled though please check the bit-rate of your video you're attempting to edit with because I'm assuming that might be the issue.

Importing WAV file with Flash Cue Points Premiere Pro CS6

I want to import a Japanese voice-over . WAV file which has Flash cue points marked in it so that I can clearly identify edit points on the video timeline when I import it into Premiere pro CS6.
Or is there another way of getting a voice-over artist to mark up audio so that I can clearly identify when certain words or phrases have been spoken? Trouble is, Japanese characters mean nothing to me! Usually this is not a problem with European languages like French and German, as I can easily mark up the script with a highlighter as I can follow the voice over on the supplied script, but Japanese characters mean nothing to me.
Please help.
Many thanks.

Premiere has a function now where you can import a clip and drag onto a timeline and it will prompt you with a message about changing the timeline settings to match your clip, (or if there is no timeline it will automatically create one that matches your clip.) This is in CC of course so you might consider upgrading. They have fixed a lot of compatibility issues from CS6 to now. If you don't want to get all of CC for 60/month then you can at least shell out 20/month on premiere. It's worth it. They've made it where you don't have to worry about 99% of all video formats. They just work.

GPU Acceleration In Premiere Pro CC

Do you have it when exporting via Adobe Media Encoder?
I don't seem to. I ran some tests several weeks back which clearly showed that GPU acceleration was not working when exporting through AME, but worked fine when doing a direct Export. I ran the following test again today.
10 minutes of 1080p/24 AVCHD
ProcAmp, Gaussian Blur, Three-way Color Corrector (All accelerated, 32 bit, YUV effects.)
Export to H.264 Blu-ray, default settings. (No MRQ, no previews.)
Here's what I got.
AME GPU Off - 14:03
AME GPU On - 14:10
Direct - 6:12
As before, it's pretty clear that hardware acceleration is not working through AME. In fact, it routinely takes just a tiny bit longer with GPU acceleration on.
The first time around I ran a duplicate test with CS6, and it very clearly showed that GPU acceleration was working via AME.
So...what are your results?

Uh, I can, but I'm not sure what you're hoping for. The times I reported were right from the text file log that AME keeps, and they were all done last night, just at different times.

Trouble importing .mxf files into Premiere Pro CS6

Having problems importing MXF. file types into my Premiere CS6 project. I will go to import the folder and the yellow loading bar will come up to say that it's importing. Then it will freeze and the color wheeled loading symbol will come up (I'm using a Mac) and will just sit there. From there I'm forced to do a force quit on my project and re-open it again. Is there any way to fix this issue and if so what is the problem causing this issue?
Also my mac is running on OSX v10.7.5 and Premiere is running on cs6 v6.0.2

Yes, MXF should play perfectly in PP CS6, but if you can't work this out at this point, you may wrap your MXF video to something intermediate. as a matter of face, Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 seems to work fine if you import your MXF clips directly from a camera or camcorder, but if have already copied MXF recordings your HDD or you downloaded them from somewhere else, the import error may occur.
So i suggest you convert the MXF footage to something mezzanine we would recommend DNxHD.mov (if you are on a PC) or Apple ProRes .mov (if on a mac). those two intermediate codecs are good mezzanine codecs that handle recompression well and standup well in other areas of post-production (color grading, graphics, compositing, etc,). You can see what I wrote about the solution. "Why Premiere Pro CS6 can't import MXF files?" i hope that it is helpful to you.

Trouble in video playback Adobe premiere pro cs6

My video playback is not stuttering, I don't even lag, but my problem is, when i play the video at playback, at some point my footage rewinds a frame, but the sound is still the same, even if I export my video, the final output rewinds and replays at certain point, i'm at 60fps 1080/720p, I tried to render (pressing enter) previewing, changing fps, changing resolution, but i got the same issue. Thanks for the answer please help.

Trouble with Warp Stabilizer in Premiere Pro

I have one simiple clip that I keep trying to stabilize and I can't see the effect. I've had this problem for months with several different projects with no luck. It goes through the motions of analyzing and stabilizing but won't show the resulting effect. It just freezes on various last graphics seen.
I've tried matching sequence settings, tried nesting the sequence into a separate sequence and can't seem to see the stabilized video. It just freezes on one frame, or a gray screen or holds whatever was the last video in the program frame. It even shows the desktop sometimes. When I turn off the effect the clip plays fine (unstabilized). I'm trying to stabilize a time lapse I shot on a windy day... so it was bouncing around a little. I've tried moving all of the scratch disks to another drive that was clear and free of space. I'm still getting nothing in playback.
Any help is appreciated.

That worked! You rock Bob Peru! Thanks so much for the reply!

Premiere Pro CS6: GTX 660 ti ($300) vs. GTS 450 ($100) and other thoughts on upgrading HW

I've been wanting to make some major upgrades to my hardware, but it just doesn't seem worth it yet...even after almost 4 years. I ultimately decided to "rent" a new video card and run some tests. Here is some background info on my upgrade though process and some results comparing the video card performance.
Disclaimer: I'm not a hardware expert, but I'm not completely clueless (I think). Your input/insight is welcome.
My system (purchasd 2/2009)
i7 920
GTS 450 (1GB RAM)
12 GB 1333 RAM
Samsung SATA II 128 GB SSD (OS/apps)
5x 1TB 7200 RPM drives in RAID 0 (with accompany slow/cheaper 2TB backup drives)
Some upgrade options I am considering
Sandy Bridge 3930 - but it's $560 w/o cooling and would require a new, more expensive motherboard, new ram, cooling, etc.
Ivy Bridge 3770, but I keep reading that that an overclocked 920 isn't that much different in perf (in fairness mine isn't oc'd). I did find a MB that would work for only $90. So I could make this upgrade for just under $400 (RAM would stay the same).
Wait for Haswell, but i could be another 9 months and it's supposed to only give maybe a 10% perf gain over IB. It's more focused on mobile - less power, integrated graphics, etc.
High-end Xeons are totally off the table. $/buck is waaaay too low.
Video card and benchmark reviews/problems
So I thought I'd first try getting a new video card. I see conflicting benchmarks. This site (the one that provides the CUDA.exe hack) notices very little difference between most GTX cards in perf for their benchmarks. The PPMB5 site shows significant differences between say the GTX 680 and lower end cards. But are these really accurate?
The GTX 680 is almost $500, so I opted for the 660 ti at $300 to see if I could get a noticable perf gain. It seemed like the best $/buck card and wouldn't require me to get a new power supply.
Another reason I wanted to do my own tests: None of the benchmarks I've seen actually mention the type of footage used. I care about footage from the Canon MKII-III, or similar footage. I definitely do not care about things like exporting to MPEG 2.
I did some very unscientific benchmarks, but they were real world for me. First my "problem" areas.
Performance problem areas
#1 - Time-lapses consisting of 1080 (height) JPEGs and 2160 (height) JPEGs don't always play smoothly (larger 2160s almost never do). I read adding more VRAM might help. The 660ti has 2x the RAM as my current video card.
#2 - Split screen sequences (up to 9 clips simultaneously) don't play smoothly.
#3 - Scenes where I speed up a clip to 1000x don't always play smoothly. (Although upgrading from CS5 to 6 actually seems to have solved this issue, I couldn't get it to repro any longer).
#4 - Export to h.264 could be faster. I do this a lot, but mostly because it's how I sometimes make proxies because of problems around #1-2 (works fine - used to use CineForm but it always crashed Premiere and these work for my needs). This is typically my final export as well for posting on sites like Vimeo.
#5 - Timeline rendering could be faster, although I don't do this a lot and if I do it's simple, not a bunch of crazy effects. E.g. use unsharp mask. This is pretty low pri for me though because I think timeline rendering is a bad idea. Once you do it, if you even move the clip you have to render again.
Some simple bottleneck analysis first:
Disk queue length sometimes is just over 1 on 1 disk in my RAID array during TL playback. Might slow things down slightly. Not an issue during export.
Processor never seems to get pegged in any case.
RAM is never maxed out, but it starts to go to Premiere limits (10 GB that I've set) after playing through several time-lapses (I'm just now noticing this). Choppiness starts well before RAM is even near that on some clips.
Tests/results:
NOTE: I do run the 660ti in a PCIe 2 x16 slot. Let me know if you think it would even matter to run in a PCIe 3.0 slot. My MB doesn't have one.
#1 Time-lapse smoothness - didn't improve with the 660. Moving the 1080 size JPEG TLs to my SSD did help some problem TLs play smoothly however.
#2 Split screen. Did a test with a 9-clip-at-the-same-time sequence. No improvement with the 660ti.
#3 Clips speed up 1000x - could not repro the problem now that I run CS 6 vs. 5 on either card.
#4 - Export to H.264 1080p @23.9x fps.
Export 5:30 clip of 5D MKIII footage + H.264 proxies:
GTS 450 - 9:14
660 Ti - 8:30
Export 1.5 minute clip of large time-lapses (JPEGs that are 2160 high):
GTS 450 - 9:35
660 Ti - 7:00
Export a 2 minute clip of just MKIII footage
GTS 450 - 2:45
660 Ti - 2:45
#5 Timeline render with simple image correction effect
Timeline render short 5D MKIII clip with unsharp mask applied:
GTS 450 - 1:10
660 Ti - 1:19
Conclusion:
The 660ti ($300) showed marginal improvements in exporting h.264 against my GTS 450 ($100) and did not address my other issues. Definitely not worth it for the type of work I do.
Moving my time-lapse JPEGs to an SSD helps play the 1080p versions back smoothly. The 2160p larger versions still lag. Maybe more RAM would help? They still start off choppy and then acquire more and more RAM, so not sure here. Maybe faster 1600 RAM? I don't know, I doubt it. I may have to just use 1080 versions or make proxies.
I don't see a pegged CPU much if at all, so upgrading to an Ivy Bridge 3770 doesn't seem like it'll help much if at all.
I did end up buying 2x256 GB SATA III SSDs (only $169 each) that I'll run current projects off of, or at least time-lapse sequences (RAID 0). My motherboard doesn't have an SATA III slots, however, so I won't see the full power of these, but not sure I'll need it. Again I'm not seeing a clear disk issue either from the perf monitoring.
I suspect many of these problems are still with the software and how it takes advantage of my hardware, but I'd love more insight.
Generally I make things work and I don't have any really painful bottlenecks, but I'm always up for perf improvements/doing things faster. It does look like I won't see any major breakthroughs, however by spending $400-$1000 bucks on HW upgrades.
Thoughts?

Thanks for the resonpose Harm. Inline.
Harm Millaard wrote: SYSTEM: It is an older system, about the same I had in the form of 'Harm's Beast', although I have a much beefier disk setup, more memory and OC'ed to 3.7 GHz, in combination with a GTX 480. Not much you can do about this system, apart from upgrading memory to 24 GB but the major drawback is that those investments will not carry over to a new system, at least not easily. [Luke] From your description of your system it sounds like 4 things could indeed be upgraded and carried over to a new system. 1) OC the processor (e.g. purchase a generic water cooler for ~$100), 2) Improve the Disk setup, 3) Upgrade the video card, 4) Add more/faster RAM.
I've seen in some benchmarks that an OC'd 920 is not so dissimilar to an OC'd 3770K. The latter is faster, but it isn't a huge difference. The larger question still remains - will any/all of these upgrades yield large performance gains and solve all/a higher percentage of my problems? Or do I have a decent sweet spot of a system and should wait for the software (e.g. MPE evolution in CS7-8) to catch up and take better advantage of what I have? Like I said from doing some rudimentary performance monitoring, I'm not seeing a pegged CPU (just a brief spike here/there), I'm not seeing disk transfer at capacity (although 1 disk has a slightly > 1 queue length at times), I'm not seeing in all cases over-utilization of memory, etc. (except higher RAM usage is seen albeit staggered for large JPEG time-lapse sequences, but I see choppiness well before RAM usage gets to 10 GB).
VIDEO: You correctly point out that the GTX 680 shows in the MPE graph on the PPBM5 website much better results than other cards. But keep in mind that most 680's are used in new systems, often with the latest CPU's and fast memory. I'm convinced that a 680 is not noticeably faster than a 580, because they have the same memory bandwidth, but it looks that way because they are often accompanied by hexa core i7-39xx CPU's with large amounts of memory. [Luke] Good point - potentially further evidence that the video card doesn't make a big difference? At least not enought to justify 5x the cost (e.g. $500 680 vs. $100 450). This would be consistnet with what Studio 1 Productions has seen. The GTS 450 has a memory bandwidth of 86 GB/s, the 660 Ti has 144.2 GB/s, so the latter is significantly faster as you have shown in some of your tests. [Luke] The only test I would characterize closer to having a significant increase using the 660 would be exporting large JPEG time-lapses to H.264, where it was a good 27% faster. The rest seemed more marginal or did not change. TESTING: You don't mention to what format you exported and with what resolution and framerate. Hardware MPE will come into play when you have rescaling, frame blending, blurring and stuff like that occurring. If you export to the same frame size and frame rate as your source and no blurring occurs, then exporting is purely a CPU matter and the video card has no impact at all. [Luke] See above - H.264, 1080p @23.9x fps. General remarks: I personally consider your 5 disk raid0 setup as pretty risky. You have multiplied the risk of losing all data by a factor 5!. You have no redundancy at all. Even though it is fast, I expect your sustained transfer rates are less than 450 MB/s and when using a 9 clip split screen, it may be too slow with the limited memory and the old CPU you have. You have effectively one single volume for video related editing (apart from the OS disk) and while that makes for easy administration, it still entails the drawbacks of the half-duplex connection of SATA. It might be better to add a couple of HDD's in raid0 for media cache, previews and exports to avoid that limitation. You can always carry those to a new system. [Luke] Yes there is a higher level of risk, but with backups every 30 minutes during project work I yield cheap/easy perf gains for the cost of--at most--30 minutes of work. I've lost no work in the last 4 years, 1 drive failed once while on vacation and I replaced it easily. Anyway backup/data integrity is a different issue separate from performance which I'd like to focus on in this context.
I get ~420MB/s read with this array (mostly older, blue WD drives and Deskstars). I'm running out of space, so I just ordered 3 x 2 TB WD black drives to replace this with, expecting probably a similar transfer rate. Again though I'm not necessarily seeing disk being a bottleneck in perf mon aside from one disk who's queue length sometimes goes over 1, so we'll see if the newer black drives help.
I have ordered 2x256 SATA III SSDs to put min my time-lapses on as having them on my current primary SSD seemed to help in some cases.
Sorry to be so harsh. [Luke] No worries, harsh is OK but I'm still not seeing a clear solution to some of my issues and I'm still not convinced a new system - short of a top-of-the-line SB or Xeon system (both of which are very $$) will be worth the upgrade. When 5 years had passed between my current system and my 2004 system, I feel like the upgrades were much more significant especially for bang/$.

Weird hissing bug in Premiere Pro CS6

I'm having a very strange problem with audio in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.
Whenever I make a cut in an audio clip, a few seconds of broadband hiss is introduced into it after the cut. The hiss is only there in the exported video. It does not appear after every cut but about 10% of them.
The hiss is equally there when I export into different video/audio formats. It is there when I used different editing codecs. It might only be there for clips I recorded using some not so good microphones on a Canon 5D II, but the hiss only shows up after I make an audio edit and export the video/audio or just the audio. Sometimes though it shows up right away in PP before export. If I clean up the hiss in Audition for a given clip I no longer hear it in PP but again it reappears after export.
It seems like the problem shows up when editing video shot on a Canon 5D MII with the in camera mic or several shotgun mics, but not with a decent lavalier mic. Changing the edit and export codecs doesn't help the problem.
(i7 960 3.3 GHz, Win 7 sp1 12GB, Nvidia GeForce GTX 470 1280MB, PP 6.02)

I have not encountered the "hissing bug"
But have encountered something similar to what you describe - but with differences.
When Audio is Cut at a point, that is not a Zero-Crossing, depending on the point on the Waveform, that the Cut was made, there can be a "pop," at that spot. Adobe Audition has the ability to set Cut at Zero-Crossing, but I do not think that PrPro has that capability.
Now, all of my encounters with a non-Zero-Crossing Cut has been the formation of a Transient, which does sound just like a pop (not a hiss) sound. I have never heard a hiss, and I do not think that what you are hearing, is what I am, with non-Zero-Crossing Cuts - they just happen to appear AT an Audio Cut.
Still, you might want to look at the Waveform very closely, just to rule out non-Zero-Crossing Cuts, in case that IS causing what you observe, but just producing a different sound, due to the difference in your Audio material.
Also, have you done a side-by-side comparison in Audition between one of the files with the hiss, and the original sourse file? What differences do you see, where the Cut was made, if so?
Wish that I had more to offer than a slightly similar problem, with a different sound.
Good luck,
Hunt

Annoying horizontal lines on preview Premiere Pro CS6

Hello everybody

I just changed over to Premiere Pro cs6 from avid and fcp 7/x. I am already sure i made the right decision. I love the interface, i really love it! and cant wait to get stuck into it properly.
I just bought a brand new, all singing all dancing 27 inch imac full spec 32gb RAM with a NIVIDA Geforce GTX 680MX 2048mb card. However pro cs6 by default is using the “Mecuary playback engine sofware only” instead of the “Mecuary playback engine Acceleration [CUDA] and i cant change it. Does it cs6 not support this card and if so will it in the future?
Any help would be greatly apericated!

MXF issues with Premiere Pro CS6

Hello,
I am having trouble using Canon XF300 MXF files in Premiere Pro CS6 v6.0.2. I am using the media browser (tried icon and list view) to import footage (first importing to internal HD via the Canon XF Utility). I can import and play audio and video for all files under 2.05 GB but PPro limits any file longer than 30 seconds to 30 seconds.
Alos, Canon cameras cut files over 2.05 GB into separate MXFs. Most of my footage are interviews over 10 minutes long so I have 3 or 4 separate MXF spanned files for each clip. Premiere is having most trouble handling these files. First of all it limits them to 30 seconds each. Then, when I import them and drag them into a sequence it will only play audio from the first spanned file, even if video from the second sapnned file is playing.
I have tried merging all spanned files using Canon XF Utility's 'Export to MXF' function. As a result I have one 10 minute long MXF file but when I import it to PPro it still limits it to 30 seconds.
I made the change to PPro because of the ability to edit various formats in a single senqunce without tanscoding. I recently purchased a Sony FS700 and FCP7 couldn't really handle the MTS (or clipwrapped movs). Premiere handles them perfectly but can't handle the MXFs. So currently I am finding myself going into FCP7, logging and transfering the MXFs and transcoding them to .movs using the Canon XF plugin for FCP7 and then importing those to Premiere (they work fine this way)...but of course its a hassle to do with hundreds of clips per shoot.
I also noted that VLC 2.0.x versions can't handle the MXFs so well (video plays fine, audio at double the speed) but VLC version 1.0.3 handles them ok as long as I dont forward the video.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Crashing issues with Premiere pro Cs6

When I use Premiere Pro CS6 it tends to crash and it also tends tends to make the video pink and green looking, and it also sometimes flips it upside down and turns it black and white. So I was wondering if auto-saving had anything to do with it or if my camera or cpu had anything to do with it. I re-installed the program once, I also tried converting my video files to h264 before bringing them into Premiere. I use a Sony HXR MC1500p, and I am not using PAL by the way (or maybe I am and I am unaware), I really dont understand PAL and NTSC anyway.

CPU Specs:

Please Help me!
Thanks, Ryan

1st. You don't have convert you videofiles they are AVCHD so OK for Premiere Pro.
2nd. The edit PC (with Pro pro) is far better off with Intel CPU, Nvidia GPU, lots of harddiscs, >800 watt gold PSU, big CPU cooler etc etc..
3rd. Read a few hours at the hardware department. And you could build a nice machine for $1500,- to $3000,- yourself or order at ADK.
