Acceleration preferences
If your computer is equipped with the necessary hardware, these options can help speed up encoding and decoding of media files, allowing you to save your movies much faster and enjoy smoother performance.
Enable Intel hardware acceleration
-
Accelerates video processing by up to 400% when working with H.264 and MPEG-2 video codecs.
-
This option is only available if your computer is equipped with an Intel processor that supports the Intel HD Graphics™ technology.
Enable NVENC hardware acceleration
-
With this option enabled, your NVIDIA graphics card will be used for processing H.264 and MPEG-2 videos and they will be saved up to 50% faster.
-
Because video processing is carried out by the graphics card, your CPU is free for other tasks, ensuring smoother performance in other programs.
-
This option is only available if your computer is equipped with an NVIDIA graphics card that supports this technology.
Enable NVENC hardware acceleration
-
Accelerates video processing by up to 2,5x when converting to H.264 video codecs for heavy files.
-
This option is only available if your computer is equipped with AMD graphics card that supports the Video Coding Engine technology.
Fast Track HD Acceleration
Fast Track HD Acceleration provides smooth and fast program running. By enabling HD clips optimization in the Preferences menu you allow the video editor to create copies of the project files in a smaller size and then use them in the project instead of the original ones. To enable this feature you need to have free disk space, so the Editor can store and use the copies. Once you finish editing and begin export, high-quality files will replace all the temporary optimization copies.
Troubleshooting
If acceleration options are unavailable:
-
Your computer might not have the right hardware.
-
If you're sure that your hardware meets the requirements, try updating your drivers. You can always find the newest version on the manufacturer's website: Intel Download Center | NVIDIA Driver Downloads
