AMD FirePro/OpenCL-powered Mercury Playback in Windows at IBC

[Erik Lindahl]

Brilliant! Don’t forget to add support for all AMD-Mac GPUs also. Hacking the “approved” list can result in some buggy behavior at the moment. A Radeon 5870 should be quite decent at accelerating effects I’d imagine.

there’s a cool video of this here:”

Hi Adam,

Didn’t go to IBC and was looking forward to seeing the video about “a special build of Premiere Pro running GPU-accelerated Mercury effects in Windows on OpenCL” – but all I saw was a 10-second mentioning of it in the video – no demo, no benchmarks, no details of any sort.

Did I miss it? If I didn’t, do you have any technical information on it?

Thanks.

Hi Alex,

The video link is one of the little boxes below the main “screen”. If you click to the Right a couple of times, its the video with the blond girl and the title is “Technology Preview – Premiere Pro with AMD”

I can’t give you any information about this build as I am under NDA and wasn’t given many details to begin with… 🙂

In our booth, we showed about 40 accelerated effects under the Mercury engine including 3-way CC, warp stabilizer, rolling shutter removal, alpha/chroma/luma keying, noise/grain, etc etc etc. We also showed GPU-accelerated realtime full-res decode of a number of different camera formats including the new JVC 4K GY-HMQ10u.

-all kinds of OpenCL-powered goodness for the boys and girls. 🙂

“Open” is good. “Choice” is good. right?

Cheers,

Adam

Always!

Watched the video, can’t wait to see the benchmarks.

Thanks Adam.
