Acceleration
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 videos 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 Intel HD Graphics™ technology.
Enable NVIDIA® hardware acceleration
With this option enabled, your NVIDIA graphics card will process H.264 and MPEG-2 videos by up to 50% faster.
Because video processing is performed by the graphics card, your CPU is free for other tasks, ensuring smoother performance of other programs.
This option is only available if your computer is equipped with an NVIDIA graphics card that supports this technology. NVIDIA acceleration is supported in the GeForce, Tesla, and Quadro series. You can find the full list of supported GPUs on NVIDIA's official website: GPUs that support NVIDIA NVENC.
Enable AMD® hardware acceleration
With this option enabled, you can use AMD's graphics processing power for processing videos. Using the graphics card instead of the processor leaves your CPU free for other tasks, and you can use your computer without stuttering while converting videos.
This option is only available if your computer is equipped with an AMD graphics card that supports this technology.
Enable DirectX® hardware acceleration
With this option enabled, video processing is performed by the graphics card, hence your CPU is free for other tasks, ensuring smoother performance of other programs.
This option is only available for Windows 10/11 and if your computer is equipped with a graphics card that supports this technology (issued in 2019 or later).
Optimize HD clips
Fast Track HD Acceleration allows the program to run faster and more smoothly. By enabling this option, you allow 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 Video Editor can store and use the copies. Once you finish editing and start exporting your video, the original high-quality files will replace the temporary optimization copies.
Troubleshooting
If acceleration options are unavailable, your computer might not have compatible hardware. If you're sure that your hardware meets the requirements, try updating your drivers.
