Which Renderer to select ?
We just finished doing some premiere projects and now its time to render.
In the render engine of PP PRO CC and Media Encoder CC, I see there are two options,
MERCURY PLAYBACK ENGINE GPU ACCELERATION [CUDA]
MERCURY PLAYBACK ENGINE SOFTWARE ONLYIf I select the 1st one, it says, its not certified.
So, I selected the 2nd one and it gets selected fine.I would like to know, which is better and which renders quick ?
Why they are two options there ? Any specific job for each ? -

The GPU ACCELERATION option is available only if you have a graphics card that is supported by that feature. If your graphics card isn’t one of the supported cards, you can only use the SOFTWARE ONLY option. Being able to use the GPU ACCELERATION option will greatly increase the speed in which rendering takes place, so it might me worth it to invest in a supported card.

Here is the list of currently supported cards. The GTX 670 is not on it.

However, it may still work. Take a look at this…

If it meets the minimum requirements regardless of certification you can use it.

Yes, please read the 2nd link that was in my post.

If I change it to CUDA and keep it selected, then the render time increases 3 times .

Adobe CC will allow the hardware acceleration with Nvidia cards whether it’s on the supported list or not. The message is warning now that it’s not officially supported or tested. However last I checked Media Encoder would not use the hardware MPE acceleration if it wasn’t on the supported list so we still add the cards so they are. The last Adobe update may have fixed that but I haven’t tested it yet.

You can add an NVidia CUDA card to the supported cards text file.
Open a CMD prompt
CD to the directory where Premiere Pro is installed.
Run gpusniffer.exeAdd the card name to the cuda_supported_cards.txt file. Use the name exactly as it appears in the output from gpusniffer.exe
