Enable GPU Acceleration in Premiere Pro

Posted by Brian Cheng on April 20, 2014 at 4:36 am

So my Premiere Pro CC is running really slow when I’m viewing a After Effects dynamic linked footage.
I searched on the internet, and people said that allowing GPU Acceleration as renderer can speed up the previews.
But I cannot choose GPU Acceleration. It is grayed out.
I searched on the internet, and I found this video: https://youtu.be/N8nUuHzxv-U
I followed every step, but when I reached to the step when I need to know the name of my graphic card, terminal said:
— GPU Computation Info —
Did not find any devices that support GPU computation.

I then go to About This Mac, and found out that my graphics card is called Intel HD Graphics 4000.
Is it because of something missing in my computer so I that I can’t use GPU Acceleration? Or is it something else?

I am a beginner in learning technical things, so if it’s something real stupid, tell me anyway. I need to know.

If you need more information to help me solve my problem, please say it. I really really really need to get my previews loading.

**or maybe is there another way to make my previews faster? any suggestion? ANYTHING! I need help quick!**

This is unavoidable – dynamically linked footage will need to be preview rendered in the majority of cases, even if you were running hardware acceleration.

You do not have a compatible GPU so you’ll be unable to use hardware acceleration. Hardware acceleration is available for some nVidia (CUDA) and ATI (OpenCL) graphics cards.

Thanks for replying. At least now I know that graphic cards are not my choice of getting faster previews right now.
And about rendering, you saw my previous post. I still got problems with that.
Are there any other ways to make previews faster?

You will need a faster graphics card. No way around that issue.
