Mac CS6 no Cuda / Open CL on supported laptop

[Tom Daigon]

If you are running your tests without a raid, then its no wonder you are getting bad performance. Like running a car with square wheels.:D If you want to use CS6, you need to understand how to maximize its performance. If not, you are better off with another NLE I think.

Forgot, This was tested using an eSata 4gb raid. Sonnett Tempo Pro card 108MB read, 175MB write as of last AJA Speed test @ 1920×1080 8 bit, 2.0GB.

It’s the same or worse than CS5. So far I am leaning toward worse performance than CS5.

I am only running one stream anyway.

Well its a bummer you are having such a bad experience. I have used AVCHD files with none of the issues you are having. Sorry I couldnt be of more help.

Try posting your issues at this forum and maybe an Adobe person can help you out.

It’s not a bad experience Tom. The experience is the same as before, I can edit without having to transcode. Great.

I see no hardware boost from the MacBook side of things. If anything it is slower. Is that Apple Lion? Is that Adobe? I am betting it is Apple Lion at fault. It is a stop gap OS for Mountain Lion. The future will reveal all, because neither one of these companies will answer anyone’s direct questions.

Eric, the only hardware boost you get from a graphics card that supports CUDA is listed below. Thats it.

What does Premiere Pro accelerate with CUDA?

Here’s a list of things that Premiere Pro CS5 and later can process with CUDA:

some effects
scaling
deinterlacing
blending modes
color space conversions

Yup, that’s why I Scaled a clip, used 3-way CC and Ultra key. Those are all Cuda accelerated effects. Nothing to see here. All of this may change with the official release. I get basically the same performance or better using the same effects in CS5 (in reality I use BCC keyer, BCC choke and BCC light wrap instead).

Im still surprised on how different our experience is with CS6. I haven’t come across a lot of folks experiencing the same or less performance than 5.5

[Erik Mickelson] ” I round tripped to AE CS6 to use Keylight on an mts file, white background solid to make sure key is working.”

Erik, just an fyi, if you like Keylight you should try Premiere’s built in Ultrakeyer.

Just as capable of excellent keys as Keylight in my experience and accelerated through CUDA.

You can play back single layers of keyed video in real time without rendering….amazing!
