Which GPU is Premiere Pro CC using for playback?

Is there any way to tell which GPU PPcc is using during playback? For instance, on the new Mac Pro, which card does it choose to use for accelerating effects? Or lets say I have a windows system with two different video cards installed, how does it choose which one to use, and can I specify which one it should use?

The OS determines most of it. As far as I know it is based on which PCI slot they are in, sorted by closest to the CPU to furthest, and independent of monitors being attached because the ordering is fixed at system startup while monitors can come and go. This can of course lead to some bad cases when the primary GPU doesn't have a monitor attached but those are edge cases. The one case of reordering we do over the OS list is we always put discrete devices ahead of integrated devices.
Premiere will only use 1 GPU for playback and all others can be used for export.
Hope this information is helpful.

  • Does Premiere Pro 2 use graphics card for playback?

    Does Premiere Pro 2 use graphics card for playback? I am using a 350W PSU, so my nVidia 6600GT runs in low-power mode, and my video playback in Premiere is choppy. The same .avi files play fine in a media player, so it can't be a disc issue I guess... Please advise, thank you!

    Only the latest CS5 uses SELECTED card's GPU for video acceleration
    >same .avi files play fine in a media player
    Playback is not at all the same as editing
    Use the FREE http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ to find out what codec is inside that AVI wrapper
    Anything other than DV AVI type 2 with 48khz sound is not going to do well in Premiere

  • Force Premiere Pro to Use More Memory

    Hello
    Is there any way to force Premiere Pro to use more memory on a macbook pro?
    I've got 8gb, but it's maxing out at 2gb....still have almost 4gb free not being used.
    In my memory preference, I have 6 GB set to share between Premiere Pro and the encoder.
    Thanks
    Noel

    It may be that that is all the memory that is needed for the current tasks. Consider that even when your system is working hard, it may not be the RAM the is the bottleneck. It may be that the hard disks, the buses, the CPUs, or the GPU is where the resources are maxed out.
    See this page for resources about Adobe Premiere Pro and performance.

  • Exporting from Premiere Pro CS4 using Media Encoder gets stop error

    I am trying to export my timeline from Premiere Pro CS4, using the Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to export my timeline as an MPEG2 HDTV 1080 24, and it goes for about fifteen minutes then I get the blue screen and my computer restarts, telling me the program had a stop error.  Is there a way to go around this step?  Another method to get the mpeg2 without losing quality?  Anything I can do?
    Please offer any knowledge you have before I scream at my computer again.
    Thank you

    as I know Adobe products are buggy no matter what hardware you have.
    I am sorry, but my experience has been the absolute opposite of what you have heard, or experienced. I have used many, many Adobe programs for almost 2 decades (maybe even more than 2 decades?), and have never observed such. I do have to admit that over those many years, I have always had a "state of the art" computer, but have made plenty of $ using Adobe software. Even with my now aging workstation, things work great. Time to upgrade though.
    When troubleshooting issues, they shake out like this:
    1.) system
    2.) Assets
    3.) Project
    4.) OE
    5.) Bugs
    This is after troubleshooting Adobe issues from almost the time that PS hit the PC, when they were only NNTP, in what, 1985?
    Now, I am not saying that your issue IS hardware, but only that that is the most likely issue, given a BSOD. Also, system is the #1 cause of issues, so that is where I start.
    Good luck,

  • Is there a "blur moving object" feature in Premiere Pro 2, like for pixelating a moving face?

    Is there a "blur moving object" feature in Premiere Pro 2, like for pixelating a moving face?
    When I went to post this question, I put "blur" in the tags, and it offered me a list of tags with the word "blur", including "path blur", which sounds like what I'm looking for, but I a did a search in the PDF manual for Premiere Pro 2, and it didn't find that anywhere.
    Thanks,
    digi

    There is no path option in PP2
    If the subject is moving you need to keyframe position over time yourself.

  • Which application of Netweaver will be useful for JAVA professionals

    Hi,
    I am new to Netweaver and need to know which application of netweaver will be useful for me. I am basically a JAVA Programmer.
    What exactly i can learrn in netweaver. EP,Webdynpro or XI.
    Regards,
    Sujan.

    Hi,
        Netweaver Portal(EP) is a frontend which provides one solid interface to all your applications, whether they are SAP or not. It runs on the java platform.
    You can develop pure j2ee applications using the Netweaver Developer Studio, it has plug-ins which help in developing SAP technologies such as Web Dynpro, but you don't have to use it, you can develop your application using pure java technologies like EJB, jsp, etc. It also provides a solution for deploying your apps to the web application server.
    In EP & WebDynPro, you can easily code if you have Java knowledge.Java is a big part of being a Portal Developer.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Pooja.

    That depends on what kind of "files" you're talking about and what your employer's policy is on using cloud storage.
    I found dropbox and/or OneDrive work very well for keeping documents in sync between multiple machines.

  • Premiere Pro CC asks for serial number ?

    I never received a serial number for premiere pro cc when i bought a plan. Also i though that creative cloud applications don't have serial numbers. Now i cannot even get onto the program.
    Photoshop CC works fine but premiere pro keeps asking for it and i cannot get on it !

  • 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.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CC Support for Importing / Exporting H.265 (HEVC) 4K Video

    Hi there,
    Does any know about how to export 4K content direct from premiere pro in the new H.265 HEVC codec in 4K resolution, or do you know of any third party software for Mac that can do this?
    I am having a problem finding a solution and frankly am surprised that this isn't already included in Premiere Pro CC.  Thanks for the help!
    I ask because I am exporting VERY large 4K files (they are 1-2 hour long Nature Relaxation videos) and so naturally being able to export at the new H.265 would be a blessing!
    Thanks for the help!

    I'm having the exact same problem with my machine!!! I was so excited to run across your post / thread, just because I've dealt with this since December as well.
    MBPr (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013)
    Processor  2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000 /  NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M
    Apple replaced the logic board in my machine in December after determining a bad GPU. Same exact screens and problems, glitches.. Sometimes getting kicked out of my account. When I log back in, it's just a matter of a few minutes before it locks up.
    First I was thinking it was the CUDA driver.. Uninstalled it.. Still have the issues.. Apple pushed me to split my SSD and install a clean OS X install, new user.. reinstall apps.. Still have the same issues..
    Went around this with Apple in February/March.. Was killing me with deadlines. Now, I'm back working on several large projects and for the past few weeks, the crashes and machine freeze ups are killing me. Got fed up and I'm back trying to seek help through Apple Executive Relations. I've spent countless hours trying to diagnose, working with support, visiting the local Apple store..
    The kicker is that we have three of these exact machines in my team at work, all using the same Adobe CC apps/Premiere Pro.. Mine is the only one that is doing this. I will have graphic glitches when the machine wakes from sleep. I also have the screen changing color profiles -- you can see it shift (I have my machine color calibrated) from the default to the custom profile.
    I would be happy to post a bunch of photos of the same graphic issues.. I have no solution at this point. Adobe, can you help us? I still believe it is a GPU issue and not software related.

  • Unable to Launch Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 using High-Performance on AMD Radeon Graphic Card

    I have been unable to launch Adobe Premiere Pro since installing it with the error message "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again"
    Here are my specs:
    Lenovo Ideapad U400
    Windows 7 (64bit)
    Intel i5 2.5 ghz processor
    AMD Radeon 6470M graphics card
    The only occasion during which I have successfully launched Premiere Pro was after reverting to the default graphics card on my computer and uninstalling AMD Radeon, otherwise, I have tried to change Premiere Pro to run on High-Performance on Catalyst Control Center to no avail, I do not wish to revert to the Standard Graphics Card as it slows down my computers performance one hell of a lot, neither do I wish to have to constantly uninstall and reinstall my AMD Radeon Graphics Card when I use Premiere Pro. Thank you for your time.

    Update:
    - with Intel (R) HD Graphics Card disabled, Catalyst Control Center reports that no AMD Graphic card is installed
    - using Device Manager under Control Panel, AMD Radeon 6470M was verified to be up-to-date
    - Premiere Pro works so long as I disable the Intel card before launch, however, I re-enable it upon startup to get rid of the 800x600 resolution
    - AMD Mobility Radeon Driver Verification Tool is unable to verify and update my driver, refers me to lenovo to update it.
    - My graphics card is up-to-date as verified by lenovo
    - Intel (R) HD Graphics Card now up-to-date
    - Display currently mainly using Intel (R) HD Graphics Card (Possibly why it caps resolution at 1024x768 when disabled) I'm not sure how to switch the main Graphics Card used, Catalyst Control Center doesn't seem to have the option.
    - when disabled, computer reverts to vgasave instead of Radeon
    - Disabling Radeon does nothing to existing display
    - After updating my Intel card, Catalyst Control Center reported CCC was not supported by the current display adapter
    - CCC worked after rolling back Intel card
         From what I infer, I believe the problem to root from my intel card being the main card used, if there is anyway to switch my radeon card to the default instead of the Intel card, do tell me, I believe this may solve the problem, I apologise for troubling you guys, and I'm starting to feel that I shouldn't be troubling Adobe with my problem with AMD, this discussion is probably really out of place but I hope it will help out others with a similar problem.
