Question about CUDA

[Todd Perchert]

Yes. I would uninstall the CUDA developers toolkit and your graphics driver. Then install the graphics card drivers again. Unless you are a software developer, do not install the toolkit.
Good Luck!

Thanks. I had already uninstalled the CUDA stuff by system restore. I re-installed the correct driver using the Device Manager. Everything seems to be fine except this one extremely simple, one shot, 25 seconds video with lumetri tweaks and Cosmo plugin says it’s going to take 14 hours (and rising by the second) to encode in AME. I have to assume at this point that there is something extremely weird about this clip.

Going to try another sequence and I’ll report back. Thanks again for your assistance and encouragement.

I’m apologize for helping to screw up your system.
I must be the one with the anomaly then because I could not get CUDA to work until I installed the CUDA Kit.
Maybe it’s me that needs to do a clean OS Install, my system may have a driver issue then.

Unless you’re actually developing something then you’d be better off not installing SDKs. There’s a separate CUDA driver for Mac systems only. On Windows everything you need comes with the basic Nvidia driver.

Well, everything is as it’s supposed to be, GeForce 1050 driver installed, no trace of CUDA, and I just added 16 gigs of RAM for a total of 72, and AME is STILL failing on the simplest of encodes. The only one I’ve actually gotten to encode all the way through was a 25 second clip with NO plugins, lumetri tweaks, nothing. Just loaded the clip on the timeline and encoded it. Let’s just say I’m extremely frustrated right now. On a brighter note Chrome seems to load much faster now…

ok this is getting f’d up now. I deleted the driver and went to re install and the installation failed. NOW what!?!

Clean install and use cleaner tool: both Premiere and AME.

In the process of doing that right now. PPro encoded ok, AME still failing. I’ll try just AME for now. If it’s still causing problems I’ll do PPro too. I’ll update the thread.

Installed. Encoded short clip, no problem, but did not include presets and lumetri tweaks. Went into preferences and unchecked import files natively, went back, started encode, failed. Went back to preferences, re-checked import files natively, started encode. FAILED!!! Grrrr….

Premiere Pro still encodes with no problem.

[Duke Sweden]

0K, this is where we stand right now. Premiere Pro encodes nicely. I deleted and re installed my graphics driver, deleted, re installed and updated Media Encoder. It encodes when “import files natively” is checked, which of course is no different than encoding a video clip with no tweaks to it. When I uncheck that, it fails.

I know from past experience that I’m eventually going to stumble upon the solution. I will update here for the benefit of others.
